DSO Deal Roundup – December 2023

 

Dental support organization (DSO) and dental group practice consolidation remain steady, but there has been a dip in December’s activity. This could be attributed to the holiday season. Perhaps deals are taking longer to close or fewer deals are closing? We’ll see how Q1 2024 plays out.
