Planet DDS has partnered with the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization to provide its Launchpad Program to over 550 DEO members nationwide.


Planet DDS has announced a new partnership with the Dentist Entrepreneur Organization (DEO), making the company’s Launchpad Program available to DEO’s more than 550 members. The program is designed to support early-stage growth among dental groups, and this marks the first time DEO members will have access to it.

Program Tailored for Growing Dental Practices

The DEO represents over 1,800 practice locations across the country. The Launchpad Program aims to support smaller, privately owned dental groups by offering scalable software and consulting services. Through this collaboration, DEO coaches will assist members who join Launchpad to help them benefit from educational and networking opportunities within the Planet DDS client network.

Benefits for DEO Members

Participating DEO members will receive up to 80% savings on practice management and imaging software in their first year. Additionally, the standard $1,000 referral fee paid by Planet DDS will be returned as a credit toward implementation services.

The program also includes onboarding support from Planet DDS, consulting from DEO coaches, and access to enterprise tools such as Denticon Practice Management and Apteryx Cloud Imaging with AI.

Statements from DEO and Planet DDS Leadership

“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.”

“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.”
