Your Dental Practice Could Be Worth Far More — But Not For Long.

A new model that grants dentists the ownership, growth potential, and freedom DSOs can’t match. Traditional DSOs limit your autonomy — the dentist has no say. Creating a platform of dentist-owned and dentist-led partnerships puts you in control of your future.

Right now, you’re standing at a crossroads.

One road leads to the dream every dentist secretly wants but few openly admit: a lucrative exit, financial freedom, and a secure, prosperous retirement – even generational wealth.

The Other Road?

It leads to dwindling valuations, constrained buyer options, and the unsettling reality of working longer, harder, and retiring with far less than you’re worth.

The dental exit market you’ve always known is vanishing.

Think Blockbuster before Netflix, or taxis before Uber—the industry is shifting, and fast.

Private equity-driven DSOs are consolidating rapidly, and the independent buyers you once counted on are quickly disappearing, often starting their careers burdened with nearly 7 figures in student debt and working as DSO employees – not practice owners with capital to invest.

This is your moment — maybe your last chance — to secure a valuation that genuinely reflects the years you’ve spent building your practice.

The Good News:

There’s a way out — on your own terms.

Independent platforms (dentist-led partnerships) are redefining what’s possible for independent practices, unlocking valuation multiples from 7x to 13x of your practice’s EBITDA.

This isn’t theoretical — it’s happening right now for dentists just like you.

The Window Is Closing — Fast.

Once this market shift completes, valuations won’t just decrease—they’ll plummet. Your hard-earned equity could disappear overnight.

As a practice owner, you can’t compete with DSO organizations – they can undercut your pricing. They can get prices you can’t because of their scale. They can bring on new service lines as they scale. Your options to compete and differentiate will naturally diminish as the sophistication and power of these disruptors only grows.

The choice is clear: act now or risk losing the financial future you’ve worked so hard to secure.

Why it Works: The Power of Dental Partnership

  • Creating a platform is the only model in 2025 that grants dentists the ownership, growth potential, and freedom that DSOs can’t match.
  • Dentist-owned and dentist-led platforms put you in control of your future.
  • No other exit strategy has the upside potential – achieving an EBITDA multiplier of 7x-13x is not something you can get selling to a dentist or directly to a DSO
  • Private Equity (PE) isn’t interested small moves. DSO organizations exist as income-producing financial vehicles that broker assets to private equity stakeholders.
  • Building a managed platform is a proven path to attracting PE buyers without the middle man – in this way, you’re not selling to a DSO to then sell to PE – we’re building a DSO with you that can be sold DIRECTLY.

Your Questions, Answered.

What is an independent platform?

A Dental Partnership Platform (DPP) merges like-minded dental practices into a single structure that operates like its own DSO, allowing dentists to retain autonomy, grow their EBITDA, and achieve high valuations.

What is EBITDA?

EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. It’s a key measure of profitability and is used to calculate practice valuations.

How is an independent platform different from a DSO?

Unlike DSOs, which impose strict rules and non-compete agreements, DPPs allow dentists to retain clinical and operational control while benefiting from the financial advantages of being part of a larger platform.

Why is now the perfect time to act?

Billions are flowing into dental practices. Private equity is back on the hunt, creating opportunities for exponential growth. The market is hotter than ever—don’t miss your chance to capitalize.

How do I know what my practice is worth now & as a part of a platform?
