In December of 2025, Park Dental Partners, a doctor-owned and debt funded group of close to 100 practices in Minneapolis, went public. They’re not going to be the last. If you’re leading an emerging group practice, competing with publicly traded DSOs will dramatically change the landscape in every aspect: M&A, recruiting, technology, etc. It is inevitable that several more PE-backed DSOs will go public before the end of 2027. If you want to know why…“push play.”
