I share my personal experience working at Aspen Dental and break down what it’s like to work at a DSO (Dental Service Organization) like Aspen, Heartland, or Pacific Dental. If you’re a new dentist looking to gain experience, increase your speed, and learn the ropes of dentistry, working at a DSO could be a great first step.

But here’s the truth: while working for a DSO can offer some advantages early on, the real money and control come with practice ownership. I’ll explain how you can use DSOs to your advantage and why it’s crucial not to stay too long. Learn about the pay, daily tasks, and pros/cons of working in a corporate dental setting. Plus, find out why buying your own practice should always be the end goal!
