Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about selling a dental practice.

For Sellers

The value of a dental practice depends on factors such as profitability, patient retention, location, provider mix, and future growth potential. Buyers evaluate both financial performance and operational strength when determining value. A professional valuation provides the clearest picture of what your practice could command in today’s market and helps identify opportunities to increase value before a sale
Most dental practice sales take between six and twelve months from initial valuation to closing. The timeline can vary depending on market conditions, buyer financing, due diligence, and the complexity of the transaction. Proper preparation and experienced guidance can help streamline the process and avoid unnecessary delays.
The best option depends on your personal and financial goals. Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) may offer larger platforms and structured transitions, while private buyers often provide more flexibility and maintain the existing culture of the practice. Evaluating both options allows sellers to choose the path that aligns best with their future plans.
Practices with strong profitability, consistent patient growth, modern technology, efficient operations, and a healthy hygiene department typically command higher valuations. Accurate financial reporting, strong staff retention, and documented growth trends can also increase buyer confidence and improve marketability.
Yes. Many dentists continue practicing after the sale of their office. Depending on the transaction structure, sellers may remain as associates for a defined transition period, helping maintain continuity for patients and staff while gradually reducing their responsibilities.
Selling a dental practice involves valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiations, due diligence, and closing coordination. A dental practice broker helps manage every stage of the transaction while protecting your interests, maintaining confidentiality, and maximizing the value of your practice.

For Buyers

The process typically begins with identifying a practice that aligns with your goals, reviewing financials, obtaining financing, conducting due diligence, and negotiating terms. Working with experienced advisors can help simplify the acquisition process and ensure informed decision-making at every stage.
The amount required depends on the size, location, and profitability of the practice. Many lenders offer financing solutions specifically designed for dentists, allowing qualified buyers to purchase a practice with limited upfront capital. A financial review can help determine your purchasing power and financing options.
Most dental practice acquisitions are financed through banks that specialize in healthcare lending. These lenders understand the dental industry and often provide competitive financing options for qualified buyers. Financing terms are typically based on cash flow, practice performance, and the buyer’s financial profile.
Buyers should evaluate financial performance, active patient count, hygiene production, staff stability, technology, location, and growth potential. Understanding the strengths and risks of a practice before making an offer is critical to a successful acquisition.
An existing practice offers immediate patient flow, revenue, and operational systems, while a startup provides greater flexibility and customization. Many dentists choose acquisition because it allows them to generate income immediately and build upon an established patient base.
Yes. We help buyers identify opportunities that match their clinical goals, financial objectives, and preferred locations. Our team provides guidance throughout the acquisition process, from initial search and valuation review to negotiations, due diligence, and closing.
