Dentistry has gone corporate.
Instead of hanging out their shingles and building practices or working under an established dentist and eventually becoming a partner, dental-school graduates are increasingly opting to work for corporately run chains, according to studies by the American Dental Association.
Key factors driving the trend: Soaring student debt levels; the proliferation of increasingly costly dental technology; and the need for mobility options among two-income couples, according to an American Dental Association study.
