ABOUT US

42 North Dental is the Dental Support Organization (DSO) that provides support to dental practices. 42 North Dental provides services, resources, and support to help manage the business and administrative aspect of providing quality dental care. In addition to training, professional development, and driving growth for the business, 42 North Dental enables dental professionals to focus on what they love most — providing quality patient dental care.

Our name refers to the latitude of Boston, MA where we put down roots over 40 years ago. Boston is known as the “City of Firsts” where innovation, collaboration, and excellence come together. These key building blocks are the foundation of any great healthcare organization.

When you work for a 42 North Dental supported practice, you join a network of dental professionals who share best practices, provide mentoring and support, and share your commitment to quality patient care. You will have more access to training and free CE courses and a Human Resources department for job and benefit related questions. With an organization like 42 North Dental that is growing rapidly, there are always new and exciting opportunities for career development.

42 North Dental looks for quality, sizable practices that have a strong reputation that we can enhance and build upon. No two practices are alike! We will evaluate each practice and situation on its own merits and standings, but at the core, we look to partner with great doctors who have developed a great team and have a great story. We can help you understand the inherent value of your practice, so don’t hesitate to reach out for an initial, no-pressure conversation. Together, we can see if an affiliation makes sense for you.

42 North Dental has an outstanding group of specialists that work with the general dentists. While we do support each other and strive to keep all dental procedures within the organization, it is always our goal to serve the patient in the best and most efficient way possible. In cases where you determine that in-house specialty services do not work for a specific patient, the case can be referred elsewhere. You are in control of your patient’s care.

Yes! If your goal is to continue practicing, we want you to stay. Most of our affiliated doctors do — and they earn strong incomes while working fewer non-chairside hours. Once the affiliation and integration processes are settled, we will add specialists to your practice if it makes sense. Whatever your career goals may be, we’re here to provide support and work hand-in-hand to help you achieve them.

42 North Dental currently supports over a dozen differently named practices, including several multi-site group practices, all with strong brand value. Dentistry is a local business, and we encourage an open dialogue with our potential and current affiliates to assess the value of maintaining your own brand. Our goal is always to do what is right for your business and your patients.

No. Dentists maintain clinical control over patient care and treatment. However, we do expect each of our supported dentists to follow the standard of care for the dental community. The clinical management team is here to help you stay abreast of new regulations, requirements, and techniques.

Your staff will become part of the team and will be eligible for the full complement of benefits and opportunities offered by 42 North Dental. From training to peer support, our large and growing team of dental assistants, hygienists, practice managers, and administrative staff share ideas, receive ongoing training, and enjoy professional growth.
