DEO Partners with Planet DDS to Expand Growth Resources for Emerging Dental Groups

Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based, enterprise-grade dental software solutions, announced a new partnership with the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization (DEO), making the Planet DDS Launchpad Program available to DEO’s 550+ Members for the first time.

The partnership expands the portfolio of tools and resources available to DEO Members, who represent more than 1,800 practice locations nationwide. With Launchpad, growth-focused dental groups gain access to cost savings, expert guidance, and scalable technology designed to support organizations in their early stages of expansion.

“At DEO, our mission is to take dentists on the journey from clinicians to entrepreneurs to executives,” said Emmet Scott, CEO of DEO. “That path isn’t easy, and no one crosses it alone. Our role is to provide vision, education, and coaching, and to connect our members with innovation partners who bring the solutions that make growth possible. Launchpad is one of those solutions, offering the support and infrastructure that helps our members accelerate their transition into confident, capable leaders of thriving dental organizations.”

Expanding Resources for Growth-Minded Practices
Launchpad was created to address the unique challenges smaller, privately owned dental groups face as they expand. Through this collaboration, DEO coaches will play an active role in supporting members who join Launchpad, ensuring they maximize the insights, education, and networking opportunities available within the Planet DDS ecosystem of clients, consultants, and industry partners.

  • Operational Efficiency and Automation – Tools that streamline scheduling, reduce administrative burdens, and enable smarter, faster decision-making.
  • Early Access to Enterprise Tools: Launchpad supports the transition away from outdated, fragmented systems to a unified platform that enables smarter, faster decision-making.

“We are honored to be the first and only practice management partner that DEO has chosen to work with in this way,” said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS. “We share a deep commitment to helping growth-minded dental groups succeed, and with Launchpad, we’re focused on equipping these practices with the infrastructure, insights, and support they need to scale.”
