I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
TUSK Practice Sales has released its Q1 2026 Dental M&A Market Report, indicating that dental service organizations (DSOs) are preparing for increased acquisition activity as recapitalization cycles accelerate. The report highlights a decline in dental practice ownership among younger dentists, creating challenges for late-career owners looking to sell. Key factors include rising education costs and higher borrowing expenses, which complicate the transition to ownership. The report also notes volatility in the dental market in 2025 due to macroeconomic pressures, affecting deal volume and buyer behavior.
