Dental Group refers to a collection of dental practices or clinics operated under a single organization, often employing multiple dentists and staff. Dental Assistants support dentists directly by preparing patients and equipment. While both roles are integral to dental care, Dental Group is an organizational entity, whereas Dental Assistants are individual healthcare providers working within such groups.
