ADA Practice Transitions makes the process of entering and leaving a practice more predictable and successful by providing guidance and connections based on philosophy of care.

How it works

By popular demand, we have expanded to additional states! We are now available to general dentists who either own a practice or want to work in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Watch the video to understand how ADA Practice Transitions can help you.

Match

We assess all your attributes and those of fellow dentists until we find the right person – one who shares your philosophy and goals.

Pricing

Every practice transition is unique – and takes time and effort. ADA Practice Transitions helps you find the right match while taking the uncertainty out of the process.

Now, you can create a profile for free!

The service is open to everyone; however, ADA members benefit from preferred pricing that can save a significant amount of money compared to many of the options currently available. Click for more information about ADA Practice Transitions pricing.

Testimonials

"I appreciate that this approach is much more in-depth, and goes beyond just listing practices and completing a sale. It seems like dentists will feel much more satisfied passing on their legacy to someone that may be akin to them. It's also a win for the patients."

Member Dentist

“This is the BEST program to come along in years at the ADA.”

Member Dentist

"This is exactly what I’m looking for. All of it…The personality assessments would be valuable to know beforehand because people are not quite the same sometimes. They put on a good face initially and then you really don’t know what their personality is like until later on in the game.”

FAQ

I am not an ADA member, can I use the service?

> <

Yes, every dentist has an ADA number which is needed to create your account. Please call the member service center at 800.232.6118 or email mscpassword@ada.org to find yours!

I don't own a practice or want to practice in any state where the service is available. Can I participate?

> <

Unfortunately, not at this time. However, we plan on expanding this service to additional states in 2020.

Please fill out our online interest form and we will keep your email on file. As we expand our service to other states, we will be sure to keep you informed.

When will I be matched?

> <

You will be eligible for matching after you have submitted your profile and your ADA Advisor has reviewed and approved it. The speed at which a match will occur is dependent on the number of participants on the platform who fit your criteria. Your ADA Advisor will work with you throughout the process and send relevant content to help you prepare for the match while they search for recommended candidates.

Is this service confidential?

> <

Yes, confidentiality is an important part of the service and we have taken that into account when creating the platform. Your information will be kept private and only shared with your ADA Advisor until you and your recommended candidate decide to move forward with the interview process. At that time, your information will only be shared with your matched candidate so you two can begin communicating. Your ADA Advisor will be there every step of the way to ensure you are comfortable with the process and also provide guidance and worksheets around how to communicate with your staff during the transition.
