The Dental Economist Show

Dr. Saam Zarrabi: "If we want to talk about what the DSO space and private equity has brought to our field, it's massive investment. There's more innovation happening and investment into the technology and now the AI piece that's ever happened before, and it's global, right? So I think we're going to see this huge influx of innovation. I think a lot of people might go, “oh my gosh, they're taking my job”. No, this is going to relieve so much burden and cost that's  really hindering the system. And I think opening it up in ways that we're going to be able to better treat patients. We're going to do it at a faster pace, more efficient claim adjudication is going to get better with all the AI stuff.” 🧑💻 The dental field is undergoing a transformative shift with massive investments in technology and AI. These advancements are set to revolutionize patient care by reducing costs, alleviating burdens, and enhancing efficiency. ⚙️ Far from threatening jobs, AI is a tool that can improve treatment speed and precision.

Matt Ornstein: “Interest rates play a huge part on your free cash flow. And if free cash flow is negative, you're out of business, either you have to put more money in, or you're going to default on your loan and the bank and the lender is going to foreclose on your dental group. So free cash flow is extremely important to monitor in the dental space. In my opinion, it's the most important financial metrics to keep track of.” In our latest episode, Matt Ornstein of Dental Pitch Brokerage Firm uncovers the realities of managing a large dental service organization (DSO) and the profound impact of rising interest rates on free cash flow: “Interest rates have a massive impact in the DSO space and in the private equity world.” Matt explains how a rise in interest rates can turn a profitable DSO into a cash-flow negative entity, underscoring the critical importance of managing free cash flow and operational efficiency. He also sheds light on how to turn challenges into opportunities through organic growth and strategic cost management. Matt’s discussion is invaluable for understanding how financial dynamics shape the success of dental practices today.
