You Want to Sell Your Dental Practice- Now What?

Selling a dental practice is a multifaceted process that requires careful planning and strategy. One of the most critical steps in this journey is selecting the right dental practice brokerage. At this stage, you’re not only making a decision about who will help sell your practice but also determining the future of the business, your staff, and the patients you’ve cared for over the years. A qualified brokerage like Triumphant Transition Partners will ensure that every element of the sale is handled with care, professionalism, and a focus on your long-term success.

Choosing the right brokerage matters because not all Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) and Dental Practice Organizations (DPOs) are created equal. Each one has its unique approach, culture, and financial structures, and understanding which one aligns with your practice’s values and long-term goals is crucial. The wrong choice could lead to a misalignment of values, challenges in the transition process, or even reduced financial returns. That’s why a detailed evaluation of potential buyers, coupled with a thorough understanding of your practice’s worth, is essential to ensuring a smooth and successful sale. A comprehensive sale isn’t just about securing a buyer—it involves maximizing the value of your dental practice’s assets, including your dental equipment, patient records, financial assets, and the goodwill you’ve built over the years. This is where the expertise of a dedicated brokerage comes into play. Triumphant Transition Partners excels in conducting thorough valuations, leveraging industry insights to negotiate favorable terms, and ensuring that the transition is seamless for both you and the buyer.

By partnering with a specialized dental practice brokerage like TTP, you’re ensuring that your practice’s true value is recognized and that the process is as smooth as possible. From understanding the market to negotiating the best deal, the right brokerage can make all the difference in maximizing your return and safeguarding the legacy of your dental practice.

Equipment Appraisal and Financial Analysis Prior to Sale of Your Dental Practice:

Our expert team specializes in comprehensive dental practice equipment appraisal and financial analysis. We understand that when selling your dental practice, dental equipment represents a substantial portion of its overall value. By conducting a thorough assessment, we provide an accurate valuation to ensure you receive the full worth of your assets during the selling process. Proper valuation is a critical step in successfully selling a dental practice, ensuring that you are well-prepared for negotiations with potential buyers and securing the best possible outcome.

Effective negotiation is at the heart of any successful dental practice sale. Our seasoned professionals excel in negotiation strategies, working tirelessly to secure the best terms and value for your practice. Additionally, we can assist you in exploring various financing options, ensuring that you have a range of choices available to you as you embark on this important transition.

Facilitating Successful Dental Office Sales

An experienced dental office broker can do more than just secure a substantial sale; they excel in identifying the perfect match for your dental practice’s specific requirements and company culture. These meticulous considerations are pivotal in determining the success of your practice transition. It’s crucial to remember that when selling a dental practice to a prominent dental group, a post-sale partnership typically extends for the duration of the agreed-upon contract. Thus, the importance of securing a seamless fit cannot be overstated.

Our seasoned brokerage team specializes in guiding you through selling your dental practice, recognizing that the right partner extends beyond monetary gains. We delve deep into the core of your dental practice, encompassing factors like patient demographics, treatment philosophies, and team dynamics, to identify an entity that seamlessly integrates with your vision. This comprehensive approach ensures that the sale not only maximizes your practice’s value but also safeguards its legacy and fosters long-term success.

With our dedicated brokerage services, you can trust that we will work diligently to connect you with an entity that aligns perfectly with your practice’s unique identity. Your future partner will not only honor your legacy but also contribute to its growth, creating a mutually beneficial alliance that transcends the financial transaction alone.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELLING A DENTAL PRACTICE TO A DSO or DPO

DSO & DPO due diligence is critical. There are countless DSO/DPOs & Dental Office Brokers to choose from, and each is unique – selecting the perfect one for your practice is very important. Partnering with the best dental practice brokerage is essential.

Pros and Cons of Selling Your Dental Practice

Deciding to sell your dental practice can be a demanding choice. At Triumphant Transition Partners, we take the time to sit down and discuss your needs and understand your sale goals. This allows us to determine the best route forward and custom-tailor your sales transition strategy. We have experience in selling to doc-to-doc, Private Equity, and with all the organized dental groups. Our team is fully equipped to guide you through every step of the way.

How Much Control Do I Have Over the Sale?

When looking to sell your dental practice, this is often an overlooked and extremely vital aspect of any successful transition. You will be expected to share some or all the control within your practice. Letting us negotiate the precise deal terms to protect you is essential, and we remove all the hidden terms that can be in a contract agreement.

What If I Own My Real Estate?

This is often overlooked and very important in recommending the best DSO/DPO for your transition. Here at TTP, we have a team of licensed and experienced Commercial Real Estate agents that will discuss the best fit when deciding to transition your building or negotiating the lease terms with your new partner. This aspect is critical in maximizing the return on your commercial space now or selling to an investor in the future.

How Is My Practice Valued?

Here at Triumphant, we have certified healthcare public accountants on our team to maximize the value of your practice. During our intake and discovery, we will partner with your team and review all your financial documents to secure that you receive the highest valuation possible. This is done through a process where we build up your EBITDA. Your EBITDA and our carefully crafted metrics formula ensure we get you the highest VALUE.

Consider Your Post-Sale Role

What happens after you sell your dental practice? The decision regarding your post-sale role is crucial and largely depends on your personal and professional goals. When selling a dental practice, many practitioners opt to remain involved during or after the transition period to ensure a smooth handover and maintain continuity for patients and staff. This involvement can range from a short-term advisory role to a longer-term operational position, depending on your preferences.

Options for Post-Sale Involvement:

  • Short-Term Transition Period: Some dental practitioners choose to stay on for a few months to help transition the practice to the new owner. This period allows you to introduce the new management to your patients, staff, and the operational procedures of your dental practice. Staying on briefly after selling can significantly reduce disruption and help maintain patient loyalty.
  • Long-Term Engagement: For those who wish to remain active in their dental practice, negotiating a long-term role post-sale can be beneficial. This could involve continuing as a dentist within the practice, taking on a managerial role, or acting as a consultant to ensure the continued success of the practice under new ownership.
  • Complete Exit: Alternatively, some dental practitioners may prefer a complete exit from the dental practice post-sale. This option is ideal for those looking to retire, relocate, or pursue other opportunities. Our team will work to secure the best terms that support a seamless and satisfying departure from your dental practice.

Tailoring Your Post-Sale Role:

At Triumphant Transition Partners, we understand that every dental practice sale is unique, as are the goals of each practitioner. Our team will work closely with you to understand your objectives and design a post-sale role that aligns with your desires. Whether you want to remain active in the practice or exit entirely, we ensure you get the terms you want, protecting your interests throughout the selling process.

Key Considerations:

  • Contractual Terms: We help you negotiate the precise terms of your post-sale involvement, whether you want to continue working or make a full exit. Clear terms help avoid misunderstandings and ensure you are satisfied with your role post-sale.
  • Transition Support: Our team offers full support during the transition phase, ensuring both you and the new owners are prepared for a smooth handover. This includes providing training for the new team and preparing detailed handover documentation.
  • Patient and Staff Communication: We assist with communicating the transition to patients and staff, ensuring they are comfortable with the new management. This helps preserve the goodwill of your dental practice throughout the transition.

Achieving Your Desired Outcome:

No matter your post-sale goals, Triumphant Transition Partners is committed to providing a tailored approach that meets your specific needs. Our expertise in selling dental practices ensures that you achieve a favorable outcome, whether you seek continued involvement or a complete transition away from the practice. With our support, you can confidently navigate this important phase, knowing that both your future and the future of your dental practice are in capable hands.

Ready to Hire Experienced Dental Practice Brokers? Find Someone That Cares About You.

You are, of course, not expected to know everything about the process of selling a dental practice – but dental brokers are. The industry landscape is changing daily, and it is our job and passion to stay up to date with it all. We see this as a true partnership, and picking the right partner can mean the difference between a successful transition and a poor one. Our team truly cares about you and your dental practice and is committed to providing the best transition experience possible.

What is a Dental DSO or Dental DPO?

A Dental Partnership Organization (DPO) contracts with dental practices and dental groups to provide non-clinical operations support and core business management services, helping dentists focus on patient care. In many states, laws require that dentists own and operate their dental practices. However, by partnering with a Dental Support Organization (DSO) or DPO, dentists can delegate the operational and administrative aspects of running their practice. This arrangement enables dentists to dedicate more time to dentistry while leaving the business operations in the hands of experts.

For many dental practice owners, selling a portion or all of their practice to a DSO or DPO presents an opportunity to improve work-life balance, increase profitability, and streamline operations. These organizations manage tasks such as billing, staffing, compliance, and marketing, ensuring that the practice runs efficiently while maintaining high standards of patient care. Selling part of your practice to the right DSO/DPO can free up time, allowing you to focus on what you love—practicing dentistry—while still benefiting from a stable, profitable business.

DSO/DPOs are sometimes referred to as dental management service organizations or organized dental groups, but they offer far more than simple corporate management. By providing comprehensive support, they allow dentists to enhance their dental practice while alleviating the burdens of day-to-day administrative tasks. This partnership structure can enable dental groups to grow, boost their revenue, and secure a sustainable future for their dental practice.

Initially, many dentists hesitate to relinquish control over their practice’s operations. However, at Triumphant Transition Partners, we’ve seen firsthand how partnering with the right DSO or DPO can transform a dentist’s career. The challenge lies in finding the RIGHT fit for your unique practice. With over 4,000 DSOs and DPOs in the United States, finding the ideal match for your professional and personal goals requires careful consideration. At TTP, our expertise lies in guiding you through this complex process, ensuring that your dental practice sale leads to a partnership that enhances your future.

Dental DSO/DPOs can provide support services for:

  • General administrative services
  • Human resources and staffing
  • Payroll and billing
  • Insurance coding and insurance services liaison
  • Advertising and marketing services
  • IT services – Information technology
  • Building and facilities management services
  • Procurement services – durable and exposable goods
  • Accounting services
  • Regulatory compliance

By freeing up the numerous hours spent on these time-consuming tasks, solo dentists and group dental practices can have free time to balance their lifestyles, have a higher quality of life, and expand their clinical skills to deliver higher levels of service to their patients while building generational wealth.
