Strategic Guidance for Dental Practice Owners

We leave no stone unturned when preparing a practice for the market. That ensures we can provide dental practice owners with the strategic guidance they need to navigate the sale process.

 

We review your financial performance, payer and PPO/fee-for-service mix, operational strength, patient demand, positioning, and growth opportunities. This helps owners see their practice the way buyers will as they get ready to sell.

A Disciplined Process Built Around Value

A Disciplined Process Built Around Value

Everything has to be managed deftly to sell a dental practice. Our specialized team tailors the deal to your specifications, based on decades of M&A expertise.
Strategic Guidance for Dental Practice Owners
The step-by-step process includes:
  • 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 and paves the way for a smooth transaction.

Why Work With A Dental Practice Sales Firm?

Research shows practices who have professional representation achieve valuations 10-40% higher than without. After paying the fees for professional representation, the selling dentist(s) keep more of the proceeds than they would on their own. All other important aspects of the post-close period typically materially benefit too.

Someone who speaks the same language as both dentists and buyers is vital here.
The process is managed discreetly to protect staff, patients, and referral relationships.
A dental practice M&A firm helps review price, deal structure, rollover equity, transition terms and post-sale obligations.
Sellers receive support during buyer queries, document review, and closing preparation.

Support for DSO and Group Practice Sales

Dentists looking to sell to a DSO or group practice must take a number of things into account. Our dedicated team helps owners prepare the practice for sale, evaluate buyers and manage negotiations with a deft touch.

 

We have decades of top-quality experience managing dental and medical practice transactions to give you a competitive edge. We understand how buyers think and help you protect the practice you have built.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it is the right time to sell my dental practice?
A valuation will help you understand where your practice stands before starting the sale process. The right time depends on your goals, financial performance, growth opportunities, market demand and market conditions, to name a few.
Can I sell my dental practice and continue working after the sale?

Yes. Many dentists stay involved after closing through an employment agreement, transition role, or equity partnership; some are even required to do so in the deal.

Buyers typically desire 3-5 year stay periods, these can be negotiated and do impact valuation.

Who buys dental practices?
Potential buyers may include individual dentists, dental service organizations (DSOs), private equity-backed dental platforms, regional dental groups and other dental-led organizations. The buyer can depend on your practice size, location, service mix and growth potential.
How long does a dental practice sale take?
The timeline can vary based on preparation time, buyer interest, diligence, negotiations and closing requirements. Most transactions take 6-9 months.
Why should I work with a dental M&A advisor?

An expert dental M&A advisor helps with valuation, buyer targeting, proposal review, negotiation, due diligence and closing support. We help practice owners avoid common mistakes and maximize returns. Owners are typically economically better off (and often significantly so) while their post-deal risk is minimized.
