Looking to purchase an established general dentistry practice with room for growth? Check out this well-respected practice in a small city. With low overhead and strong collections, the current owner makes a comfortable living working just 30 hours per week and referring out ortho, periodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery. With four treatment rooms, that means the practice has the space and capacity to grow to your ambition!

What kind of impression does your practice make?

Whether you’re selling or hiring, your success hinges on what potential buyers or hires think about your practice. And that impression often goes beyond the initial curb appeal. (See: 5 Easy Ways to Boost Your Practice’s Curb Appeal.)

When dentists are looking to join a new practice, whether as an owner or associate, they’re wise to look beyond that first impression. In fact, a smart candidate will take the time to dig deeper to see how well the practice runs. After all, the practice could become their professional home!

This small-group family dentistry practice has been serving the local community since 1973, with five partners over that time. Every associate has become a full partner, and each has stayed until retirement. Now it’s your turn to join: one of the current owners is retiring and selling his portion! He’s even willing to help finance the purchase, and the two other owners are happy to act as mentors.

It’s finally happening! 

Starting today, ADA Practice Transitions is now accepting profiles from dentists in all 50 states!

This thriving dental office is seeking its new owner! The experienced, humble team of exceptionally hardworking, compassionate staff are eager to support this new owner.

The self-sustaining practice is one of just two in a small Central Wisconsin town. Located on Main Street near the town’s middle and high schools, the practice keeps flexible hours to meet patients’ needs. In addition to preventive and restorative services, the practice offers endodontics, orthodontics, and implants. And since the current owner does not work five days a week, there’s plenty of opportunity to grow with your ambition.

A dental career offers so many potential paths. As your skills expand and interests evolve, it’s smart to periodically review your options. You might discover that you want to buy a practice, expand your services — or reduce your own hours. A family health issue, your partner’s career, or another factor might also prompt you to consider a change.

How can you think through what is right for you?

Dr. Gagnon needed another dentist in her practice after her father retired. Dr. Sikora wanted her first associateship out of dental school to include plenty of hands-on mentorship – in a state where she had no connections.

Be the only dentist in a family-friendly, fast-growing town with good schools! This beautiful Wisconsin area boasts plentiful nearby entertainment and outdoor leisure, including a network of hiking trails and lots of local fishing and hunting.

ADA Practice Transitions goes beyond practice transactions to focus on the whole transition. Rather than being just another listing service, we focus on connecting dentists who share a similar practice approach – which leads to more successful transitions and careers.

This week’s webinar explored exactly how (and why) we do things this way. Watch the replay, with ADAPT President & CEO Bill Robinson and VP of Dental Practice and Relationships, Dr. Suzanne Ebert, to learn:

• How ADAPT is designed to help you find a match and success long after the contracts are signed
• 10 ways that ADAPT is different from traditional practice transition options
• How to showcase your skills or practice to find the right match for you

While doing the research that led to the development of ADA Practice Transitions, we found a common theme: Dentists who had sold their practice frequently shared that they spent too much money with a broker – and felt they did not receive commensurate value.

We developed ADA Practice Transitions to focus on philosophy of care – matching dentists with a similar approach, for a more successful result – but we also wanted to give dentists a more cost-effective option. We designed our service to deliver tremendous value in a manner that was less expensive than the other options, sometimes by a lot.
