We started in dentistry because we loved helping people. We saw an opportunity to help other dentists too. Far too many of us are losing collective bargaining power to larger dental groups and insurance companies. SGA uses our collective power to benefit our patients and our teams.
In dentistry, the relationship between the patient and the dentist is paramount. SGA manages and navigates the crucial interpersonal relationships that support the patient and dentist experience. SGA empowers teams and teaches cutting-edge lessons on how to take care of each other.
Maintaining a high level of engagement across all levels of our partnership is what separates us from everyone else.
SGA wants dentists to do what they love and then we’ll take care of the rest.
