Our Latest Study Published in Journal of Dental Economics February 2026

We are proud to share an exciting milestone for our team: the successful publication of our latest research in Journal of Dental Economics, a leading national journal in the field of dentistry. This achievement reflects our continued commitment to contributing meaningful, data-driven insights to the profession and advancing the conversation around modern dental care.
Over the past several years, dentistry has experienced rapid growth in both innovation and patient demand—particularly in the area of dental implants. As treatment options evolve, so does the importance of understanding the broader landscape in which care is delivered.
Our recent work was developed with that purpose in mind.
Rather than focusing solely on clinical outcomes, this research takes a wider view—exploring patterns, trends, and real-world considerations that impact both providers and patients across different regions of the United States. By expanding beyond a single market and incorporating a broader dataset, the study reflects the complexity and diversity of today’s dental environment.
What makes this publication especially meaningful is not just the topic, but the process behind it.
This project represents months of collaboration, data collection, and analysis. It builds upon prior research and extends it into a more comprehensive, multi-market perspective. The goal was simple: to contribute something useful, relevant, and thought-provoking to the dental community.
Research like this plays an important role in shaping how practices think about care delivery, patient communication, and long-term strategy. It also helps foster a culture of transparency and continuous improvement within the profession.
For our team, this publication is part of a broader philosophy.
Our surgeons at Piney Point Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery believe that excellence in dentistry goes beyond clinical skills, it includes education, innovation, and a willingness to engage with the larger professional community. Contributing to peer-reviewed and industry publications allows us to stay at the forefront of emerging trends while also giving back to the field.
We are grateful to be included among the contributors to Journal of Dental Economics and look forward to continuing our involvement in future research and publications.
