Independent Dental Business Intelligence
The clinical training was excellent.
The business training never happened.
Books, calculators, and research for the people running dental practices and dental groups — valuation, DSO transactions, operations, insurance strategy, and exit planning. Written by a 25-year industry insider. Priced like books, not like consultants.
The Problem
Everyone across the table has done this before. You're doing it once.
The DSO's deal team has closed hundreds of transactions. Your practice sale is your first. The insurance network's actuaries price thousands of contracts a year. You're negotiating one. The equipment rep has specified four hundred operatories. You're building your second.
That gap has nothing to do with intelligence. It comes from repetition, and there's no way to get repetition on a decision you make once in a career.
What you can get is the accumulated pattern — what the other side already knows, written down, at a price that doesn't require an engagement letter.
Why Independence Matters
Nobody here gets paid on your decision.
DSI doesn't broker practices. Doesn't take referral fees from DSOs, lenders, or insurance networks. Doesn't sell reader data. When a manufacturer sponsors a white paper, it's labeled, and the editorial stance stays neutral.
Twelve books · Seven calculators · Twenty-five years in dental operations · One revenue model: you buy a book, that's it.

About the Founder
After 25 years in dental office design, DSO operations, and industry consulting, I kept seeing brilliant clinicians running businesses they were never trained to operate — with almost no plain-language resources written for their world. So I built them.
