What does true community look like in dentistry?

It's independent practices choosing to work together rather than compete against each other. It's sharing resources, knowledge, and support to help everyone thrive.

At HPA, we're building something different - a community where independent practices can access DSO-level benefits while maintaining complete clinical autonomy. When we combine our purchasing power, negotiate together, and share best practices, everyone wins.

The future of independent dentistry isn't about going it alone. It's about choosing the right partnerships and community support.

What does community mean to your practice?

Many independent dental practices are sitting on hidden value they don't even realize exists. Here are 3 key factors that significantly impact your practice valuation:

✅ **Revenue Diversification** - Practices with multiple revenue streams (general, cosmetic, specialty services) typically command higher multiples
✅ **PPO Independence** - Reducing dependency on insurance plans increases your practice's attractiveness to buyers
✅ **Systems & Processes** - Well-documented procedures and efficient workflows show scalability

At HPA, we help practices discover and capture this hidden value through our membership programs. What questions do you have about maximizing your practice's worth?
