Private equity-backed dental support organizations (DSO's) have a fiduciary and primary responsibility to return money to their investors. Arbitrage due to differences in scale is the fastest and most efficient way DSO's can meet their financial commitments. The costs and resources to improve any one office is exponentially higher when compared to the relatively low transaction cost of simply buying another office and taking advantage of the natural arbitrage between a stand-alone office and one that is part of a larger group. Because DSO's real business model is to manage dental offices just long enough and well enough to provide enough time to acquire more of them, it should not be surprising that most DSO's CEOs, executives, and board members are NOT dentists.   

 

BUT, what if you wanted to build an organization around Great Dentistry, Best Dental Practices, and Great Dental Experiences? What if you wanted the dental offices in a group to be 100% controlled, managed and lead by dentists - because you thought that would be best for patients, staff's and partner dentists?  

​

 You would start a company like Branin. 

A company 100% controlled, managed and lead by great dentists. Where the fiduciary and primary responsibility is to Great Dentistry and the currency is reputation and integrity. A company where the costs and resources to improve every dentist, teammate and office is exponentially lower than the costs of being average.  Our structure financially rewards our partner dentists and teammates who create the difference between "us" and "them," NOT institutional investors. Welcome to Branin.
