If you’re just starting your research for the right dental billing company for your dental office or group, how do you best compare them? 

A billing company that makes the latest top leader list may be popular. But how do you select good candidates to meet your current and future goals?  

A list of top dental billing companies adds value to your research if it helps you evaluate them in terms of what your dental business needs. Dental billing companies exist to help you collect more revenue, and worry less about your billing process. But each company will bring unique experience and processes. 

Since it was founded in 2012, DCS has expanded from insurance billing to become a full-service dental billing service provider helping dental teams with clear, accurate, and compliant processes. We are among the fastest growing in an ever-changing industry.
