ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Over the last 35 years, thousands of dentists of all specialties have quietly partnered with one of the 1000+ Invisible Dental Support Organizations (IDSO) in all 50 states. The trend is accelerating in 2026 with over $10.0 Billion invested in IDSOs in the last 24 months. Doctors sell a part of their practice for millions in cash up front and remain as owners, leading their practice for years or decades with their brand, team and full autonomy.

In this webinar we will discuss how IDSOs are different from traditional DSOs and why doctors as young as 35 have chosen to take on a silent IDSO partner.

Learning Objectives:

✅ Differentiate IDSOs from traditional DSOs

✅ Assess the financial and operational impact of an IDSO partnership

✅ Evaluate whether an IDSO partnership is a viable option for their practice
