The specialist continued by explaining the impact of DSOs on dentistry, as well as how this would shift in the next couple of years.
While outlining the competitive landscape for medical and dental suppliers, the specialist noted that there could be a shift from traditional players such as Henry Schein to other players such as Amazon. The specialist explained potential barriers of entry that traditional players could create to prevent further market penetration by Amazon.
