Most Dentists Don't Lose
When They Buy — They Lose After.

Two practices can show identical collections and completely different outcomes. The one that drains you looks just like the one that pays you — on the surface.

  • ⚠️
    Trusting the Broker's Numbers

    A listing pro forma is a marketing document. It won't show you production per provider hour, seller dependence, or patient attrition risk.

  • ⚠️
    Asking a CPA or Lender to "Look It Over"

    Lenders underwrite loans. CPAs verify taxes. Neither is running a 100-point dental-specific acquisition scorecard.

  • ⚠️
    Going With Your Gut on Location

    Emotional attachment is how dentists overpay, inherit hidden risks, and watch collections drop 20–30% in the first 90 days.

  • ⚠️
    No Plan for the First 90 Days

    Without a written integration strategy, staff leave, patients don't rebook, and insurance credentialing quietly collapses.

20–30%

Average collections drop in the first 90 days for practices acquired without a structured transition plan.

The Acquisition
Approval Plan

A proprietary two-part system — dental-specific underwriting plus a pre-built integration blueprint — so you know the deal is right before you sign and have a plan the moment you take over.

01
Five-Category Scorecard

We Break Down Every Deal Across What Actually Matters

Every practice runs through a 100-point dental-specific scorecard across: Financial Health (30 pts), Production & Capacity (25 pts), Payer & Revenue Quality (20 pts), People & Operations (15 pts), and Demand & Marketing (10 pts). Every metric is graded Green / Yellow / Red against real deal benchmarks — not generic small-business rules of thumb.

02
Buyer-Fit Analysis

We Evaluate Whether It Works for You Specifically

A practice that works for the current owner doesn't automatically work for you. We pressure-test every deal against your production style, schedule, and payer experience. Then we give you a clear GO / RENEGOTIATE / WALK verdict — no hedging, no fence-sitting.

03
90-Day Integration Blueprint

You Walk In Day One With a Complete Plan

Before you ever close, we build your full transition playbook — staff communication sequence, patient retention strategy, insurance credentialing plan, fee schedule review, and monthly Owner Scorecards. No guessing. No scrambling. No income drop.

🛡️

Our Three-Part Guarantee

If you don't believe our work was worth the fee — tell us, and we'll credit 100% of what you paid.
If you don't have dramatically more clarity on the acquisition process — same credit.
If we don't give you a clear GO / RENEGOTIATE / WALK decision on your practice — same credit. Zero risk to you.

What We Evaluate —
And Why It Changes Everything

We make the invisible visible. Most buyers don't know what they don't know. Our scorecard surfaces structural risks before they become your problem.

Buy-Side Only. Zero Commissions. We don't get paid by sellers, brokers, or lenders. No kickbacks. We make money only when you end up in the right practice. Many of our biggest wins are deals our clients did not do.

Every Risk Scan ends with one of three clear verdicts:

✓ Go

The practice aligns with your profile, the numbers hold, and the risks are manageable. Here's how to close and transition correctly.

⟳ Renegotiate

The deal has merit but the current structure doesn't work. Here's exactly what to adjust — on price, terms, or conditions — before you sign.

✕ Walk Away

The practice has structural flaws that would quietly drain your income. We'll tell you clearly — even if you've already fallen in love with the deal.

We Serve Dentists Who Are
Serious About Ownership

We are a buy-side advisory firm for dental practice acquisitions in the $600K–$2.5M deal range. We only work with dentists committed to doing this right.

Avatar A

The First-Time Buyer

Associate dentists 3–10 years out of school ready to make the leap to ownership — without making a $500K mistake on their first deal.

  • Actively pursuing your first practice
  • Practice revenue target: $800K–$3M
  • Ready to acquire within 2–12 months
  • Committed to a real, structured process
Avatar B

The Expanding Owner

Existing practice owners acquiring a second or third location — who know from experience how much can go wrong and refuse to wing it again.

  • Looking to add a location strategically
  • Want a system, not a gut call
  • Deal size: $600K–$2.5M
  • Geography: United States

We do NOT work with:

Window shoppers · Buyers unwilling to share full financials · Those seeking emotional validation on a deal they've already committed to · DIY buyers wanting a quick "yes/no" without process · Anyone looking for the cheapest opinion

We've Already Done
What We're Promising You

"We helped a buyer avoid a practice that appeared profitable but had unsustainable real estate terms — preventing long-term financial strain."

Risk Avoided

"We identified a practice heavily dependent on a single key employee, allowing the buyer to address the risk before moving forward."

Risk Surfaced Pre-Close

"We supported multiple ownership transitions where production and operations remained stable during the first 90–120 days."

Stable Post-Close Collections

"We helped an owner avoid opening a second location that would have reduced overall profitability, restructuring their existing practice to increase income instead."

Saved From Bad Expansion

"We helped practices improve collections and operational efficiency, turning underperforming offices into more profitable operations."

Profitability Improved

"Our founder has direct experience acquiring, operating, and exiting dental practices — real-world insight from both the buyer and seller side."
