At the 12th Annual Dykema DSO Conference, industry leaders made one thing clear—the next decade of dental growth belongs to DSOs that embrace automation, centralization, and clinician-first technology. From end-to-end RCM automation to smarter patient experiences, the message from top executives like Aspen Dental and MB2 Dental is unified: technology that reduces friction and empowers teams is the key to scaling smarter and faster.
The Dykema 2025 Conference made one thing clear—automation, integration, and clinician-first design will define the next era of DSOs.
Manual RCM workflows are draining profits. Forward-thinking DSOs are unifying their revenue systems—integrating eligibility checks, claims, and collections into one real-time platform for better visibility and control.
Fragmented tools are being replaced by centralized scheduling systems with live dashboards. The result: higher chair utilization, fewer no-shows, and consistent reporting across all practices.
Paper-heavy intake is giving way to mobile pre-registration, digital check-ins, and touchless kiosks—cutting wait times by 30% and reducing front-desk burnout.
Technology should support, not slow down, care delivery. Real-time analytics, voice-enabled documentation, and instant treatment validation are making clinical workflows more efficient and stress-free.
Technology fuels growth, but people sustain it. DSOs investing in leadership development, training, and retention are building stronger, future-ready teams.
