Buying a Dental Practice: The 8-Step Coaching Process
Step 1: Vision & Planning Session
We begin by learning about your dream practice—where you want to live, how you want to work, and what legacy you want to build. Together, we establish your vision, mission, goals, and personal philosophy. From there, we create a tailored comprehensive action plan and introduce you to your dedicated team of coaches. You’ll never feel alone in this journey.
Step 2: Identifying the Right Practice
We help you locate practices in your ideal area that align with your vision. With our proven outreach strategy, we’ll guide you in contacting potential sellers. Once a match is found, our legal team assists with crafting your Letter of Intent (LOI).
Step 3: Practice Financing
We eliminate the guesswork in securing funding by connecting you with lenders who offer the best rates and terms. We handle communication and documentation on your behalf to ensure a smooth, stress-free lending process.
Step 4: Due Diligence & Business Evaluation
Your due diligence coach conducts a comprehensive business analysis, including financial review and operational health. This ensures you understand the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of the practice before you invest.
Step 5: Branding & Marketing Setup
Before ownership begins, you’ll work with a top-tier marketing coach to build your personal brand. This includes developing your story, creating your new website, and establishing your online presence—all ready to launch the day you take over.
Step 6: Insurance Credentialing
Navigating insurance doesn’t have to be painful. Our credentialing coach ensures you’re signed up with the right providers and negotiates optimal fees. We’ll even revisit this in a few years to re-negotiate for better rates.
Step 7: Smooth Transition Support
Taking over a practice can feel overwhelming. That’s why you’ll work with a transition coach to learn systems, manage your new team, and gain confidence in your leadership. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
Step 8: Adding Value & Growing Revenue
Most new practice owners lose 10% of monthly revenue. We flip the script. You’ll be introduced to simple, high-impact value-add services that generate immediate growth. You’ll also be enrolled in our ongoing coaching membership for continued support and access to trainings.

FAQs
Why would I need a dental coach instead of handling the purchase myself?
Buying a dental practice involves complex financial analysis, legal considerations, and practice management strategies that most dentists haven’t learned in dental school. A dental coach provides the business education and leadership skills you need to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes. Our coaching dental approach gives you confidence and clarity throughout the entire process, from initial evaluation to long-term financial success.
How do you help me identify the right practice for my goals?
We start by evaluating your qualifications, location preferences, and practice style to create a personalized action plan for your search. Our dental coaching process includes detailed practice assessments that examine everything from patient satisfaction levels to growth potential. We match you with opportunities that align with your vision rather than just showing you what’s available on the market.
What happens if I encounter problems after purchasing my practice?
Our dental coach relationship continues beyond the purchase with ongoing practice management support during your critical first years of ownership. We help you develop leadership skills, optimize operations, and implement systems that drive patient satisfaction and profitability. This continued coaching dental guidance helps you navigate challenges and achieve financial success faster than trying to figure everything out alone.
Can you help me find practices that aren't advertised publicly?
Yes, our established relationships with practice owners and industry professionals give us access to opportunities before they reach the public market. Many practice owners prefer discrete sales to avoid disrupting their staff and patients, so they work with trusted advisors like us first. This means you often become the only buyer considering these practices, which strengthens your negotiating position significantly.
What makes your approach different from other dental consulting services?
We focus exclusively on buyers rather than representing sellers, which eliminates conflicts of interest in our recommendations. Our dental coach methodology combines practice acquisition guidance with ongoing business education and practice management support. Unlike consultants who disappear after the sale, we remain your partners through the transition period to ensure your long-term success and financial growth.
