Practice Transition
A dedicated Transition Coach guides new owners through learning systems and operations, team management, and all aspects of practice ownership. This addresses the challenge of becoming “The Boss” while maintaining staff morale and operational efficiency. We provide comprehensive training on practice management, leadership skills, and operational optimization. This hands-on support ensures you feel confident and prepared for every aspect of practice ownership.
Planning Session
When buying a dental practice, the process begins with establishing your philosophy, vision, mission, goals, and dream practice through a meeting with a practice buyer liaison. This foundational step creates your action plan and connects you with an elite team of coaches who will guide you throughout your career. We identify your specific criteria, including location preferences, practice size, specialty focus, and financial parameters. This comprehensive planning ensures we focus only on opportunities that align with your personal and professional objectives.
Practice Identification
Our team helps search in your desired area for a practice that fits all criteria collected in your planning session, using a proven process for reaching out to potential sellers. We utilize our extensive network and market knowledge to identify practices that match your requirements, including off-market opportunities. Legal support is provided for creating letters of intent once suitable practices are identified. This systematic approach ensures you see only qualified opportunities that meet your specific needs.
Financing Solutions
The service removes guesswork from finding the right lender, ensuring you get the best rates and terms possible for your practice acquisition. We handle all lender communication and assist with document submission to streamline the financing process. Our established relationships with dental-specific lenders provide access to competitive rates and favorable terms. This comprehensive financing support eliminates the confusion and delays often associated with practice acquisition loans.
Due Diligence
A comprehensive business evaluation and books and records check identifies strengths, weaknesses, and growth areas to determine if the practice is a good and safe investment. This critical step includes analyzing financial performance, patient retention, equipment conditions, and operational efficiency. We examine compliance status, legal obligations, and potential risks that could affect your investment. Armed with this thorough analysis, you make informed decisions and negotiate terms that reflect true practice value.
Marketing Preparation
We help create your story brand, new website, and online presence that will be ready to launch after buying a dental practice. This preparation ensures seamless patient communication and maintains practice visibility during the transition period. We develop marketing materials, social media strategies, and community outreach plans tailored to your new patient base. This proactive approach prevents the marketing gaps that often occur during ownership transitions.
Insurance Management
Credentialing and insurance negotiation coaches help get credentialed with needed providers while securing the best fees possible for your practice. We handle the complex credentialing process and negotiate favorable fee schedules that maximize your revenue potential. Our team also provides future renegotiation services to ensure your contracts remain competitive over time. This comprehensive insurance management protects your revenue and ensures smooth claims processing from day one.
Value Addition and Revenue Protection
Simple value-added services are introduced to bring immediate revenue growth, preventing the typical 10% monthly revenue loss that new dentists experience during transitions. We identify opportunities within your existing patient base for expanded services and increased production. Ongoing support through membership programs ensures continued growth and operational improvement. This final step protects your investment while positioning your practice for long-term success and profitability.
Our Proven Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Planning Session
We know the thought of practice ownership can be scary, which is why the first step will be to meet with your practice buyer Liasion to help you figure out what your dream practice looks like. Once we have established your Philosophy, vision, mission, goals, and dream we will create your plan of action. In this step, we will also surround you with the industry’s most elite team of coaches that will personally walk you through every stage of your career. From planning to own to increasing revenue in your existing practice. From this point on, you will never feel alone.
Step 2: Identifying Practice
We will help you search in your desired area for a practice that fits all of the criteria that we collected in Step 1. We have a proven process that will give you success in reaching out to potential sellers. Once finding the practice, our attorneys will assist in the creation of a letter of intent.
Step 3: Practice Financing
We will take away the guesswork of finding the right lender. Ensuring you get the best rates and terms possible. Once in the lending process we handle all communication with the lender and assist with the submission of all required documents to make for a smooth and easy process.
Step 4: Due Diligence
This is an extremely important step. Our due diligence coach will perform a comprehensive business evaluation as well as a books and records check which will be used as a guide to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas of growth which will show whether the practice is a good and safe investment.
Step 5: Marketing
Using the information given in Step 1, you will meet with our industry-leading marketing coach. They will help you create your story brand as well as a new website and online presence that will be ready to launch as soon as you officially take ownership.
Step 6: Insurance
Do you enjoy dealing with insurance companies? Neither do we! Thankfully we have the best credentialing and insurance negotiation coach! They will help you get credentialed with all of the providers that you need while making sure you get the best fees. Then in a few years, they will come back and renegotiate those fees for you.
Step 7: Transition
We know how scary it can be to take over a practice and become “The Boss”. This is why you will be paired with an elite Transition Coach. Your transition coach will be with you every step of the way, helping you with learning the systems and operations of the practice, teaching you how to manage your team, and making sure you feel comfortable with every aspect of practice ownership.
Step 8: Adding Value
Typically in a practice transition (without the right coaches), a new dentist will lose 10% of monthly revenue. This is why we have this step! We will introduce you to simple value-added services to implement into your practice that will bring immediate growth in revenue and take you from a potential loss to a record-breaking month. To ensure that you are constantly growing we will enroll you into our membership program providing ongoing support and giving you access to all recorded and live trainings.

FAQs
What makes buying an existing practice better than starting from scratch?
Buying a dental practice provides immediate access to an established patient base, proven revenue streams, and operational systems that eliminate startup uncertainties. You inherit years of relationship building, community reputation, and referral networks that new practices spend years developing. The existing infrastructure, trained staff, and established protocols create immediate efficiency and profitability that startup practices cannot match.
How long does the typical practice acquisition process take?
The timeline for buying a dental practice varies based on financing requirements, due diligence complexity, and negotiation factors, but typically ranges from three to nine months. Our structured process streamlines each phase while ensuring thorough evaluation and preparation. Factors including seller motivation, practice complexity, and financing arrangements influence the overall timeline, but our systematic approach prevents unnecessary delays.
What type of due diligence is necessary when purchasing a dental practice?
Comprehensive due diligence includes financial analysis, patient retention evaluation, equipment assessment, compliance review, and growth potential analysis. We examine revenue trends, accounts receivable aging, overhead expenses, and profitability patterns to determine practice value. The process for buying a dental practice also includes reviewing staff contracts, lease agreements, insurance relationships, and regulatory compliance status to identify potential risks or opportunities.
How do I determine if a practice is priced fairly?
Fair practice valuation requires analysis of multiple factors including revenue multiples, asset values, patient retention rates, and growth potential. Our valuation expert team compares practice performance against industry benchmarks while considering location factors, competition, and market conditions. We evaluate both tangible assets and intangible values such as reputation, patient loyalty, and growth opportunities to ensure fair pricing.
What ongoing support is available after practice acquisition?
Support after buying a dental practice includes transition coaching, marketing development, insurance optimization, and revenue growth strategies through our membership programs. We provide continued guidance on operations management, team leadership, and practice expansion opportunities. Regular performance reviews, strategic planning sessions, and access to professional networks ensure your practice continues to meet its growth objectives and career goals.
