Most dentists are told there are only two choices: go it alone or sell out to corporate dentistry. Dr. Layla Lohmann and David Lohmann built Apex Dental Partners to prove that was a lie.

In this episode of The Margin Line, Joe Lynch sits down with Apex Dental Partners' co-founders to unpack how a patient who got her first crown at 12 grew up to build one of the fastest-growing DSOs in the country, landing on the Inc. 5000 list six years in a row, scaling to 65 practices, and generating $1.6M in production growth for its first doctor leadership cohort alone.

They get into:

• The "supported dentistry" model that gives doctors private-practice autonomy inside a larger organization
• Why most DSO partnerships fail, and the exact culture levers Apex pulls to retain doctors and staff
• How clinical AI is closing the confidence gap for dentists and transforming case acceptance
• The leadership development engine turning individual doctors into growth drivers
• Why technology done wrong creates burnout, and how to use it so it doesn't

If you're a dentist weighing your options, burning out in a model that doesn't fit, or trying to understand what the next generation of group dentistry actually looks like, this is the blueprint.
