What Determines What Your Dental Practice Is Worth
Understanding Dental Practice Value
TUSK's team has valued hundreds of practices and closed 200+ transactions totaling $1.5B+. These are the four factors that drive every valuation.
Adjusted EBITDA
Every buyer prices your dental practice as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. TUSK's personalized financial analysis identifies every legitimate add-back, producing numbers QoE firms accept without adjustment.
Collections & Payer Mix
Annual collections matter, but composition drives the multiple. Strong PPO and fee-for-service mix commands a premium. Buyers weight productivity trends and organic vs acquisition-driven growth.
Providers & Patient Base
Provider count, chairs, and operatories affect capacity valuation. Buyers evaluate utilization, expansion potential, patient retention, and active patient demographics to model future revenue.
Competitive Tension
Without multiple buyers, there's no price discovery. TUSK brings 5+ offers per engagement and has increased initial offers by 40% on average from unsolicited DSO offers.
We had some unsolicited offers from groups but knew we wanted to maximize our value with TUSK. I could not be happier with the strong valuation and partner they helped us obtain.
Brent Miller
The TUSK Team was able to take the original offer I received and improve it by 60%. I couldn't imagine going through a process on my own.
Amy Jackson
The TUSK team helped build out my exit strategy. They were instrumental in making sure my business exited at the top. TUSK is excellent at what they do and are a gift to their clients. I cannot be happier with the way TUSK found the right partner for me.
James VandeBerg
The TUSK team was attentive and thorough throughout the process, allowing me to make the best decision financially, personally, and professionally at the end of the day. I would highly recommend any practice owner considering a sale to connect with the TUSK team.

Unsolicited DSO Offers
What to Do When You Receive an Unsolicited DSO Offer
Many DSOs approach dental practice owners with unsolicited offers that reflect the buyer's internal model, not your practice's true market value. Every practice owner should get an independent valuation analysis from a reputable advisor before responding. Learn below how TUSK Practice Sales increased this group's offer by 61%.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common valuation methods used for dental practices?
Dental practice value depends on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. There is no universal multiple because each practice’s financial profile is unique. TUSK Practice Sales has closed $1.5B+ in healthcare transactions across 200+ deals and provides free, confidential valuations that account for every variable that drives your specific practice’s market value. Our analytics team rebuilds your financials from the general ledger to establish the most accurate EBITDA possible before presenting to buyers.
How does TUSK Practice Sales compare in valuation accuracy to other brokers?
TUSK Practice Sales has closed 200+ healthcare transactions totaling $1.5B+, and that deal volume gives our team a level of precision that Quality-of-Earnings firms routinely accept without adjustment. With 50+ years of investment banking experience, we build every valuation on real transaction data and a deep, personalized analysis of your practice’s financials, not industry rules of thumb. That accuracy is why TUSK sellers see an average 40% increase over their initial unsolicited offers.
Why should I hire a sell-side advisor instead of negotiating directly with a DSO?
When you negotiate directly with a single buyer, there is no competitive tension, no alternative offers, and no one advocating for your EBITDA. Buyers routinely recast EBITDA downward, exclude legitimate add-backs, and structure deals that favor their returns over yours. TUSK Practice Sales is 100% sell-side with 125+ combined years of healthcare M&A experience.
What EBITDA multiple do dental practices sell for?
Dental practice EBITDA multiples vary based on practice size, adjusted EBITDA, growth rate, specialty mix, geography, and buyer competition. The only reliable way to establish your actual market multiple is through a competitive marketed process with multiple qualified buyers. TUSK Practice Sales brings an average of 5+ offers to the dentists we represent and increases initial offers by 40% on average by creating genuine competitive tension among 100+ qualified buyers.
Is my dental practice valuation confidential?
Yes. TUSK Practice Sales guarantees full confidentiality throughout both the valuation and the sales process. No information about your practice is shared with potential buyers without your explicit written consent. All prospective DSOs and private equity groups sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving any practice details. Your staff, patients, and referral partners are never contacted without your approval. Confidentiality is a core commitment at TUSK because a premature disclosure can disrupt operations, unsettle staff, and weaken your negotiating position.
