Corporate dental businesses can streamline hiring staff and optimizing them across multiple offices, negotiate better prices from suppliers based on higher volumes, deal with landlords regarding rent and improvements, centralize administrative processes and marketing and collections, and they have the capital to be able to offer the sole practitioner dentist who is eyeing retirement a sweet deal and easy transition rather than that dentist having to conduct a search for a successor. Sure the corporation is probably more focused on the bottom line, but they also bring a lot of advantages to the table for a dentist who just wants to be a dentist and not an entrepreneur Jack-of-all-trades.
