Starting or Buying your first dental practice

Starting or Buying your first dental practice This page is dedicated to challenging those dentists who want to chase their dreams, to go and do it! What if their advice doesn't work?

With a team of 70 practice coaches across the country we feel like we have the ability to support every doctor in chasing their dream of buying or starting their first practice. Too many doctors try to do it on their own with little help from others and limited advice based on friends or family who have only done it once or twice. Why not surround yourself to give you access to the best knowledge

base possible? Imagine if your professors in dental school had only done one or two crowns, or filled only a few cavities. So why only rely on one or two colleague's perspectives to reach your dreams? Who can you trust to guide you through the entire process that is looking out for you and making sure that you have every advantage possible to succeed.

New Episode drops this week! Podcast ā€œDentist to De Novoā€ we’re sitting down with Bassim Michael CPA and CVA to take away the mystique of EBITDA, SDE and percentage of revenues for anyone considering a practice purchase.

We discuss how using a multiple of SDE (Seller’s Discretionary Earnings) provides a more accurate business valuation than revenue-based multiples, using an example of two practices with the same revenue but different SDEs to illustrate the risk for buyers.

I really hope I’m not the first person to tell you this but… the first loan you get as a dentist is the EASIEST loan you’ll ever qualify for. šŸ¦·šŸ’°

Here’s what most new dentists don’t realize: that first practice loan isn’t built on your track record — it’s built on the bank’s projection of how well you’ll do. They’re betting on your future, not your past.

Why are they so confident? Because dentists are a proven bet. This industry carries default rates of less than 1%. You’re one of the safest borrowers a bank will ever underwrite.

So when they say yes, they’re not just approving a loan — they’re expecting growth. They already believe you’ll succeed.

The question is: are you going to use that confidence to build something on YOUR terms? Or let someone else cash in on your potential?

Ownership isn’t as far away as you think. The bank already believes in you. It’s time you did too. šŸ‘‡

Save this for when you’re ready to make the leap.
