Practice Valuation

Most dentists don’t know what their practice is truly worth. Many rely on outdated formulas, inflated expectations, or incomplete data. We solve this by delivering a transparent, metrics-driven valuation that reflects real market value. Whether you’re preparing to sell, buy, or merge, knowing the true value of your practice is the first step toward smart, confident decision-making.

Success Story: Dan Whittaker

My friend Dan, known in school as “Billion Dollar Dan” for his big dreams, built a thriving career and five suburban offices—but when it came time to sell, he hit a wall. After two years of failed attempts with corporate groups changing terms and individual dentists unable to finance his asking price, he turned to me. With TransitionOne’s valuation services, we reframed the story—normalizing earnings to show true profitability, spotlighting his strong patient base and hygiene revenue, and highlighting goodwill and scalability. Armed with a sharper financial presentation, we targeted serious, well-funded buyers, and within 180 days the practices sold. He didn’t just need a buyer, he needed the right valuation and the right story to unlock his practices’ true worth.

Dan Whittaker

“I thought my practice was worth $1 million. Chris showed me why the real value was $1.3 million and backed it up with data I could take to the bank. His valuation helped me sell with confidence and avoid leaving six figures on the table.”

Why Likability Transfers Goodwill Better Than Numbers

Most dentists assume practice sales are won with numbers: collections, EBITDA, loan approvals. But here’s the truth: deals are won (or lost) on something you won’t find in a spreadsheet—likability. When a seller hands over their life’s work, they’re not just transferring patient charts and equipment. They’re entrusting their goodwill—the
