Recognizing Dental's Operational Heroes

Whether you're a DSO leader making an impact or know someone who is, we're building the definitive list to showcase operational and data excellence in group dentistry.

Behind Every Growing DSO

While group dental organizations celebrate their growth and achievements, the operational leaders and data professionals driving this success often remain behind the scenes. 

‍

Whether that's you as a Regional Director, Operations Manager, or Analytics Expert, or a colleague you admire, the work of refining systems, improving efficiency, and unlocking insights deserves recognition.‍

It's time for these contributions to be celebrated.
