The dental services industry is experiencing a change in its delivery model through dental service organizations or dental support organizations (DSOs) giving rise to more corporate or group practices. DSOs are independent business support centers that contract with dental services providers and provide critical business management and support to dental practices, including non-clinical operations. The DSOs are facilitating more in-house treatments such as orthodontics, endodontic and oral maxillofacial surgery instead of being referred to a separate specialist. Group practices provide improved funding for infrastructure, equipment and expenses associated with hiring specialists.
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), in the USA, as of 2017, nearly 16.3% of the dentists were affiliated with dental service organizations.
Price limits by regulatory bodies on certain dental services affected the market in the historic period and will continue affecting the market in the forecast period. These price caps are placed to make healthcare services more accessible and affordable to patients, but negatively impact the revenues of dental services companies. Dental services companies, therefore, have to deal with pricing pressure while maintaining the quality of the services provided. Also, the rising cost of dental devices and other equipment continues to add to the overall cost burden.
Dental waste disposable also increases the overall expenditures of dental service practices. These factors are expected to limit the growth of the market going forward.
The dental services market is expected to benefit from increase in demand for dental procedures, with rise in awareness regarding medical conditions. People are increasingly referring to medical websites and journals on the internet for information on dental issues. They are then searching for clinics, doctors and various treatments being offered by independent dentists, clinics or dental hospitals. Many blogs such as deardoctor.com, dentalbuzz.com and brightnow.com are publishing articles on dental health and answering individual queries, driving the demand for dental services.
