See what scaling looks like before you make the next move.
Whether you are building your first multi-location group, considering outside investment, evaluating a DSO partnership or simply trying to run a stronger independent business, EDC gives you direct access to leaders who have already navigated the decisions ahead of you.
Why join us
Learn from groups further along the journey
Understand what changes when a dental business moves from one or two locations to 10, 50 or 100+, and which systems and processes are worth putting in place early.
Understand your growth options
Explore organic expansion, de novo growth, acquisitions, DSO affiliation, outside investment and eventual sale without being pushed toward a single model.
Make better early technology decisions
Meet PMS, RCM, staffing, marketing and operational partners that understand the needs of growing dental businesses, not just enterprise DSOs.
Build relationships before you need them
Meet DSO leaders, investors, lenders and M&A advisers before a capital raise, partnership or transaction becomes urgent.

- Founders and independent practice owners
- Leaders of emerging multi-site dental groups
- DSO CEOs, COOs and growth leaders further along the scale journey
