A private network for independent dental practice owners.
Most independent dentists operate without clear visibility into their true profitability and are left overpaying vendors, lacking benchmarking, and making decisions without real data. The Anchor Point was created to change that.
The Anchor Point is not an open enrollment program. Members are vetted and accepted based on fit, growth mindset, and commitment to operating at a higher level.
Stay independent · Reduce overhead · Improve EBITDA · Grow your practice
Most practice owners don’t have a clear, real-time picture of their EBITDA. This means they can’t see the leaks or the opportunities.
Without group purchasing power, independent practices pay retail rates on everything from labs to supplies
You don’t know if your overhead is high, your hygiene production is low, or your new patient numbers are off because there’s no peer comparison available to you.
Hiring, expansion, equipment, fee schedule decisions get made without a network of trusted operators who’ve navigated the same challenges.
The issue isn’t that independent dentistry is broken. It’s that independent dentists have been operating without the advantages that groups take for granted.
The Anchor Point is built to give independent practice owners access to the same data, purchasing power, and peer network that group practices rely on. And with no requirement to sell you practice.
From day one, Anchor Point members access group purchasing rates that were previously only available to large DSO networks — on the supplies and lab work that drive practice overhead every single month.
Quarterly EBITDA analysis and peer benchmarking gives you a level of financial clarity that most independent dentists have never had access to and which typically costs $10,000–$15,000 per year when purchased separately.
The Anchor Point is a peer network of growth-minded practice owners. The value is in the conversations: what’s actually working, what isn’t, and why.
“The most useful conversations I’ve had about running my practice weren’t with consultants. They were with other dentists who’d already solved the problem.”
— Anchor Point member
The leaders of Rising Tide Dental Partners have built and scaled multi-location practices from the ground up. Anchor Point members get direct access to that experience.
“We built Rising Tide because we believed dentists deserved better options. The Anchor Point is that same conviction applied to independence.”
— Rising Tide founding team
Most dentists who want to operate more profitably are told to choose between a coaching group or a buying group. Both are partial solutions. The Anchor Point combines the best of both and goes further.
Whether you’re a single-location GP or managing a small multi-location group, the Anchor Point is built around your scale and your priorities.
You care about the clinical side and you also want to understand and improve the business behind it. You’re not satisfied with ‘good enough.
You’re not looking to sell. You’re not looking for a partner to take the wheel. You want to operate better on your own terms but with better tools.
This is not a partnership or acquisition program. The Anchor Point is for dentists who want to stay independent and operate as well as any group practice in the country.
Some Anchor Point members eventually explore full partnership with Rising Tide. That conversation is always available, always on your terms, and never the price of admission. Many members join and remain independent indefinitely
