Questions dental groups ask

The things that come up before a first clinic goes live.

  • Do we have to buy equipment?

    No. We bring the full surgical and anesthesia armamentarium to the site. The host office purchases nothing.

  • Who holds the DEA registration?

    We do, per clinic. We obtain a local DEA registration for each site after the contract is in place, maintain the required logs, and run periodic drug-safe inventories.

  • Who holds the anesthesia permits?

    We do. A professional LLC is licensed in each state we practice in, and the general anesthesia permits are tied to our own licenses and our surgeons' credentials.

  • How does billing work?

    The group credentials the oral surgeon with its local insurance plans, so the host office bills under its own tax ID and keeps revenue cycle management.

  • How often would a surgeon be on site?

    We agree a schedule of clinic visits across the year with you, sized to the patient flow the needs analysis identifies.

  • How long does it take to start?

    It depends on the state Board of Dentistry approval and the DEA registration for the site. Those two steps set the pace.
