By then, the number is already framed to the buyer advantage. This book explains the same methods appraisers and DSOs use — EBITDA multiples, cash flow, and goodwill — so you walk into any valuation conversation knowing how the math works.
How buyers put a price on your practice
The factors that actually move a dental practice valuation, before and after DSO involvement.
EBITDA multiples, explained
What multiple your practice earns, why it varies, and how the adjusted EBITDA number is built.
Cash flow analysis
How buyers read your cash flow to separate real, durable earnings from one-time noise.
Goodwill and intangible value
Where the value beyond equipment and collections comes from — and how it is defended or discounted.
What buyers actually price
The factors that raise or lower your number, and how DSO involvement changes the calculation.
Who it is for
- Owners planning an exit in the next one to five years.
- Owners who simply want to know what their practice is worth today.
- Anyone in a DSO or buyer conversation who wants to check the math.
- Advisors who want a plain-language reference to share with clients.
Questions owners ask about practice value
Most valuations combine a multiple of adjusted EBITDA with a review of cash flow and goodwill. The book walks through each method and how they fit together.
Multiples vary widely by size, profitability, growth, and buyer type, which is why a single headline number is misleading. The book explains what pushes a multiple up or down so you can estimate your own range.
Goodwill is the value beyond tangible assets — patient base, reputation, systems, and location — that a buyer pays for because it produces future earnings.
DSO involvement changes both the method and the structure of a deal, often shifting value into earn-outs and rollover equity. The book covers how the calculation differs before and after DSO involvement.
No. It is educational content on valuation methods, not a formal appraisal or financial advice for your specific practice.
