Why You Need a Dental Broker
Dental practices and multi-clinic groups do not always sell like standard commercial businesses. A buyer is not always just pricing your production collections. In most cases, they are pricing your active patient chart count, fee-for-service vs. PPO insurance contract mix, Associate Dentist employment retention covenants, and operatory utilization capacity. A generalist broker can list a practice. A dental M&A advisor knows how to position one. That difference shows up in the offers you receive and the terms you are able to negotiate.
Here are some solid reasons why you should consider working with a specialized dental practices and DSOs broker:
- Broad Buyer Network: We connect you with premier Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) and private equity dental buyers.
- Strict Confidentiality: We protect your sale with airtight NDAs so employees, clients, and competitors never find out.
- Clear Financial Recasting: We normalize your earnings and owner add-backs so buyers see your company's true cash flow.
- Streamlined Due Diligence: We make diligence effortless using our secure digital deal rooms and automated document tools.
- Smooth Deal Transition: We help transfer dentist retention covenants and imaging equipment assets for a smooth closing.
When selling a business in this sector requires specialized M&A support, our M&A advisors bring the expertise needed to structure deals, navigate diligence, and maximize value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental practices typically sell for 5.0x to 9.5x+ EBITDA (or 70% to 120%+ of gross collections), with higher multiples paid to multi-location groups, specialty surgical practices, and practices with high hygiene recall revenue.
The DSO acquires non-clinical administrative assets and provides management services under a Management Services Agreement (MSA), while licensed dentists retain clinical ownership in compliance with state dental boards.
Acquirers offer competitive production compensation (typically 30% to 35% of collections), equity rollover opportunities, and clinical autonomy to ensure smooth staff retention.
Clinical real estate can be purchased alongside the practice at fair market value, or retained by the selling dentist under a long-term commercial lease to generate steady rental income.
Most DSO buyers prefer the selling dentist to continue practicing clinical dentistry for 1 to 3 years post-closing, though management-only transitions are common for multi-associate clinics.
