Dental Practice Transition Process
Why is it Best to have a Dual Representation Broker?
Having a broker who represents both the buyer and seller in a dental practice sale can help ensure a successful and fair transaction. A broker who is familiar with both the buyer’s and seller’s needs can help facilitate negotiations and provide objective advice on the best course of action. This can help ensure that the sale is completed quickly and smoothly, and that both parties receive a fair outcome.
What is EBITDA and How is it Calculated?
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) is a measure of a dental practice’s profitability. To calculate EBITDA, subtract the practice’s expenses (including salaries and overhead) from its total revenue. The remaining amount is EBITDA.
What does SDC mean in relation to a Dental Practice Sales?
SDC stands for Seller Discretionary Cash Flow. It is a measure of a dental practice’s profitability that takes into account the owner’s discretionary expenses, such as taxes, debt payments, and owner’s salary. To calculate SDC, subtract the practice’s expenses (including salaries and overhead) from its total revenue, and then subtract the owner’s discretionary expenses. The remaining amount is SDC.

Dental Practice Evaluations
Dental practice evaluations typically involve a thorough review of the practice’s financials, including cash flow, profitability, and patient base. The evaluation also takes into account the practice’s location, equipment, and other assets. The evaluation may include a physical inspection of the practice and an analysis of the practice’s marketing and operational effectiveness. Finally, an evaluation may also consider the practice’s potential for growth and its competitive position in the market.
How to Maximize Your Dental Practice Sales Price
The best time to sell a dental practice typically depends on the market conditions and the current state of the practice. Generally speaking, the market is most favorable when there is a high demand for dental practices and there are a limited number of practices for sale. In addition, practices that are well-established, profitable, and have a steady patient base are more likely to achieve the highest sale price. Speak with a First Choice Practice Sales Broker for a Free Practice Evaluation to understand your practice’ value.
