Operating a private dental practice, specialty orthodontic/periodontic clinic, or multi-location Dental Support Organization (DSO) means managing licensed Dentists (DDS/DMD), registered dental hygienists, CBCT 3D digital imaging systems, insurance PPO fee-schedule reimbursements, and state dental board compliance. You run a high-margin clinical practice built on patient trust and hygiene recall recurring visits. Private equity and national DSOs aggressively acquire dental practices to achieve operational scale and negotiate higher commercial insurance reimbursement rates. Buyers evaluate your active patient count (1,500+ per dentist), hygiene recurring revenue percentage (>35%), associate dentist retention, and operatory chair utilization. At Aria Business Advisors, we articulate your hygiene cash flow and clinical margins to secure top-tier valuation multiples from national DSOs.
