A Private Conversation With Like-Minded Practice Owners
Join Saving Private Practice (SPP) for a private, invitation-based dinner in Salt Lake City for independent-minded dentists who want to better understand where the dental industry is headed — and what options may be available before they ever need to make a decision.
This evening is designed to be a candid, doctor-to-doctor conversation about ownership, autonomy, practice value, partnership models, and the changing dental market.
You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy dinner, ask honest questions, and connect with SPP leadership and other practice owners who care about protecting what they’ve built while keeping their future options open.
Who Should Attend?
This dinner is designed for:
- Current dental practice owners in Salt Lake City or surrounding Utah areas
- Doctors who are independent-minded but want to better understand today’s group options
- Practice owners who are curious how a doctor-led partnership model could work
- Dentists who want more support without giving up clinical and operational autonomy
- Owners thinking about growth, succession, equity, practice value, or long-term wealth creation
- Doctors who want to learn about alternatives to traditional DSOs before they need to make a decision
This event is best suited for doctors who own or co-own a dental practice and are open to a candid conversation about the future of private practice ownership in a changing dental market.
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 as a doctor-led alternative for practice owners who want more support without losing what makes their practice their own.
Through SPP’s Joint Venture model, 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.
That means you continue to protect the parts of ownership that matter most:
Your team.
Your fees.
Your culture.
Your clinical philosophy.
Your day-to-day practice identity.
SPP brings capital, infrastructure, strategic support, and the partnership of a growing network of like-minded doctors who are working to build something stronger together.
Why This Conversation Matters
If you own a successful dental practice, there’s a good chance you’ve already been contacted by DSOs, dental groups, brokers, or other organizations interested in talking about your future.
The hard part is not getting attention.
The hard part is knowing what all those options actually mean — and which model, if any, aligns with your goals, your team, your culture, and the future you want to build.
This dinner is an opportunity to step away from the noise and have a candid conversation about what is happening in the market and what practice owners should understand before making any major decisions.
You’ll leave with a better sense of:
- What makes SPP’s doctor-led partnership model different
- What questions to ask before considering any dental group
- How ownership, autonomy, equity, and future upside can be structured
- Why not all group models are created equal
- Whether a partnership model may fit your goals now or in the future
- What next steps could look like if you want to keep learning more
The goal is not to pressure you into a decision.
The goal is to help you better understand your options while you still have the time, leverage, and clarity to evaluate them thoughtfully.
Hosted by SPP Leadership
This dinner will be hosted by:
Dr. Weston Spencer
CEO, Saving Private Practice
Bryant Gibby
VP of Partnerships, Saving Private Practice
