What Is Your Dental Practice Really Worth?

Dental practice valuation has changed, and the old rule of 75 to 80% of collections no longer holds. Gary Takacs explains what buyers and lenders look at today: owner compensation at about 30% of collections, then profit valued at five to six times EBITDA. He covers add-backs, why the lender may set your price, and the five areas every buyer studies. A practice that is 82% PPO is worth far less than one at 30%. Naren Arulrajah shares the marketing that keeps its value at sale time, including 10 or more five-star Google reviews a month.
