Practice Models & Corporate Dentistry Consultation
Dental practice models are the types of operational or business arrangements in which dentistry is practised. Dentists and the public have raised questions about the care provided through different practice models, including emerging models such as corporate dentistry and direct-to-consumer dentistry.
For this reason, the College has committed to ‘Practice Models and Corporate Dentistry’ as a three-year Strategic Project under the Emerging Issues pillar of the College’s 2023-25 Strategic Plan (more detailed information about the project can also be found here).
The objectives for this strategic project are:
- to better understand dental practice models that are operating in Ontario
- to identify issues and opportunities related to various dental practice models, including corporate dentistry
- to develop options to promote and assure quality of care and ensure effective regulation of dentists regardless of practice model type.
