Unlike most DSOs, Onyx is a true partnership and growth platform. We believe in a model where dentists retain ownership of their practices, maintain clinical autonomy, and can also own equity in the broader organization. This structure ensures that our partner dentists remain in control of clinical decisions while receiving the support and resources of a larger network.

We do both. Onyx Dental acquires practices from dentists looking to retire or step away. We also partner with younger dentists who want to retain ownership and autonomy while leveraging our resources and expertise. In each scenario, our model remains flexible to meet the unique needs of every dentist.

Although every practice is unique, our streamlined systems typically allow for a smooth and efficient transition—often within a few months. Our team works closely with you during due diligence, contract review, and operational handover to keep things on track and minimize disruptions.

Absolutely. We have two primary divisions: our implant-focused business and our multi-specialty division. We partner with, and hire, specialists across endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, and more. If you run a specialty practice, we’ll tailor a partnership plan that fits your specific clinical focus.

Our mission is to help dentists thrive professionally and financially while delivering exceptional patient care. We prioritize partnership, clinical autonomy, and a collaborative approach to dentistry. By aligning our goals with yours, we create an environment that fosters mutual success and long-term practice growth.

Not at all. A cornerstone of our model is that you remain in control of all clinical decisions. We handle administrative, growth, and operational support, freeing you to focus on patient care. You retain your brand identity (if desired) and continue to shape the practice culture.

We offer multiple partnership tiers, allowing you to maintain an ownership stake in your individual practice, as well as shares in the overall Onyx Dental network. This structure ensures your success remains directly tied to the growth of both your own location and the larger organization.

We provide a personalized growth plan tailored to your practice goals. This can include marketing and branding support, operational management tools, leadership development, technology upgrades, and hiring strategies for new associates or specialists. We also offer ongoing mentorship and training to foster continuous improvement.
