But more importantly my net profits has gone from some months being in the red to now consistently being 15 to 20% more. And I have gone from working four days a week painfully to working three and a half days a week with an associate and more time off.
I’ve gone from practicing four to five days a week to not practicing at all for the past year. The biggest win has been the connections; having peers I can text anytime who understand the same challenges. That support helped us grow, realize we’re not alone, and build the confidence to keep expanding.

Join The DEO App
Sign up for The DEO App for $700 per month. There's no long term contract and you can cancel anytime. From the moment you join you will have instant access to the full DEO community, the content library, and the Cost Savings Club. Your foundation starts the day you sign up.
Activate your Cost Savings Club
One of the first things every new Builder member does is activate their Cost Savings Club membership. With over $1,500 per month in negotiated vendor savings available immediately, most members cover the cost of their App membership before their first month is up. Your DEO onboarding guide walks you through every vendor and how to access your savings.
Plug into the community and live trainings

Every person in it is serious about building their practice, which means every conversation is worth having. Your first live training will give you immediate, actionable clarity on one of the biggest challenges you are facing right now.
Start executing with the playbooks
Dig into The DEO's content library and find the playbooks and frameworks most relevant to where you are right now. Whether you are trying to understand your overhead, hire your first associate, or build your first real financial reporting system, The DEO content library has a proven resource for every challenge you will face at the Builder stage. This is where the guesswork ends and the real building begins.
Real practice owners. Real results.

Frequently asked questions
The DEO App is a $700 per month membership for dental practice owners (especially those under $1.2M in annual revenue) that gives you access to a curated peer community of dental entrepreneurs, live monthly trainings with DEO coaches, a proprietary playbook and resource library, peer mastermind groups, and the Cost Savings Club with negotiated vendor pricing worth over $1,500 per month in savings. It is the entry point into The DEO ecosystem and the starting point for every dental entrepreneur who is serious about building a real business.
The DEO App is designed specifically for dental entrepreneurs at the Builder stage, under $1.2M in annual revenue. It provides community, content, and vendor savings that give Builders the foundation they need to grow. DEO coaching (available at the High Producer stage for practices making $1.2M and above) adds dedicated twice monthly 1:1 coaching sessions, group coaching calls, and more. Additional add on services include fractional CFO, bookkeeping, COO consulting, and Treatment Closing Academy. Many App members graduate naturally into coaching as their practice grows past $1.2M.
No long term contract. The DEO App is $700 per month and you can cancel anytime. The DEO believes the value speaks for itself, which is why there is no lock in, no annual commitment, and no cancellation fee. Most Builder members find that between the Cost Savings Club vendor savings and the impact of the community and trainings, the App pays for itself many times over every single month.
"When we started we had four locations. Now we have 12. I take a month off every year — this last year went to Portugal and Iceland. When I joined DEO in 2018 I was practicing five days a week, had a two hour commute, and two kids under five. It was pretty stressful."
"We did about $6.5 million together last year and we should hit close to $8 million this year. When you start to scale you do not know what you do not know — and DEO stepped in and gave me clear direction and prioritization to say this is what we should be working on now and this is what is coming next."
"We went from $3M to $5M in revenue, and when I look back at all the decisions we've made building our company, The DEO has easily been the most impactful."
"Before DEO we were at one location with 11 team members and heavily insurance dependent. We now have three locations, solid team members at all positions, and are moving more and more away from insurance dependence. We are stronger, leaner, and faster than we have ever been."
