The Dental Practice Sale Podcast
Dentistry, as a business, is in a period of flux today. Retiring dentists want to maximize the sale value and aren't sure where to find a strong buyer. Mid-career dentists want to grow beyond the traditional single office practice. Associates seeking financial predictability aren't sure if private practice will provide it. And Institutional dentistry (DSOs, DPOs) are driving up valuations, but often with complex deal terms. Amid this landscape, the Dental Practice Sale podcast is intended to provide its listeners with (1) education and seller stories and (2) insights into how the www.practiceorbit.com platform can help these various parties operate more effectively together in its online marketplace.
