News Highlights

Key points from the Center for Policy Information on Health and Welfare’s materials (15 pages) regarding the overview of the FY2026 medical fee revision for dentistry. Mid-to-long-term management and succession strategies considering the revision cycle, economies of scale through group participation (maintaining facility standards, distributing equipment investment burdens), and utilization of tax incentives including conversion to specific medical corporations and social medical corporations are raised as discussion points for M&A and business succession.

Perspective from M&A Medical Editorial Department

The structural changes in the dental industry suggested by the overview of the FY2026 medical fee revision further increase the necessity of M&A and business succession. In particular, the importance of mid-to-long-term strategies that consider the revision cycle is not limited to simply addressing a lack of successors. For example, maintaining facility standards and distributing the burden of equipment investment through group participation enables access to advanced medical equipment and the introduction of the latest facilities, which are difficult to maintain independently, leading to improved quality of regional medical care. Furthermore, the utilization of tax schemes with a view to transitioning to specific medical corporations or social medical corporations is an essential consideration not only for reducing tax burdens during succession but also for enhancing organizational sustainability. These trends will serve as an opportunity for individual dental clinic managers to redefine their own clinic’s future vision and consider strategic M&A and business succession.
