This practice is ideal for a dentist with 5 or more years of experience after dental school — someone interested in helping people by providing high-end dental services. As owner, you’ll make a good income without running from room to room. This niche practice has not accepted general dentistry patients and lacks a hygiene department. Additionally, all surgeries, implant placements, and endodontics cases are currently referred out. That gives the buyer options: you can continue to focus on the niche part of the practice, bring additional services in house, or build a high-end general dental practice that surrounds the TMD/TMJ specialty. Choose whatever suits your interests! Either way, the extremely knowledgeable clinical assistant who has been with the practice for more than 20 years will be by your side, ready to help the practice succeed.
This unique practice is 100% fee for service, meaning that dental insurance discounting trends have no effect on the bottom line. The seller says, “This is a lane with little competition.”
He explains, “For the right person, who wants to learn beyond the basics of dentistry, this would be a great fit. I am in excellent health and financially could retire any time. But I continue to practice because I love to solve problems for people. Over 25 years ago, I was drawn to treating complex TMD cases of supposedly unsolvable problems. As such I have taken a vast amount of training and made innovations as well to build a practice that is unique in helping people and has earned a national reputation. I served as a full mouth reconstruction clinical instructor at Las Vegas Institute for 12 years. If a dentist wants to learn smile design, adhesive dentistry, functional orthodontics, TMD/CCMD treatment at the highest competency levels, Full Mouth Reconstruction, Dental Sleep Medicine, I can be a resource. I wish to pass on this to an interested young dentist so that the practice continues to help patients for years to come.”
The seller loves teaching and mentoring and would happily support the buyer’s learning and transition. He says, “I am happy to stay on as long as the new owner needs to learn the technical and communication aspects of this unique practice to make the transition. My time horizon is 5 years, if the new dentist wants me to stay, teach and mentor.”
