Values Approach Ownership Careers Education About Us Business Support You are supported by a dedicated team. Focus on your first love, dentistry Owner Dentists receive world-class support at every level, but still lead their own dental practice. They make the treatment decisions and provide clinical excellence. The owner dentists ultimately lead the way in creating Patients for Life™. But most dentists aren’t trained in the administrative tasks it takes to keep a practice running smoothly. That’s a different area of focus—and that's where PDS® Supported Autonomy comes in. PDS team members provide a support structure to manage everything on the business end from billing and staffing to IT support and marketing. The result is top-notch patient care.
