"I love Smile Source's mission to protect the independent practice of dentistry. It’s wonderful to get together and talk about issues that we're having related to our practice and ways to be better.

We want all of us to be successful in our practices, so we share information. To potential new members, I’d say, it's an encouraging family and an investment in your career and practice."

"My first job out of school was at a DSO. I quickly found that my values and priorities were not in line with those of my employer. When the opportunity to purchase a private practice presented itself I jumped on it, but quickly learned that practicing good dentistry and having a successful business are not automatic partners.

Joining Smile Source connected me to a supportive network of dentists, Smile Source employees, and committed vendor partners with a wealth of reliable information they were happy to share. Through their guidance, I prioritized my CE so I could keep more treatment options in house, learned to be a team leader, and developed business skills that helped me double my production in a few years.

"I think the greatest path to prosperity for dentists is ownership, and the reason to explore Smile Source is that we have over 1,000 dentists who are saying It isn't too good to be true.

This really does work, and if you're interested in finding ways to protect your independence, to stay on that path and not just survive, but to thrive while competing with the DSOs…if you want to enjoy your career and renew your purpose, then I recommend you check us out."

"Smile Source is extremely important for competing with DSOs. We have the advantage of all our member practices being relationship-based. Our member doctors interface with others who want to stay independent and compete with the larger DSOs in their area.

New dentists will quickly learn how to make patients feel at home in an independent private practice where they will receive the care that they're looking for."

"I have grown from a $500K a year practice to just shy of $2 million a year. I have started placing implants and I get better pricing on ortho cases.

Due to being larger I have hired an associate and am a practice people are asking to work at. I have a lot of the latest technology that I have purchased through Smile Source vendors and rebates.
