A Private Conversation With Like-Minded Practice Owners
Join Saving Private Practice (SPP) for a small, invitation-based dinner for independent-minded dentists who want to better understand what is happening in the dental market and what options exist beyond traditional corporate dentistry.
You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy dinner, ask candid questions, and connect with SPP leadership and other doctors who care about preserving ownership, autonomy, and practice culture.
Who Should Attend?
This dinner is designed for:
- Current dental practice owners in Orange County or surrounding Southern California areas
- Doctors who are independent-minded but curious about group options
- Practice owners who want to better understand how a partnership model could work
- Dentists who want support without giving up clinical and operational autonomy
- Owners thinking about growth, succession, equity, or long-term wealth creation
- Doctors who want to learn about alternatives to traditional DSOs
This event is best suited for doctors who own or co-own a dental practice and are open to a serious conversation about the future of private practice ownership.
This May Not Be The Right Fit If…
This dinner is not intended for:
- Vendors or service providers
- Dental students or residents
- Doctors currently employed by a DSO with no ownership interest
- Non-dentist guests
- Anyone simply looking for a free dinner
- Dentists who are not open to learning about dental partnership models
We want the room to be valuable for everyone attending. To keep the conversation focused, seats are limited to qualified practice owners and invited guests.
What We’ll Talk About Over Dinner
This will be a candid, doctor-to-doctor conversation around:
- What is changing in the dental group landscape
- Why many private practice owners are exploring partnership models
- How SPP differs from traditional corporate dentistry
- How owners can monetize part of the equity they have built
- What it can look like to retain clinical and operational autonomy
- How to protect your team, fees, culture, and practice identity
- What questions every owner should ask before considering a group
A Doctor-Founded, Doctor-Led Dental Partnership Group
SPP was built specifically as an alternative to corporate dentistry. Through SPP’s Joint Venture model, practice owners can explore the opportunity to monetize part of the equity they have built through a partial acquisition paid in cash or equity — while retaining full clinical and operational autonomy.
Your team.
Your fees.
Your culture.
Your clinical philosophy.
SPP provides the capital, infrastructure, and partnership of a growing network of like-minded doctors.
Why This Conversation Matters
If you own a successful practice, you may already be receiving calls, letters, or emails from DSOs and dental groups. The challenge is knowing which model, if any, actually aligns with your goals.
This dinner is an opportunity to step away from the noise and get a clearer understanding of your options.
You’ll leave with a better sense of:
- What makes SPP different
- What questions to ask before considering ANY group
- How ownership, autonomy, and equity can be structured
- Whether a doctor-led partnership model may fit your goals
- What next steps could look like if you want to learn more
Hosted by SPP Leadership

Dr. Weston Spencer
