After months of updates, rewrites, and real-world feedback from hundreds of clients, the new 5th Edition of How to Buy a Dental Practice is officially out.
This version is the most complete and practical edition yet, fully updated for the 2025 dental market. Whether you are just starting to look for a practice, or already under LOI, it will help you make smarter decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.
What’s New in the 5th Edition
- New partnership and buy-in guidance
The ownership landscape has changed. More dentists are joining group practices, taking on partners, or structuring phased buy-ins. This edition walks you through how to evaluate partnership opportunities, understand equity splits, and protect yourself in shared ownership situations. - Updated lending and valuation examples
Interest rates have shifted, and banks have adjusted their underwriting standards. The book now reflects current lending realities and gives practical examples that match what today’s buyers are seeing in real deals. - Modern due diligence and LOI frameworks
You will find cleaner, easier-to-follow breakdowns of due diligence and LOI stages, including sample terms, allocation examples, and red flags to watch for. - Real buyer stories and practical case studies
This version includes new examples from recent clients across the country, showing what went right, what went wrong, and how they ultimately closed on great practices. - A redesigned format and structure
We made it easier to read, easier to scan, and easier to apply. You can jump straight to the section you need without losing context.
Why We Updated It Now
The dental transitions market is changing fast. DSOs are more active, partnerships are more complex, and practice values are influenced by factors that barely existed five years ago.
We wanted the book to reflect what we are seeing every day in our work with buyers — real data, real valuations, and the real challenges new owners face when stepping into practice ownership in 2025.

This book started as a way to help dentists buy smarter, safer, and faster. Five editions later, it is still built on the same idea, to make practice ownership achievable for more dentists who want to build a great career and life doing what they love.
Thanks to everyone who has read, shared, and recommended How to Buy a Dental Practice over the years. We cannot wait to see what this next generation of buyers does with it.
