Reasons for the success of the group dental practice model
There are many reasons for the success of large group practices. One reason for the success is that they thrive on efficiencies of scale and significant marketing. These practices can negotiate volume discounts with suppliers and laboratories and possibly reimbursement rates with insurance companies. Large group practices with multiple dentists at one location can maximize patient care hours at the facility. The economy is having an impact, too. A down commercial real estate market could mean greater opportunities for corporations to purchase or build at a low price.
