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
How does exclusive buyer representation benefit me during practice acquisition?
When we represent only buyers, every strategy we employ serves your interests alone—no divided loyalties or hidden seller arrangements. This means aggressive negotiation on your behalf and honest practice analysis of true market value. Traditional brokers must balance competing interests, often at your expense. Our buyer-only approach has saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through better purchase terms.
What types of dental practices do you help acquire?
Our dental consultant services cover all practice types and specialties, from high-volume general practices to specialized boutique operations. We work throughout the western United States, helping match your clinical interests with available opportunities. Whether you prefer urban multi-location groups or rural single-doctor practices, we identify options that align with your professional goals. Our extensive network includes everything from startup opportunities to established dental practices with decades of patient loyalty.
How do you provide access to practices not publicly listed?
Our relationships with practice owners, attorneys, and industry professionals create a pipeline of opportunities others never see. Many sellers prefer discrete transactions to avoid staff turnover and patient concerns that public listings create. We’ve cultivated these relationships over decades, earning trust that gives our clients first access to exceptional opportunities. This hidden market often provides better values because you’re not competing with multiple buyers.
What makes your post-purchase coaching different from other dental consulting companies?
While most dental consultants disappear after closing, we implement comprehensive systems that optimize your dental business performance. Our coaching covers everything from staff integration and operational efficiency to profitability enhancement and growth strategies. We help you develop your practice’s mission, vision, and values while providing accountability systems. This ongoing partnership typically results in record revenue years and sustainable long-term success.
Do you help with financing and professional connections for practice purchases?
Our vetted network includes financing partners who offer 100% practice acquisition loans with no down payment requirements for qualified buyers. We also connect you with specialized attorneys, CPAs, marketing experts, and HR professionals who understand dental practices specifically. These aren’t random referrals—each professional has proven success with our clients and understands the unique challenges of dental business ownership. This comprehensive support system eliminates guesswork and reduces acquisition risks.
