Strategic Guidance for Oral Surgery Practice Owners

A successful oral surgery practice sale requires going beyond finding the right buyers. It takes a deep understanding of your goals, significant preparation when done right, positioning, and a clear understanding of each buyer’s capabilities, trajectory and acquisition profile, including how they value your implant and anesthesia revenue, surgical case volume, and referring-dentist network. Our dedicated team covers all these bases, and understands the worth of the practice to provide you with the leverage you need.

 

We review your financial performance, case and procedure mix, referral relationships, patient demand, positioning and growth opportunities. That helps owners see their practice the way buyers will before entering the market. We think the old adage, measure twice, cut once, applies well here.

Strategic Guidance for Oral Surgery Practice Owners

A Disciplined Process Built Around Value

Everything from the right buyer universe, the right positioning and the right highly-orchestrated sale process must be managed carefully to sell an oral surgery practice. Our dedicated team does this on a bespoke basis for you, built on decades of experience, pattern recognition and a track record of success.

A Disciplined Process Built Around Value

The step-by-step process includes the following:

  • Practice valuation
  • Transaction readiness
  • Confidential buyer positioning
  • Preparation of marketing materials
  • Targeted outreach to qualified buyers
  • Offer review and negotiation support
  • Closing support and transition planning
This approach has been proven to maximize certainty, optimize outcomes and keep the seller in control of timing, information, and deal terms.

Why Work With An Oral Surgery Practice Sales Firm?

It involves more than finding buyers. Every oral surgery practice has unique value drivers, from dental implants and in-office anesthesia to third-molar volume, surgical capacity, and the strength of your referring-dentist relationships. Get a clear understanding of what makes an oral surgery practice valuable.
Someone who speaks the same language as both surgeons and buyers is essential here.

The process is managed discreetly to protect staff, patients, and referral relationships.

Research shows practices who have professional representation achieve valuations 10-40% higher than without representation. At these levels, after paying the fees for professional representation, the selling doctor(s) keep more proceeds than they would on their own. And that’s just on economics. Risk protection, quality of life and all of the other important aspects of the doctor(s) post-close period typically materially benefit too.

An oral surgery practice sales firm helps review price, deal structure, transition terms, rollover equity, and post-sale obligations.
Sellers receive support during buyer questions, document review, and closing preparation. This is where deals can, and often do, fall apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it is the right time to sell my oral surgery practice?
The right time depends on your goals, practice’s plans, financial performance, growth opportunities, market demand and market conditions. A valuation will help you understand where your practice stands before starting the sale process.
Can I sell my oral surgery practice and continue working after the sale?
Yes. Many oral surgeons stay involved after closing through an employment agreement, transition role, or equity partnership, and are often required to do so by the buyer. Buyers typically desire 3-5 year stay periods, these can be negotiated and do impact valuation. In surgeon-led platforms, rollover equity is common and can be a meaningful part of total value.
Who buys oral surgery practices?
Potential buyers may include private equity-backed oral surgery and dental platforms, specialty dental groups, regional operators, strategic healthcare buyers and surgeon-led organizations. The buyer depends on your practice size, location, case mix and growth potential.
How long does an oral surgery practice sale take?
The timeline can vary based on preparation, buyer interest, diligence, negotiations and closing requirements. Most transactions take 6-9 months.
Why should I work with an oral surgery M&A advisor?

An experienced oral surgery M&A advisor helps with valuation, buyer targeting, proposal review, negotiation, due diligence and closing support. This lets practice owners avoid common mistakes and maximize returns. Owners are typically economically better off (and often significantly so) and their post-deal risk is minimized, so it may be a better question to ask ‘why shouldn’t I work with an oral surgery M&A advisor?’
