The three core decisions are whether to sell 100% of the practice or a partial interest, whether to include dentist-owned real estate, and whether to work back after closing.<\/p>\n<p>Those three decisions typically resolve into one of two structures. In a walk-away sale, the seller exits after a short work-back of approximately 4\u20138 weeks. In a partnership or vest-out, the seller sells approximately 50% of the practice now to a future partner who buys the remaining share over time. That structure fits larger practices that can support 2 or more doctors.<\/p>\n<p>The American Dental Association&#8217;s valuation guidance supports matching the valuation to the transaction structure rather than assuming every sale is a full, immediate transfer of the entire practice. A vest-out requires a different set of assumptions than a walk-away sale, and the valuation should reflect that distinction from the start.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Get A Real Valuation Before You Name A Price<\/h2>\n<p>A doctor-to-doctor deal requires a defensible valuation. The buyer&#8217;s lender will order one independently, and if the seller&#8217;s number cannot withstand scrutiny, the deal often gets re-traded or collapses entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Three valuation approaches can be triangulated for a doctor-to-doctor sale. Each answers a different question, and the spread between them shows how much room a buyer&#8217;s lender has to challenge your number:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Percentage of collections:<\/strong> A general dental practice sold to another dentist is often priced at roughly 65% to 85% of trailing twelve-month gross collections. This method is fast and familiar to brokers, but it does not address profitability. Two practices collecting the same amount can have very different overhead structures and therefore very different values.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Seller&#8217;s discretionary earnings (SDE) multiple:<\/strong> SDE is net income with the owner&#8217;s compensation, depreciation, interest, and personal add-backs added back. Private dentist buyers typically pay about 1.5 to 2.0 times SDE for a practice. The buying dentist is usually financing the purchase, so the price must leave enough profit to cover the loan payment and still pay the new owner a living.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Discounted cash flow (DCF):<\/strong> A DCF projects free cash flow over a defined period and discounts it to present value. Institutional buyers often run this method internally, even when the number they quote is expressed as a simpler multiple.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For doctor-to-doctor deals specifically, value is usually calculated by a percentage of revenue or a multiple of net cash flow. Practices collecting under $400,000 tend to sell below the percent-of-collections average, while practices collecting $750,000 or more tend to sell above it.<\/p>\n<p>A quick, back-of-the-napkin number set by the buyer can become the anchor that determines what the owner walks away with. A weak valuation analysis often gets challenged in due diligence. McLerran &amp; Associates builds a CPA-led, diligence-grade EBITDA analysis. EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and it is a common measure of a practice&#8217;s operating profitability. Doing this work up front helps the number hold up under buyer scrutiny so the deal is less likely to be renegotiated down later.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co\/1782231605342-03c5ed4725a3.jpeg\" alt=\"At McLerran &amp; Associates, every engagement is built on an ironclad, CPA-led EBITDA analysis and practice valuation.\" style=\"max-height: 500px;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption><em>At McLerran &amp; Associates, every engagement is built on an ironclad, CPA-led EBITDA analysis and practice valuation.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Step 3: Build A Confidential Buyer Package<\/h2>\n<p>Once the valuation is defensible, the next task is packaging the practice so qualified buyers can evaluate it without learning who you are. The confidential information memorandum (CIM), which serves as the confidential buyer package in a dental practice sale, is typically 30\u201360 pages, while the preliminary letter of intent (LOI) is typically 2\u20135 pages. The package is designed to generate qualified buyer interest without exposing the seller&#8217;s identity prematurely.<\/p>\n<p>A well-constructed package usually includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Collections trend over the trailing 3 years<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Payer mix, including insurance, PPO, fee-for-service, and other revenue sources<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Hygiene recency and recall rate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Operatory count and equipment summary<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Staffing structure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Lease terms and remaining duration<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Growth narrative<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patient-identifying information never belongs in the package. Patient information in a dental practice sale requires a separate legal basis and appropriate safeguards; a commercial NDA is not a substitute for HIPAA analysis, per the HHS Summary of the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Mishandling patient data can create both legal risk and deal risk.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure process works best in stages. A blind teaser goes out first, which is a short opportunity summary that omits the practice name and identifying details. Only after a buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and passes a qualification screen does identifying information get released. A confidentiality breach during a dental practice sale can contribute to staff turnover, lower revenue, reduced bargaining power with buyers, and can signal instability to potential buyers and referral relationships.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Find A Buying Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>Finding a qualified private buyer often takes more work than most sellers expect. Telling your study club is a starting point, not a complete strategy. A thorough sourcing playbook draws on multiple channels at the same time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Associates currently working in the practice or in nearby practices<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Study clubs and continuing education groups<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Specialists you refer to, such as periodontists, endodontists, and oral surgeons, who may know dentists looking to expand<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Alumni networks from dental schools in your region<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>State dental associations, which often maintain transition listing services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Transition networks and national buyer pools maintained by dental-specific advisors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post-COVID market context can affect how these channels perform. Fewer graduates today are willing or financially able to take on additional debt to buy a practice, and corporate dentistry is aggressively recruiting both potential buyers and key support staff. Private buyers still exist, but they are often more selective, more informed, and more debt-constrained than before. A doctor-to-doctor seller benefits from leading with the financial case for ownership, the quality of the patient base, and the strength of the transition plan.<\/p>\n<p>McLerran &amp; Associates maintains access to the largest premier private-buyer pool in the country. The firm tracks thousands of pre-qualified buyers and holds relationships across study clubs, banks, and dental organizations. The team runs a full go-to-market process that includes a marketing profile, confidential showings, direct mail, and geofencing, rather than relying on a passive listing.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co\/1782231776232-426cf610db07.jpeg\" alt=\"A chat at McLerran &amp; Associates: the dental-specific sell-side advisor and advocate for practice owners guides on how, when, and to whom to sell your practice.\" style=\"max-height: 500px;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption><em>A chat at McLerran &amp; Associates: the dental-specific sell-side advisor and advocate for practice owners guides on how, when, and to whom to sell your practice.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"solid-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dentaltransitions.com\/contact-us\/?utm_source=ai-growth-agent&#038;utm_term=sell-practice-doctor-to-doctor\">See how we reach qualified private buyers nationwide.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Screen For Financing Readiness<\/h2>\n<p>Buyer financing can be one of the main reasons doctor-to-doctor deals collapse after months of work. Verify that a buyer can actually obtain a dental-specific loan before granting exclusivity. This step separates deals that close from deals that do not.<\/p>\n<p>The key financing benchmarks to screen against in 2026 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Down payment:<\/strong> SBA 7(a) loans for dental practice acquisitions typically require a 10\u201320% down payment, with loan amounts from $250,000 to $5 million.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Credit score:<\/strong> Most specialty dental lenders require a personal credit score of 680 or higher, and SBA-approved lenders typically want 680\u2013720+.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR):<\/strong> DSCR measures whether the practice generates enough cash flow to cover all debt payments. Most dental acquisition lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.20\u20131.25, which means the practice must generate at least 20\u201325% more cash flow than required to service all debt obligations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Tax return review:<\/strong> Lenders commonly review the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dentalpracticeinsider.org\/sba-7a-loan-dental-practice\">last 2\u20133 years of practice tax returns<\/a> and normalize seller add-backs when testing repayment ability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A buyer&#8217;s pre-approval letter is an early signal, not a firm commitment. In doctor-to-doctor dental practice transitions, lenders may require the selling doctor to carry a seller note typically between 10% and 25% of the purchase price. That means a portion of the seller&#8217;s proceeds is tied to the buyer&#8217;s ability to repay and the practice&#8217;s performance under new ownership. Sellers benefit from understanding this possibility before entering exclusivity with any single buyer.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Negotiate The Letter Of Intent And Structure The Deal<\/h2>\n<p>The letter of intent (LOI) establishes the commercial framework for the transaction and typically begins a period of exclusivity. During this defined window, the seller agrees to negotiate only with one buyer. The LOI phase is often the most critical negotiating point because sellers have maximum leverage before the LOI is signed, and the ability to negotiate changes significantly after signing.<\/p>\n<p>Key structural decisions to resolve at the LOI stage include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Asset vs. stock sale:<\/strong> Most dental practice sales are structured as asset purchases. In an asset sale, the buyer purchases individual assets: equipment, supplies, patient charts, the lease, the name, and goodwill. The buyer gets a fresh depreciation basis on everything. In a stock sale, the seller reports a single capital gain on the shares, but the buyer inherits the entity&#8217;s existing tax basis with no step-up.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Purchase price allocation:<\/strong> Under IRC 1060, a dental practice sale price must be allocated across seven statutory asset classes on IRS Form 8594. Both buyer and seller must file matching allocations. Goodwill is taxed as long-term capital gain to the seller. Equipment produces ordinary income up to prior depreciation taken. A covenant not to compete is ordinary income to the selling dentist regardless of how the payment is labeled. These distinctions can meaningfully affect after-tax proceeds, so consult your CPA before signing the LOI.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Work-back period:<\/strong> The length and structure of the seller&#8217;s post-closing involvement should be defined in the LOI. Leaving this to the purchase agreement can reduce clarity and leverage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>McLerran &amp; Associates negotiates the LOI on the owner&#8217;s behalf and advocates through the full deal structure. That approach helps the seller, rather than the buyer&#8217;s advisors, shape the terms of the conversation.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 7: Close And Manage The Transition Rollout<\/h2>\n<p>Closing a doctor-to-doctor deal involves coordinating the asset purchase agreement, patient records access, staff communication, patient communication, and a staged rollout. The 6\u201312 month work-back period, or even the shorter 4\u20138 week walk-away work-back, works best as a retention strategy that keeps patients and staff comfortable with the change.<\/p>\n<p>On patient records, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cda.org\/practice-management-support\">active patient records must be kept indefinitely<\/a>, while <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cda.org\/practice-management-support\">inactive patient records should be retained for 7\u201310 years depending on the patient&#8217;s age<\/a>. Both the seller and buyer should confirm their obligations with legal counsel before closing.<\/p>\n<p>Patient communication timing can influence retention. The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dentalpracticeinsider.org\/dental-practice-acquisition-checklist\">transition letter should be drafted and sent 2\u20133 weeks before closing<\/a>. Warm introductions from the seller often reduce attrition. Practices with well-managed transitions retain 80\u201395% of patients in the first year, according to research cited by the American Dental Association.<\/p>\n<p>Staff communication works best when it follows a transaction-specific plan tied to the actual deal rather than a blanket early announcement. Losing experienced hygienists, assistants, and front-desk staff during the transition can drive patients away. Many purchase agreements include a provision requiring the seller to encourage staff to stay, and some buyers offer retention bonuses to key staff members as an incentive.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Doctor-To-Doctor Deals Fall Apart<\/h2>\n<p>Even with the seven steps above, deals still fall apart. The four most common failure points in private dental practice sales are buyer financing, valuation gaps, staff panic, and patient attrition. Each is preventable with the right preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 30% of healthcare M&amp;A deals fail during due diligence because of inadequate preparation. This risk extends to dental practices facing detailed questions about revenue concentration, provider productivity, payroll, leases, collections, compliance, and the owner&#8217;s future role.<\/p>\n<p>Do-it-yourself close rates run as low as 15\u201320%, versus roughly 80% for a well-run brokered process. McLerran &amp; Associates reports that roughly 85\u201390% of its clients transact, versus an industry norm closer to 35\u201340%. That gap reflects process: a defensible valuation, a national buyer pool, financing verification before exclusivity, and advocacy through every stage of the transaction.<\/p>\n<h2>Doctor-To-Doctor Vs. DSO Sale: A Direct Comparison<\/h2>\n<p>Many sellers weighing a doctor-to-doctor sale are implicitly also weighing a DSO sale. The table below compares the two paths across three attributes that directly affect the seller&#8217;s outcome. The pattern to notice is that the DSO path often trades upfront cash for deferred, performance-linked payments. Every figure is cited inline.<\/p>\n<table style=\"min-width: 75px;\">\n<colgroup>\n<col style=\"min-width: 25px;\">\n<col style=\"min-width: 25px;\">\n<col style=\"min-width: 25px;\"><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Attribute<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Doctor-to-Doctor Sale<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>DSO Sale<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Cash at close<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Typically 100% of agreed price at closing, no holdbacks or earnouts<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Typically 51%\u201380% at closing, with 20%\u201349% deferred as earnout, holdback, or deferred payment<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Post-sale work requirement<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Typically a 30\u201390 day transition period after closing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Commonly a 2\u20135 year clinical associate agreement<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>Typical diligence length<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>30\u201360 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p>60\u201390 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For practices with EBITDA above $250,000, DSOs can realistically offer 20% to 40% more than a private buyer on headline price. If a significant portion of that price is an earnout tied to targets the seller no longer controls, the realized price may be lower than a private buyer&#8217;s full at-closing payment. A DSO may offer a higher headline number. But when much of that number is contingent, a private buyer&#8217;s full payment at closing may produce a better realized outcome.<\/p>\n<p>For practices with revenue under approximately $800,000, DSO interest can be limited. In those cases, the doctor-to-doctor path can be both more practical and more competitive. McLerran &amp; Associates works both paths in roughly equal measure and can deliver a genuine side-by-side valuation so owners choose with fuller information rather than a guess.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How Much Should A Dental Practice Sell For?<\/h3>\n<p>As covered in Step 2, general practices typically sell for 65% to 85% of trailing twelve-month gross collections or 1.5 to 2.0 times SDE. Two practices with identical collections can sell for very different prices depending on overhead, payer mix, provider dependence, hygiene strength, and lease terms. Consult your advisors for your specific numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Is It Hard To Sell A Dental Practice?<\/h3>\n<p>It can be challenging without a structured process. The common failure points are buyer financing, valuation gaps, staff panic, and patient attrition. As noted earlier, DIY close rates run as low as 15\u201320% versus roughly 80% for a brokered process, and McLerran &amp; Associates transacts at roughly 85\u201390%.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I Have To Pay Taxes If I Sell My Dental Practice?<\/h3>\n<p>Most sellers owe taxes on a practice sale, and the amount depends heavily on the allocation. As outlined in Step 6, the sale price is allocated across seven asset classes under IRC 1060. The split between goodwill and equipment can be one of the main drivers of the seller&#8217;s after-tax proceeds, so the allocation deserves as much attention as the price.<\/p>\n<h3>How Do I Value My Dental Practice?<\/h3>\n<p>Three approaches should be triangulated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Percentage of collections:<\/strong> typically 65% to 85% of trailing twelve-month gross collections.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Seller&#8217;s discretionary earnings multiple:<\/strong> typically 1.5 to 2.0 times for doctor-to-doctor deals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Comparable sales:<\/strong> drawn from broker networks and transition consultants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A discounted cash flow analysis is also useful, particularly when a buyer&#8217;s lender will be running their own numbers. A buyer&#8217;s lender will demand a defensible valuation, and a weak or unsupported number often gets challenged in underwriting. A CPA-led, diligence-grade analysis done before the practice goes to market can be strong protection against a deal being re-traded.<\/p>\n<h3>How Do I Find A Dentist To Buy My Practice?<\/h3>\n<p>The sourcing channels in Step 4, including associates, study clubs, specialists, alumni, state associations, and transition networks, are the starting point. Screen each candidate for financing readiness, including credit score, down payment capacity, and debt service coverage, before granting exclusivity. McLerran &amp; Associates supplements these channels with the largest premier private-buyer pool in the country and a full go-to-market process that goes beyond a passive listing.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line: A Staged, Document-Driven Process<\/h2>\n<p>A doctor-to-doctor sale is a staged, document-driven process, not a passive listing. The deals that close are often the ones where the seller controls the valuation, sources qualified buyers nationally, verifies financing before granting exclusivity, and treats the work-back as a retention strategy.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aigrowthmarketer.co\/1782231581955-2aa75d9d4697.jpeg\" alt=\"McLerran &amp; Associates team: McLerran is the nation's largest dental-specific sell-side M&amp;A advisory and brokerage firms\" style=\"max-height: 500px;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><figcaption><em>McLerran &amp; Associates team: McLerran is the nation&#8217;s largest dental-specific sell-side M&amp;A advisory and brokerage firms<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>McLerran &amp; Associates is the nation&#8217;s largest dental-specific sell-side M&amp;A advisory and brokerage firm.
