title: Dental Health Center 2000.
abstract: The Dental Health Center concept is proposed as a method to maintain control of the dental delivery system while delegating the dentist's managerial and supervisory responsibilities to well-trained business executives. The Center would be a uniquely designed facility that operates 12 hours per day, 6 days a week for 50 weeks of the year. The participating dentists relocate their practices to the facility at a practice purchase price determined by the dentist, paid half in cash and half in center stock. In return, the dentists agree to produce that practice purchase price annually; in turn, they receive 45 percent of their monthly collected dental service fees and have access to all the services of the Center.
