Plan your successful future with a strictly confidential, no-obligation consultation. Our hands-on process helps you sell quickly and for the highest price.
Navigating the complex process of selling your practice can make you feel like a first-year dental student again. The first step is understanding what you're working with.
A clear picture of your practice's market value gives you confidence in every conversation that follows — whether you're selling in six months or planning three years out. Our free calculator uses real data from 574+ practice sales to give you that starting point.
Most dental practices sell for 60–80% of annual collections. But the actual number depends on these key factors — each one matters, and our free calculator analyzes them all.
The starting point for any dental practice valuation. Higher collections generally mean higher value, but profitability matters more than top-line revenue.
Practices with lower overhead command premium multiples. Buyers care about what they'll take home, not just what you collect.
Fee-for-service practices consistently sell for higher multiples. A strong FFS percentage signals pricing power and loyal patients.
Markets vary dramatically. Urban and suburban practices in growing areas attract more buyer interest and higher offers.
Modern equipment and well-maintained facilities reduce what buyers invest upfront, making your practice more attractive.
Long-tenured staff and strong hygiene production signal stability. Buyers pay more when the team stays and patients return.
Whether you're ready now or planning 1–3 years out, the path starts with understanding your value and connecting with an expert.
