Philosophy
At DCA, we believe the dentist is the critical link to success. No financial management system or business tool can be more important to the health and satisfaction of patients and to the success of a practice than the health care provider. Our dentist-focused philosophy offers dentists the opportunity to focus on patient care, not on business, and still enjoy the autonomy of making their own clinical decisions and determining their preferred scope of practice.
In today’s climate, private practice dentists are facing numerous challenges, from time-consuming day-to-day management problems to keeping up with the latest technologies. External factors such as managed care and government regulations have created economic pressures on all dental practices and, even with increased productivity, many dentists are seeing flat to lower earnings and a decrease in their practice equity.
DCA was formed to give dentists back the control and satisfaction they once enjoyed in their careers. DCA provides a management model that has proven successful for over two decades in a wide range of practice types and locations. The company is managed by veteran dentists and business professionals who provide management, development assistance and continuing education to our affiliated dental practices. Through economies of scale and centralized administration, DCA provides the practices with substantial savings in supplies, services and marketing.
DCA is committed to leading the industry in ground-breaking management development methods while providing the best environment and results for our patients and healthcare professionals. Unlike many dental practice management companies, DCA-affiliated practices have their own identities and operate under various names. The professional assets of each office are held by an affiliated, licensed dentist who teams with DCA to manage daily operations.
We believe in a team-oriented environment where the entire office staff works together to ensure procedural quality, time management and patient satisfaction. Continuing education on current dental advances is a priority that benefits patients, doctors and practices alike and maintains the competitive edge for which DCA-affiliated practices are known. This continual evolution ensures the flexibility of DCA’s system to adapt to variables such as geography, demographics, economic brackets, and managed care usage, among others.
We are pleased to welcome forward-thinking dentists and dental professionals to our unique organization.
