About us
The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) is a non-profit organization comprised of more than 40 member companies and more than 100 industry partners. ADSO represents Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) before the public, policymakers and the media. Our members enable supported dentists to focus on their patients and expand access for dental care while maintaining the highest standards of business and professional ethics. Our members operate in 44 states and provide the highest level of non-clinical support to more than 13,000 dentists across the country as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. DSO-supported dentists, on average, have lower startup costs for a new practice, spend more time on clinical care within their practice than their non-DSO supported counterparts, and offer more flexible office hours for their patients. ADSO is the source of information regarding the role DSOs play in the evolving dental services marketplace.

Welcome back to #DSO101, where we guide you through the basics on #DentalServiceOrganizations, or #DSOs, and what they do! In terms of professional development, DSOs provide clinical mentorship to help hone clinical care skills, robust training curricula for continuing education, and peer networks through which you can share best practices and develop a professional support group. DSOs are inherently structured to provide dentists at any stage of their career access to support and mentoring. To learn more about DSOs, visit the #DSODifference: https://dsodifference.org/
