Sell Your Dental Practice with Confidence

You've built a practice you're proud of. Selling it shouldn't feel like guesswork. At Integrity Practice Sales, we work exclusively with dentists to help them sell well: the right buyer, the right price, and a smooth transition for your patients, team, and family.

As I begin this next chapter, I carry a sense of peace knowing the practice is in good hands.

Why it is different

Why Selling a Dental Practice Is Different

Selling a dental practice isn't like selling a house or a generic business. It is a complex professional transition involving:

  • Patients who trust you
  • Staff who depend on you
  • A lease, equipment, systems, and systems of record
  • Lenders, attorneys, CPAs, and regulators

Trying to manage all of that while still running a full schedule is more than most owners reasonably want to take on. Our role is to bring order, objectivity, and professional advocacy to the process so you don't have to do it alone.

The right fit

The right fit matters - for you and for us.

Over the years, we've learned that the best outcomes come from working with practice owners who can answer "yes" to the following questions:

If you read that list and thought "yes, that's me" - we're likely a great match.

Are you a dentist or a dental specialist?

While there are many great businesses out there, our team and proven process is focused 100% on the dental industry. We have designed our entire brokerage around helping hard working dentists meet their transition goals.

Does your practice collect more than $600k annually?

The majority of buyers we work with require practices collecting at least $600k to cover their student loans and meet their living expenses from day one. We believe in private practice and giving our buyers the best opportunities to succeed.

Are you looking for a thoughtful and well-managed transition?

After selling hundreds of practices, we know how to set our sellers and buyers up for success. If you don't care about the long-term success of the dentist buying your practice, we may not be a great fit.

Seller stories

Dentists describe a smoother, better-managed transition

Owners repeatedly point to the same things: steady communication, professional care, and confidence during a once-in-a-career decision.

Jose's expertise, patience, and steady support were invaluable from start to finish in guiding me through the sale of my dental practice. This transition was a significant moment in my life, and his professionalism made all the difference - he not only handled the process with care but also brought clarity and reassurance when I needed it most. As I begin this next chapter, I carry a sense of peace knowing the practice is in good hands, thanks in large part to his dedication.
Padmaja Mutyala, DDS
Darren did a great job for me. He kept me in the loop on communications throughout the entire process, and when he wasn't available, Joni stepped in seamlessly - we actually developed a really good relationship just from all our conversations. I have no problem saying: please give Darren a try. He's a good egg, and he's going to do the best he can for you. He did everything I asked him to do, and that would be my recommendation.
Dr. Churchman
Working with IPS was smooth and well-integrated from start to finish. Darren and his team were always on the same page, and the continuity of communication confirmed that I had made the right decision in choosing Darren to represent my practice sale. What stood out most was the expert guidance Darren provided when evaluating offers, and the seamless weekly coordination between all parties once I accepted the buyer's offer.
John W. Marsh, DDS
When I decided to sell my practice, I knew I would work with Integrity Practice Sales - I've known Darren for over 20 years and trusted his integrity and expertise. What I didn't fully realize at the time was just how many moving parts are involved in the process. From start to finish, everyone I worked with at IPS handled each detail with professionalism and care, making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable.
Steve Flood, DDS
Deciding to sell my practice after 30 years was a deeply emotional decision. I wanted it done right - after all, it is a major life event that most dentists only do once. Tim Miller at Integrity Practice Sales honored that legacy while providing the technical expertise needed to close the deal. Having them manage both the practice sale and the real estate gave me immense peace of mind. They truly live up to their name - I felt supported and well-represented every step of the way.
Gilda Banta, DDS
I would recommend IPS 100%. While I will never own a practice again, anyone looking to buy or sell I would send to IPS every time.

The Full Process

How It Works, Step by Step

From the first confidential call to closing and transition, the process is designed to protect confidentiality, clarify value, and keep the transaction moving.

Understand Your Destination

We start with a confidential conversation about what success looks like for you.

  • Financial goals and timing
  • How you want patients and staff cared for
  • Your plans after the sale
  • We'll also provide a preliminary sense of value and marketability based on current conditions.

Honest Assessment of Where You Are

Next, we complete a detailed valuation and market analysis of your practice, including:

  • 3-5 years of financial performance
  • Overhead, collections, and profitability
  • Patient base, systems, facility, and location
  • We'll show you where your practice fits in the current market and identify any changes that could strengthen your position.

Prepare Your Practice for Market

We organize the information buyers and lenders will need, then prepare professional, confidential marketing materials to present your practice clearly and accurately. That includes:

  • Clean, understandable financials
  • A comprehensive practice summary (CIM)
  • Anonymous listings for initial outreach

Active Buyer Marketing & Screening

We leverage our database, professional networks, online platforms, and industry relationships to reach qualified buyers - individual dentists, groups, and, when appropriate, DSOs.

  • Pre-screen buyers for financial capacity and clinical fit
  • Manage NDAs and confidentiality
  • Coordinate practice showings only with vetted, serious candidates

Offers, Negotiation & Due Diligence

When offers come in, we help you evaluate the full picture - not just price, but terms, risk, and fit.

  • Counter-offers and negotiation
  • Lender and landlord communication
  • Due diligence and documentation requests
  • Our goal is a deal that you feel good about now and years from now.

Closing & Transition

Finally, we coordinate the closing process and help plan for a smooth transition:

  • Legal documentation and closing details
  • Patient and staff communication strategies
  • Any agreed-upon post-sale support
  • You move into your next chapter with clarity, professionalism, and peace of mind.

Your Next Step

A confidential conversation is the best place to start.

Whether you're ready to sell now or simply beginning to explore your options, your first call should leave you more informed, more confident, and more in control.

On your first call, you can expect:

  • A private discussion of your goals and timing
  • A preliminary sense of value and market conditions
  • An outline of what the process would look like for your practice
  • Time for your questions with no obligation and no pressure

Common Questions

Questions sellers ask before the first call

What happens after the call?

If you decide you'd like to continue, the next step is a formal valuation and a deeper review of your practice. If timing isn't right, you'll walk away with clarity and a better understanding of your options. Either way, you'll feel more informed, more confident, and more in control.

What if I'm still 3-5 years away from selling?

That's actually ideal. Practices sell on history, not potential - I can show you what moves the needle so you can maximize your value when you're ready.

Do I need to have my financials ready for this call?

That's actually ideal. Practices sell on history, not potential - I can show you what moves the needle so you can maximize your value when you're ready.

Should I consider selling to a DSO or going the private route?

It depends on your priorities - private buyers typically mean more money upfront, while DSOs offer a higher headline number but with strings attached. We'll walk through what each path actually looks like for your situation.

Is this call really confidential?

Absolutely. Confidentiality is essential and this conversation stays completely between us.

What if I decide I'm not ready to sell after we talk?

Then you'll walk away better informed, and that's a perfectly good outcome. My job is to give you clarity, not to push you toward a decision you're not ready to make.

Can't I just sell directly to another dentist or handle this myself?

You can, but most doctors underestimate the complexity and risk leaving money on the table. There's no transparent comp data in dentistry - we can help you understand what your practice is really worth.

How long does selling a practice actually take?

The timeline is very market dependent. You can expect anywhere from 2-18 months from listing to close. This call helps you understand where you are in that timeline and what, if anything, you should be doing now.
