Selling a dental practice is not just a financial transaction. It is the end of a chapter you have spent years building, with patients, staff and a reputation to protect along the way. Professional Transition Strategies represents sellers exclusively, so every recommendation we make is built around your outcome, not a buyer’s.

Sell-Side Representation, Nothing Split

Some brokers represent both buyers and sellers in the same deal, which means their advice is never fully in your corner. We work exclusively with sellers. That means our marketing, our negotiation and our advice are built around one goal, getting you the best possible outcome, not managing a conflict of interest.

Sell-Side Representation, Nothing Split

We start with a free, no obligation prospectus, a full look at your practice’s financials, patient demographics, procedures and market position. Once complete, we walk through it with you and lay out your real options, so you decide with the full picture instead of a guess.

Confidentiality First

Every buyer and interested party signs an NDA before receiving any details about your practice, protecting your staff and patients from unnecessary disruption.

Access to DSOs, PE Buyers & Individual Buyers

Through our existing relationships, we bring your practice in front of a wide range of qualified buyers, dental support organizations, private equity backed groups and individual dentists.

Active, Not Passive, Marketing

We do not just list your practice and wait. Our team actively markets it to bring qualified offers, not just the first one that comes along.

The Right Buyer, Not Just the First One

Visibility matters, but so does discretion. We find the buyer who is the right fit, not just the fastest close.

Your Practice Prospectus

Our free prospectus simplifies your financial standing, making it easy to understand

Requires a yearlong contract before offering a "free" practice valuation

Offers a "free" valuation only if your practice collects over $2 million, AND if you agree to sell exclusively to a DSO, limiting your options

Charges an upfront fee just to assess your practice's financials before proving they're the right brokerage for you

Contract Terms & Fees

No upfront fees, no hidden costs and no penalties for walking away — our success hinges on getting you the best deal possible

Hidden fees lurk in their contract: break-up fees for rejecting a DSO offer, six-month mandatory engagements and a two-year tail restricting future buyer outreach

Locks doctors into a yearlong contract with a $150,000 minimum success fee plus ongoing payments on your future earnouts, even after the deal is done

Forces doctors to choose between paying $5K-$10K upfront or signing a restrictive one-year contract before even seeing a prospectus or marketing plan

DSO Relationships

We refuse DSO kickbacks to ensure finding the right fit for your practice remains our #1 priority

Holds equity in a DSO, creating a conflict of interest that pushes doctors toward one group — often without full transparency

Prioritizes deals with the same five DSOs that financially incentivize them, limiting competition and reducing potential offers

Primarily sells to individual buyers, lacking the relationships and expertise needed for a successful DSO transition

Ease of EBITDA Calculation

We handle the calculations, ensuring accuracy and maximizing value

They represent a DSO, prioritizing a low EBITDA to benefit the DSO — not the doctor — leading to missed financial gains

Leaves EBITDA calculations to the DSO, keeping doctors in the dark and giving DSOs the upper hand in negotiations

Mislabels SDE as EBITDA, undervaluing practices and leading to weaker offers from DSOs

End-to-End Organization

Your dedicated transaction coordinator manages the entire process, from paperwork to due diligence, keeping your transition smooth and on schedule

Requires a yearlong contract before offering a "free" practice valuation

AI-Powered Matchmaking

Julia.ai gives PTS a cutting-edge advantage by using its proprietary AI-powered matchmaking to connect optimal sellers and buyers faster and more strategically than ever before

They rely on outdated, manual processes that slow down deals and limit competitive bidding when selling your most important asset

1. How is my dental practice valued?

-

Valuation is handled by our dedicated in-house CPA and valuations team, who calculate an accurate estimate based on your practice’s collections, profitability, patient base and equipment, along with market comparisons from real closed transactions. Your free prospectus walks through exactly how these factors apply to your specific practice.

2. What is the difference between selling to a DSO, a private equity backed group and an individual buyer?

+

An individual buyer sale usually means a more straightforward transition, often with the buyer taking over independently. A DSO or private equity backed sale often means staying on for a defined period, with different terms around compensation, retained equity and ongoing involvement. We help you understand which path fits your goals before you commit.

3. What happens to my staff and patients after a sale?

+

This depends on your buyer and your deal structure. We factor this directly into how we position your practice and vet potential buyers, so the outcome protects what you have built.

4. How long does it take to sell a dental practice?

+

Timelines vary based on your practice, your market and your buyer type. We give you a realistic timeline once we understand your practice and your goals.

5. Is the process confidential?

+

Yes. Every buyer signs an NDA before receiving details about your practice, and we protect your information throughout the process.

6. Do I need to keep working at my practice after it sells?

+

Some deals, particularly with DSOs or private equity backed groups, include a transition period where you stay on. Others allow for a fuller and faster exit. We help you negotiate terms that match how involved you want to stay.
