An Inside Look At a Dentistry Consolidator – The Success of MB2 Dental – Dr. Mauricio Dardano: Ep #522

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Mauricio Dardano, co-founder and senior managing partner of MB2 Dental. Mauricio shares his journey from working as an associate dentist to helping build a thriving dental partnership organization. With MB2 Dental, he helped create a model that combines the resources, shared services, and scalability of a larger organization while preserving the autonomy of individual dentists.

Unlike traditional DSOs, which often enforce rigid systems, MB2 empowers dentists to maintain control over their practice operations while being a platform that can meet individual practice needs. Mauricio and I discuss what we can learn from MB2’s positive culture, leadership development, and transparent partnerships that continue to build their reputation in the dental community. Also, tune in for the two key things associates think about before becoming a dental practice owner and why scaling more dental practices can be challenging for a solo practitioner.
