Methodology: Counts of active listings indexed from participating brokers as of September 1, 2026. Source: TheDentalPracticeMarket.com listing index, pulled 2026-09-01. Each listing is counted once, in the state and specialty category as tagged in the source listing. This snapshot does not use listing "first seen" dates as an activity or trend signal — those dates reflect when our index picked up a listing, not when it came to market.

By state

51 states and territories had at least one active listing. 479 of 3,807 listings (13%) did not carry a parseable state in the source data and are labeled "Unknown" rather than guessed or omitted.

Top state × specialty combinations

Every nonzero state-and-specialty pairing exists in the underlying index; shown here are the 20 largest by count. Thin cells (a handful of listings or fewer) are common for narrower specialties in smaller states — that is expected, not an error, and is not presented as a trend.

TheDentalPracticeMarket.com is a listing aggregator; figures reflect what is publicly listed on the site as of 2026-09-01 and are not a market valuation. Every listing shown or counted here belongs to the broker who posted it — inquiries route directly to that broker, never to TheDentalPracticeMarket.com.
