Why start from scratch when 3,000+ active patients are already here?
This well-established Greater Nashville general practice offers something buyers spend years trying to build: scale, patients, cash flow, clinical capacity, and room to grow — already under one roof.
With approximately $1.49 million in 2025 collections, more than 3,000 active patients, a seven-operatory clinical facility, and a broad comprehensive general-dentistry procedure mix, this opportunity provides a strong foundation for an owner-operator looking to step into an established practice rather than build one from the ground up.
And there may be an even better part: the practice currently operates on a four-day office schedule, while management reports that new-patient access has intentionally been limited because of existing schedule constraints and patient demand.
Practice Highlights
The practice’s normalized 2025 Seller Discretionary Earnings was approximately $540,000, with completed-year collections remaining very stable from 2023 through 2025.
Facility & Technology
The existing footprint provides a buyer with the ability to acquire an operating platform rather than taking on the time, expense, and uncertainty of a start-up.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not simply a practice with attractive collections. It has a deep existing patient base and a broad clinical foundation.
Approximately 78% of the practice’s production mix is concentrated in diagnostic, preventive, and restorative dentistry, helping make the clinical model transferable to a comprehensive general dentist. The practice also performs fixed and removable prosthodontics, endodontics, implant restorative procedures, oral surgery, and other services that create additional production depth.
Growth Potential
Here’s where this opportunity gets particularly interesting.
The current analysis identified several areas where a future owner may have additional upside, including:
The fee analysis alone shows that the practice’s current fees average approximately the 43rd percentile across the analyzed procedure set, indicating room for disciplined fee review. Importantly, Dental Strategic would not present the full modeled opportunity as guaranteed revenue; actual improvement depends on insurance allowables, case acceptance, collection capture, staffing and implementation.
Patient Demand Without Chasing Every New Patient
One of the most compelling parts of this opportunity may be what the practice isn’t doing.
Current ownership reports that the office is not broadly accepting unsolicited new patients and has turned away appointment inquiries because current capacity is constrained.
In other words, the next owner may not have to begin by asking:
“How do I find more patients?”
The better question may be:
“How do I create enough capacity to serve the demand that’s already here?”
That’s a much better ownership problem to inherit.
Clinical Opportunity
The procedure mix supports a buyer who enjoys comprehensive general dentistry.

The underlying procedure analysis includes thousands of recurring diagnostic and preventive procedures along with meaningful restorative volume, including more than 3,800 periodic exams, 3,600 adult prophylaxis procedures, 1,600+ four-bitewing series and substantial crown and composite activity in the analyzed period.
Team & Transition
An established operating team, clinical systems, patient relationships, billing processes, insurance workflows and practice-management infrastructure are already in place.
Transition and individual employee-retention arrangements should be confirmed during buyer due diligence, but this is an operating practice with the organizational infrastructure necessary to support a successor rather than an empty facility requiring a buyer to recruit an entire team before opening the doors.
Ideal Fit For…
This opportunity should be particularly attractive to:
Greater Nashville Opportunity
The broader Nashville market provides a large, diversified employment base and continued economic activity, supporting an established patient population and a meaningful pool of potential dental-practice buyers.
A Practice You Can Buy — Not One You Have to Build
Starting a dental practice can mean finding real estate, negotiating a lease, building operatories, buying equipment, recruiting a team, credentialing with insurance companies, marketing to patients and then waiting for the schedule to fill.
Or you can start with seven fully equipped operatories, space for an eighth, and more than 3,000 active patients.
This Greater Nashville opportunity gives the right buyer a chance to acquire an established practice with nearly $1.5 million in annual collections, meaningful normalized owner cash flow, an established patient base and several identifiable avenues for future growth.
Some assembly required? Not much.
