| how to buy into a dental practice: Dental Practice Transition David G. Dunning, Brian M. Lange, 2013-05-13 Practice management is one of the key elements in the career of a dentist.

With topics applicable to both recently graduated as well as established professionals, Dental Practice Transition is a comprehensive exposition of practice management from a dentist's perspective. |
| how to buy into a dental practice: Partnerships in Dental Practice Marc B. Cooper, Marc B. Cooper Dds, 2009-06 WHY BUY THIS BOOK? Because It Answers the Hard Questions Economically, dental partnerships make great sense in terms of optimizing assets, sharing costs, increasing revenues and fine-tuning division of labor. Yet in the United States, over 80% of dentists practice solo, and this figure has held steady for decades. What causes this overwhelming and enduring pattern of dentists continuing to practice solo? Top practice management advisers now declare, One sure way to realize a return on investment in your practice is to transition the practice from a solo to a partnered enterprise. They recommend the best route to be through the process of associateship to partnership, selling 50% to the partner, then continuing to work in the practice and selling the remaining 50% downstream. This works only if and when the partnership works. What do you do with an expanded practice if the partnership doesn't work? The majority of dental associateships and partnerships underperform or fail altogether. Although no clear studies are available, a number of dental journals report the failure rate in dental partnerships to be somewhere between 70% and 90%. Why do dental partnerships have such an extremely high morbidity rate? Nearly all associateships and partnerships begin with tremendous goodwill, excitement and enthusiasm. The future appears extremely bright. However, it is not uncommon that within five years, the shine disappears and is replaced with dissatisfaction. What causes partnerships to unravel? When an associateship-to-partnership fails, the costs are extremely high in terms of money, time and emotional distress. The effect on staff performance and patient relations can be demoralizing as well. Partnership failure in dental practices costs hundreds of millions of dollars every year and untold emotional damage. What can be done to prevent this? Surveys reveal the majority of dentists have difficulty in communications, particularly with their associates or partners. Consequently, they are ineffective at handling problems directly, resolving conflicts and making mutual business decisions. What are the factors that thwart a dentist's ability to effectively communicate to an associate or partner? It seems dentists are in a quandary. A clear path to economic freedom and asset optimization exists through recruiting an associate and transitioning the associate to a partner. The problem is most dental partnerships don't work. This book provides answers to the most common and destructive issues and problems that cause dental partnerships to fail. If you are considering a partnership as a strategy, or if you currently have an associate or partner, this book will enhance your ability to succeed. |
| how to buy into a dental practice: How to Buy a Dental Practice Brian D. Hanks, 2017-02-23 If you're thinking about buying a dental practice, you must read this book. Thousands of dentists go through the process of buying a dental practice every year. Did they choose a good practice? Did they buy at the right price? Did they buy at the right time? The stakes are high to get the RIGHT answers to those questions. Buy the wrong practice and you're looking at stress, money worries, angry staff and patients, and a frustrated family that doesn't see you as much as they'd like. Buy the right practice, like many do, and you have the foundation upon which to thrive - happy, relaxed, wealthy and positively impacting the lives of patients and living the life of your dreams. Unfortunately, the process of how to buy a dental practice remains a black box for the majority of buyers.

In this book you'll find answers to questions like: - How do I find a good practice? - How do I choose a good accountant and attorney? - How can I tell a good practice from a bad one? - When is the right time to sign a letter of intent? - What can I negotiate besides price? - How do I get a bank loan? - What do I do after I find a practice to buy?

| how to buy into a dental practice: Dentist to Dealmaker Nate Williams, 2020-08-22 I have worked as a dental Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and financial advisor since 2007. And for the past 12 years, working almost exclusively with owners of dental practices, I've invested far more than Malcolm Gladwell's required 10,000 hours into this profession (see Outliers,Malcolm Gladwell). More importantly, as a CPA, I see the world differently than the average person. For example, when you notice the cars other people drive, the houses they live in, the vacations they take, or the number of practices they own, you probably create an assumption of how well someone is doing financially. When I look at these things, I immediately think about the complexities of their tax returns and personal financial statements - and because I may actually be the one to prepare those tax returns, I'll know how well they're doing. Recently, a friend commented to me after returning from a trip to Orange County, CA, Everyone down there has so much money; I saw so many Porsches and BMWs and Mercedes... Like the rest of us, this friend has been conditioned to believe that if someone spends a lot of money, they must have a lot of money. This assumption, as I've learned from my insider position as a CPA, is flawed. The assumption that high spending equals doing well financially is like assuming that the guy who orders the Triple Bacon Cheeseburger must have a six pack! As a CPA and financial advisor, I have learned that the doctors who are doing well financially are those who have money in the bank, have financial peace of mind, and ultimately own assets that generate enough passive income to replace the income they earn by working in their practice. Over the last decade, I've studied success and failure alike. I've looked for and found patterns and behaviors and personalities and practices that lead to wealth; and I've found the same that lead to the prolonged indentured servitude so many doctors unfortunately experience. With a seasoned history of working with dental practice owners (or aspiring ones) like you, I've written this book in hopes it will provide you with everything you need to know about how to buy a dental practice that will carry you into what we call Financial Independence: the moment when you're free of debt and have enough passive income to pay for your current and future lifestyle. |

Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the “shefault” parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family—and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. “Winning” this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space—the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in. |

| how to buy into a dental practice: Managing Health and Safety in the Dental Practice Jane Bonehill, 2010-05-27 The main purpose of this book is to provide clear, straightforward information about the key requirements relating to health and safety in dental practices, with a practical and user-friendly approach to help manage these issues on a day-to-day basis. It assists practice managers, dentists, dental nurses and other team members in making health and safety 'second nature' by integrating it into their usual routine - thereby preventing accidents, addressing unacceptable working practices, and maintaining professional standards in order to ensure, so far as is reasonable, the protection of employees and patients. The book offers comprehensive coverage of all major topics, from the handling of hazardous substances to the management of medical emergencies. Each chapter includes: A tab for ease of reference A bulleted list outlining the scope of the chapter A list of figures An introduction to the subject and its relevance to the dental practice A list of key legislation relating to the subject The subject content broken down into sub-headings A summary to help reflection and recollection An action check list to measure against existing working practices frequently asked questions to assist in practical application Each topic is covered with specific reference to dental practice needs, with all the necessary detail but no excessive technicality. Ultimately, this book shows how a healthy and safe workplace is eminently achievable. |
| how to buy into a dental practice: The New Dentist Journey Kevin Coughlin, 2017-10-04 Congratulations. You've graduated from dental school. So what exactly does that mean? For most new dentists it means a huge student debt and very little business knowledge to manage it. Dental school is very good at providing clinical skills. But once a dentist enters in the real world business skills are even more important than a pair of steady hands. Dr. Kevin Coughlin is an expert on the business of dentistry. Growing his practices from 1 to 14 during his career, he's learned what works and what doesn't. And he knows that once you get it right, it's not a great leap to replicate that success over and over again. Today, in addition to his work as an actual dentist, Dr. Coughlin coaches, consults and speaks to dentists across the country on how to build the practice of their dreams - based on proven processes and procedures. Some of the things your will learn in this book: - Should you be a corporate dentist, join a group practice or start or buy a solo practice? - What should you look for before signing any contracts? - How to use publicly available information to find out your the patient base, the types of insurance and types of procedures you should offer. - How dental compensation works and what you need to know; are you going to be on collection or production or a guaranteed salary or some combination of the two? - The most common mistakes all associates make.
