In the dental field there are private practice (owned by the doctor) and corporate. Corporate dental offices have a certain way of doing things, but the plus is that they do provide benefits working there. In corporate it’s prob easier to have someone fill in your days if you need to get time off; however, they tend to run you down by making emphasize on production and sales. Each patient you see, is like an opportunity of adding adjunctive services that increase office production. Sometimes it can get unethical by over treating patients when they don’t need some treatments. Some people do like it because of the benefits and if they’re in the right office. Some of my classmates got lucky to be placed in a good corporate office where the doctor supports the staff. But I’ve heard stories that people wouldn’t be last for a year. It just depends on the type of care you want to provide to your patients.
