Frequently Asked Questions

A practice valuation is a formal opinion prepared by a dental broker that gives the current market value of the practice based on a variety of information from the practice.  Some of the documents necessary to assess the value will include financials, practice management reports, facility information, equipment information, staffing information, transition plans, and more. 

Yes, we can conduct your practice valuation and will walk through the entire process with you.  

Understanding the value of your practice will help with retirement planning, selling your practice (all or a portion), planning for the next 5-10 years (or more), and identifying strengths and weaknesses to maximize value when it is time to sell. 

Situations that may require a valuation can range from retirement planning, bringing on an associate, the buy-in of a partner, buy-out of a partner, selling the practice, business planning for the future, estate planning, and more. 

Yes, we can! Dental Strategic has a long history of helping transition practices from one owner to another.  We also help doctors navigate the process for partnerships, such as an Associate buying into a practice.  It will be necessary to get an updated value on the practice prior to putting it on the market. 

We start by helping figure out what type of transition is possible and desired.  Then we market directly to a proprietary database and to various platforms that can amplify those opportunities.  We also network with the Dental Schools, Industry Professionals, and Dentists that want to practice in our footprint. 

We recommend bringing on an Associate if and when you aren’t able to keep up with customer demand and are bringing in enough in collections to comfortably support both you, and an associate, financially. If you want to discuss whether it makes sense to bring on an Associate given your current situation, let’s connect!
