Lecture
Topic : Dental Entrepreneurship - Is the Dentist an Entrepreneur?
Synopsis :
Seismic shifts in the dental landscape are now occurring. The asset value of solo dental practices is nose-diving due to a flattening of its revenues, increasing costs of doing business, competition for new patients who can pay for dentistry and the increasing restrictions of dental benefits. To make matters worse, student debt—along with a major shift in attitude among younger dentist—is reducing the number of viable buyers for dental practices, further depressing the negotiable value.
Among all this change, there is a minority of dentists who see such seismic shifts not as a threat but as an opportunity. These are the dentist entrepreneurs. They can envision building their own managed group practices, their own expression in the market, their own brand.
Dentist entrepreneurs are driven by their passion for creating a significant dental enterprise that reflects their values, vision and purpose. They reimagine how dentistry can be delivered. Thinking out of the box and how to become “Hungry for growth”.
