Buy this technology-forward, 100% fee-for-service practice that enjoys fantastic production and a well-earned reputation for delivering top-quality care.

This 4-operatory solo practice is currently open four days a week – but there’s an 11-week wait for hygiene and a 6-week wait for treatment. Meanwhile, the practice receives 8 to 12 calls per day from new patients moving to the area from New York City. That means there’s demand to expand beyond the practice’s current 2,800 patients (and space to do so).

Looking to run your own solo practice while serving a community that needs a dentist?

If you are mission-driven, this is your chance to step into a fully equipped practice with an eager patient base at minimal cost.

This small two-operatory practice has built a loyal following over 35+ years! The practice has high gross and low overhead on just 21 hours a week. Combine that with nearby dentists on the cusp of retirement and a community that’s quickly adding new subdivisions – and seize the growth potential.

Patient-focused practice in coastal Georgia seeks a buyer who can balance clinically necessary treatment with the restraint and discretion that prioritizes patient needs over upsells.

The family-friendly practice is dedicated to delivering clinically relevant dentistry and hygiene in a relaxed atmosphere, with “no corporate oversight, no sales quotas.” Staff and patients all love this approach, relatively unique in the area.

Rounding the corner into your last year or semester of dental school? If you’re on the job hunt, you’re probably wondering what that first job might look like.

Just like in every other field, you may not find the “perfect” forever job right out of the gate. It often takes a few years of working in a few different scenarios before you can learn what type of practice is right for you.

Some people love a bustling, busy practice with a dozen doctors working side by side, each focused on a couple specific treatments. Others prefer to do a little bit of everything and work solo. There’s no right or wrong – it’s a matter of preference.

As dentists begin their practice transitions, nearly all have the same question on their minds: how long do you think this is going to take?

As an ADA Advisor helping dentists navigate their practice transitions, I talk to many dentists who say they feel “stuck.” When someone says this, I always try to better understand what they mean. Their answers tend to fall into one of a few categories:

• They have been in their current practice for a few years and feel like there’s no room for advancement. The owner isn’t retiring any time soon and doesn’t want to share patients or responsibility.
• They are in a corporate practice and like the stability, but feel burned out.
• They want to buy but aren’t sure how they can afford it, or don’t feel quite ready. (And they know there’s a lot they don’t know.)
