Your Practice, Your Legacy
Get the Dental Practice Transition You Deserve
Selling your dental practice is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to maximize the value of the thriving practice you built. But not all transition advisors are created equal.
With the right team by your side, you can ensure a smooth, strategic transition – one that maximizes your sale and prevents you from leaving money or opportunities on the table.
At Professional Transition Strategies, we believe you deserve more than a one-size-fits all solution. Our data-driven approach, competitive marketing strategies and industry-leading expertise sets us apart – delivering a seamless and strategic transition tailored to your goals.
Not all transition partners offer the same level of service, expertise or results. Don’t settle for less. See how PTS compares and why dentists nationwide trust us to successfully guide them through their most important business decision.

| PTS | Broker A | Broker B | Broker C | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Without a transaction coordinator, dentists face overwhelming administrative burdens, delayed due diligence and reduced productivity — all risking the success of the deal | ||
| 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 | ||
