title: A Short Tour as a Staff Dentist in a Large Group Practice.
abstract: A large group practice can be owned and managed by a dentist with all business operations internal to the organization. Under such a system there can still be a separation of chairside and overall patient oral health considerations. Such a model provides benefits to some dentists--specially those beginning their careers and those who are working a few hours per week at the end of their careers. Centralizing business functions within an office and screening them from the practitioners who provide the care have advantages and disadvantages.
