In 2011, Dentix launched with just seven clinics in Madrid. The company then went big – very big. By the close of 2015, it had dental clinics not just in Spain, but in Italy, Colombia and Mexico. Revenue soared from just €3m in its first year to €270m last year, an increase of 9,000%. Soon the company will add Chile, Peru and the United Kingdom to the list of countries where it operates.
That level of growth is nothing short of astonishing, and came about in large part because the company taps into a service that is in high demand all over the world.
Dental Service Organizations are growing exponentially and should continue to see increased growth
DSOs are appealing to patients on several levels;
There is a perception that a DSOs services are standardized and more cost effective, and that due to their size and multiple locations there is a higher level of training and quality of care provided.
For these reasons and in today’s economy, consumers in need of dental services are increasingly selecting a DSO rather than seeking out a solo dental clinician.
" Despite the growing consolidation of healthcare markets, the dental sector in the US remains highly fragmented and presents a significant investment opportunity for private equity firms and strategic buyers from adjacent healthcare sectors. Consolidation and the creation of dental chains can bring significant operational and procurement efficiencies, as long as local market differences and patients are respected. The Dental Services Organizations (DSO) sector is currently experiencing exponential growth as established DSOs expand, while newer equity firms are moving into the sector. If you are thinking to start a DSO / group practice, you may have already investigated some of the available options. With over a decade of experience and leaders in DSOs M&A and operation, our dental advisory services address a wide range of platform investment, succession and regulatory DSO as well as MSO objectives "
