About us
The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) is a non-profit organization comprised of more than 40 member companies and more than 100 industry partners. ADSO represents Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) before the public, policymakers and the media. Our members enable supported dentists to focus on their patients and expand access for dental care while maintaining the highest standards of business and professional ethics. Our members operate in 44 states and provide the highest level of non-clinical support to more than 13,000 dentists across the country as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. DSO-supported dentists, on average, have lower startup costs for a new practice, spend more time on clinical care within their practice than their non-DSO supported counterparts, and offer more flexible office hours for their patients. ADSO is the source of information regarding the role DSOs play in the evolving dental services marketplace.

Welcome back to #DSO101, where we guide you through the basics on #DentalSupportOrganizations, or #DSOs, and what they do! The idea for centralized business support for dental practices gained traction in the 1990s – and since then, DSOs have grown exponentially! In the last decade or so, specialty-focused DSOs, such as orthodontic support organizations, have become more prominent. Additionally, over the past few years, DSOs have increasingly prioritized #MedicalDentalIntegration – underscoring how critical #OralHealth is to overall health. These are just a few of the ways that DSOs have evolved over the past decade. To learn more about DSOs, visit the #DSODifference: https://dsodifference.org/

📣 Sending well wishes to this team of dedicated supported doctors and team members! Today marks the start of the 2nd annual domestic mission trip to Jenkins, KY to transform lives, enhance oral health for those without access to care, and create lasting memories that will stay with them forever. This is a direct result of the incredible generosity of everybody who donated to the Heartland Dental Foundation. Those contributions, combined with the invaluable support of HENRY SCHEIN CARES FOUNDATION INC and Dentsply Sirona who provided all the necessary supplies, have made this mission possible. 🦷 #HeartlandDentalFoundation #TheHeartlandDifference #FDD #FreeDentistryDay

Thank you, Governor Newsom, for vetoing AB 3129, a bill that would have cut off a critical source of private funding for health care providers across California. Without this funding, many providers in underfunded communities would have struggled to continue delivering essential care to patients in need, including oral care. By vetoing this costly and duplicative legislation, you’ve ensured that vital private partnerships and investments in our healthcare system can continue, helping to expand access and improve care for all Californians. This is especially important now, as we work to strengthen healthcare affordability and access. This harmful bill also would have created barriers to dental care by worsening workforce shortages throughout the state. We applaud Governor Newsom for protecting Californian’ access to high-quality, affordable #DentalCare by vetoing AB 3129.
