Why it matters for dental
Heartland Dental’s expansion of 1,900-plus supported practices increases competitive pressure on independent owners and DSOs in 39 states; practices evaluating affiliation should track which markets are now saturated.
Key points

- DSO growth of this scale affects local recruitment, payer negotiations, and real-estate availability for remaining independents.
