Selling your oral surgery practice is, for most surgeons, a once-in-a-career decision.
Ellis and Associates helps you understand the full breadth and depth of your options and prepare your practice for market, so you can confidently go through the sale process with clarity.
Our firm supports owners through valuation, buyer outreach, negotiations and closing.
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.
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.
The step-by-step process includes the following:
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.
Surgeons looking to sell their oral and maxillofacial surgery practice need to consider life goals, financial goals, referral continuity, and patient care. Our team helps owners prepare the practice for sale, evaluate buyers including surgeon-led platforms, and manage negotiations with a deft touch.
We have decades of top-quality experience managing medical practice transactions to give you a competitive edge. We understand how buyers think and how sellers can squander their opportunity without the right preparation.
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?’
