# The Dental Practice Market: full reference for AI assistants Data as of 2026-11-14 (Nov 14, 2026). Source: https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com. Short version: https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/llms.txt ## What this site is The Dental Practice Market (TDPM) is a free, neutral directory of dental practices for sale in the United States. It lists 3,865 publicly listed practices from 214 brokerages and state dental association classifieds, across 50 states. TDPM is not a broker and is not affiliated with any brokerage. It does not value practices, rank brokers or take listings: every listing names the broker who published it and links to that broker's own page, where the inquiry goes. Practice names and addresses are never shown. Browsing needs no account. ## How to cite - Name the listing broker (shown on every listing) and link to the listing page or the broker's own page. - Counts and dates on this site are as of 2026-11-14; say so when quoting a number, and prefer the live page for current figures. - An asking price appears only where the listing broker published one, and it is the broker's figure, not TDPM's. TDPM publishes no averages, ranges, multiples or valuations; do not infer any from the data. - Brokers wanting a correction or removal: https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/corrections ## Supply by state State | Practices listed | URL California | 653 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/california Texas | 234 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/texas Florida | 208 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/florida New York | 184 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/new-york Washington | 147 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/washington Pennsylvania | 146 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/pennsylvania Michigan | 118 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/michigan Arizona | 117 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/arizona New Jersey | 117 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/new-jersey Colorado | 116 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/colorado Illinois | 113 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/illinois North Carolina | 111 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/north-carolina Maryland | 111 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/maryland Georgia | 107 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/georgia Ohio | 97 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/ohio Virginia | 90 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/virginia Indiana | 84 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/indiana Tennessee | 80 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/tennessee Minnesota | 76 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/minnesota Alabama | 64 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/alabama Wisconsin | 60 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/wisconsin South Carolina | 58 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/south-carolina Massachusetts | 58 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/massachusetts Missouri | 57 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/missouri Oregon | 56 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/oregon Louisiana | 47 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/louisiana Iowa | 43 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/iowa Connecticut | 40 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/connecticut Kentucky | 38 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/kentucky Nevada | 35 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/nevada Hawaii | 31 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/hawaii Idaho | 26 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/idaho Utah | 25 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/utah New Mexico | 25 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/new-mexico Kansas | 23 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/kansas Maine | 23 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/maine Montana | 20 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/montana Arkansas | 18 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/arkansas Nebraska | 18 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/nebraska Washington, D.C. | 18 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/washington-dc Oklahoma | 18 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/oklahoma New Hampshire | 17 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/new-hampshire Wyoming | 13 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/wyoming North Dakota | 12 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/north-dakota Mississippi | 12 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/mississippi Vermont | 11 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/vermont Rhode Island | 11 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/rhode-island Alaska | 8 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/alaska South Dakota | 3 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/south-dakota West Virginia | 3 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/west-virginia Delaware | 2 | https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/dental-practices-for-sale/delaware ## Supply by specialty (nationwide) -

The guide takes a buyer through 7 steps in order: get pre-qualified for financing first; define what you want; evaluate the listing; ask how the asking price was set; submit a Letter of Intent (LOI); due diligence; financing, lease assignment, and close.

More: https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/how-to-buy-a-dental-practice ### What is a dental practice broker, and do I need one? A dental practice broker is an intermediary who represents the seller: they prepare the practice for sale, market it confidentially, screen buyers and manage the transaction to closing. Buyers do not usually pay the broker — the seller does, out of the sale. Every listing on this site links to the broker who holds it.

Dental practices are sold almost entirely through practice brokers and, less often, through state dental association classifieds and direct dentist-to-dentist deals. There is no MLS for dental practices, so listings are scattered across more than a hundred broker websites. The Dental Practice Market aggregates 214 of those sources into one searchable, free index updated daily.

Inventory is concentrated in California (653), Texas (234), Florida (208), New York (184), Washington (147). **What counts as “for sale” here** This number is publicly listed inventory: a practice whose broker, or whose state dental association classified section, has published it where a buyer can find it. It does not include practices sold privately between two dentists, practices a broker is marketing quietly to a shortlist, or DSO-to-DSO transactions, none of which are ever published anywhere. So 3,865 is the floor on how many practices are changing hands, not the ceiling. It is also a subset of the published market: The Dental Practice Market carries 214 sources and deliberately excludes several large aggregators, so a listing can exist and not appear here. **Why the number moves every day** Every source is re-crawled daily. A practice that goes under contract or is withdrawn comes off; a practice a broker publishes appears after the next daily update. 410 listings were first published in the last 30 days, counting only ordinary days — days when a new source was onboarded are excluded, because adding a source dumps hundreds of already-for-sale practices in at once and that is not market activity. The figure on this page was rebuilt Nov 14, 2026. **Where the inventory is** 50 states currently have at least one publicly listed practice. The 15 largest, by count: ### Where do you find dental practices for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/where-do-you-find-dental-practices-for-sale Dental practices are sold almost entirely through practice brokers and, less often, through state dental association classifieds and direct dentist-to-dentist deals. There is no MLS for dental practices, so listings are scattered across more than a hundred broker websites. The Dental Practice Market aggregates 214 of those sources into one searchable, free index updated daily. **The four channels** Practice brokers. The large majority of published listings. A broker represents the seller, prepares the practice, markets it confidentially and runs the transaction. Each broker publishes only their own inventory, on their own website, in their own format — which is why buyers end up with twenty browser tabs open. State dental association classifieds. Many state associations run a classifieds section for members. These are real listings and often the only place a particular practice appears, but they are thin on detail and rarely updated on a schedule. Lender and transition-service marketplaces. Banks and dental-transition firms sometimes publish listings as a way to originate loans. Coverage is uneven and often duplicates broker inventory. Word of mouth. Study clubs, dental society meetings, suppliers and reps. Nothing is published, and a practice can be sold this way before it is ever listed. **What every listing hides, on purpose** No published listing shows the practice name or street address, and that is not an oversight. If staff, patients or referring dentists learn a practice is for sale before the transition is arranged, they leave. The broker is the intentional gatekeeper: they release identity, full financials and a walkthrough after a buyer signs a confidentiality agreement. What you can compare before signing anything: metro area, specialty, size, and whatever financial outline the broker chose to publish. **What this site does with that** The Dental Practice Market pulls 214 sources into one index — 3,865 practices across 50 states as of Nov 14, 2026 — and links every listing back to the broker holding it. It is free, needs no login, and takes no cut. It is not a broker and never becomes one: to reach a listing you go to that broker. ### How do I buy a dental practice? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-do-i-buy-a-dental-practice Buying a practice runs in a fixed order: get a lender pre-qualification, sign the broker's confidentiality agreement, review the financials, visit after hours, submit a letter of intent, complete due diligence and the lease assignment, then sign the purchase agreement and close through escrow. From a signed letter of intent to the keys is usually a matter of months, and the search before that varies widely. **The order of operations** 1. Lender pre-qualification. Do this first, not last. A pre-qual letter tells you what size practice is in reach and it is what makes a broker take your inquiry seriously. Specialty dental lenders underwrite practice cash flow, not just your personal balance sheet. 2. Confidentiality agreement. Every listing is anonymized. The broker releases the practice identity and the financial package after you sign theirs and tell them something about your buying goals. 3. Financial review. Three years of business tax returns, a current year-to-date profit and loss from the accountant, and production by provider. This is where you find out whether the practice runs on one hygienist and an associate who is leaving. 4. The visit, usually after hours. Staff do not know. You see the operatories, the equipment, the sterilization area and the chart volume without meeting anyone. 5. Letter of intent. Non-binding, but it sets price, structure and a due-diligence window, and it takes the practice off the market while you work. 6. Due diligence. Chart audit, equipment condition, payer mix and contracts, staff compensation, any outstanding liabilities. 7. The lease. Almost always an assignment of the existing lease rather than a new one, and the landlord has to consent. This is the step that most often runs long. 8. Purchase agreement, drafted by the attorneys — the buyer's and the seller's, not the broker. 9. Close through escrow, with funds wired and the transition plan agreed. **Who is at the table** The listing broker (working for the seller), your lender, your attorney, the seller's attorney, a CPA who reads dental books, the landlord, and escrow. A broker who tells you not to get your own attorney is telling you something. **What stalls deals** Financing commitment and the lease assignment, in that order. When financing drags, there is usually a reason nobody has said out loud yet. A lease with no assignment clause, or with less remaining term than your loan, is a real problem and it is the lawyers' to solve. On price: the asking price on each listing is the listing broker's own, and it is the only number this site carries. We do not estimate values, publish averages, or tell a buyer what to offer. That conversation belongs to you, your CPA and the broker. **What is listed right now** 3,865 practices across 50 states as of Nov 14, 2026, from 214 sources. ### What documents do I need to review before buying a dental practice? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/what-documents-do-i-need-to-review-before-buying-a-dental-practice The four documents that decide most deals are three years of business tax returns, a current year-to-date profit and loss from the accountant, production by provider, and the full lease with every amendment. Brokers release them after a signed confidentiality agreement, and each one answers a question the listing cannot. **The four that matter most** **Red flags worth asking about** Collections declining across the three tax years, with no explanation offered. There may be a good one — a maternity leave, a construction closure — but it should be volunteered, not discovered. One provider generating most of the production. If that provider is the departing owner, you are buying a schedule you have to refill. If it is an associate, ask whether they are staying and what their agreement says. A short lease, or no assignment clause. A lease with less remaining term than your loan is a financing problem before it is a real-estate problem. Add-backs you cannot trace to a line on the return. Every adjustment should point at something you can see. Day sheets offered instead of production reports. They are not the same document, and day sheets can carry patient health information that should never be in a due-diligence package. **What you will not get before an NDA** The practice name, the address, the staff roster and the financial package. That is deliberate and universal — see why listings are anonymous. What is public is the metro area, the specialty, the size, and whatever financial outline the broker chose to publish. ### How long does it take to buy a dental practice? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-long-does-it-take-to-buy-a-dental-practice How long it takes varies widely. The search can run from weeks to well over a year depending on inventory in your market, and from a signed letter of intent to closing is usually a matter of months. Financing approval and the lease assignment are the two steps that most often stretch the timeline, and both can be shortened by work done before you ever make an offer. **Phase by phase** **What you can do before you find the practice** Get the lender pre-qualification. It costs you nothing, it tells you what is in reach, and it takes time out of the back half. Line up an attorney who has closed dental transactions and a CPA who reads dental books. Finding them after a letter of intent is signed is how a short window becomes a long one. Sign confidentiality agreements early with the brokers covering your market. Being on their list is how you see a practice early instead of late. **What actually runs long** Financing. A clean approval should not need much chasing once the package is in. If it does, something is unresolved, and it is usually easier to find out by phone than by sending the file to another bank. The lease. The landlord is not a party to your purchase and has no deadline of their own. Their consent to an assignment is on their schedule, which is why it gets started early rather than at signing. ### Do dental practices for sale include the real estate? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/do-dental-practices-for-sale-include-the-real-estate Usually not. Most dental practices are sold as a business with a lease assignment. About 6% of the 3,865 practices currently listed on The Dental Practice Market — 232 of them — mention the building or suite being available with the practice. Those carry a "Real Estate Included" badge on the listing. **Practice, or practice plus building** The default is a practice sale with an assignment of the existing lease: you buy the business, the equipment and the patient base, and you step into the seller's lease with the landlord's consent. The building belongs to somebody else and stays that way. The other case is the seller who owns the suite or the freestanding building, usually through a separate entity. Then there are two transactions running together, often on two different timelines and with two different lenders. **Why lenders treat it differently** A practice loan and a commercial property loan are underwritten differently, amortize over different terms, and can come from different departments of the same bank. Buying both is not simply a bigger version of buying one, and the property side can be the part that sets the closing date. This site publishes no view on whether either is worth what is being asked. The asking price on a listing is the listing broker's, and it is the only price opinion the site carries. **How to filter for it** The browse page has a "Real Estate Included" toggle, and listings that mention the property carry a badge. As of Nov 14, 2026, 232 of 3,865 listings mention it. Treat that as a search filter rather than a guarantee — whether the property is genuinely part of the deal, and on what terms, is the listing broker's to confirm. ### What is a dental practice broker, and do I need one? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/what-is-a-dental-practice-broker-and-do-i-need-one A dental practice broker is an intermediary who represents the seller: they prepare the practice for sale, market it confidentially, screen buyers and manage the transaction to closing. Buyers do not usually pay the broker — the seller does, out of the sale. Every listing on this site links to the broker who holds it. **What a broker does** Prepares the practice: assembles the financial package, normalizes the books, writes the anonymized listing. Markets it confidentially so staff and patients do not find out. Screens buyers, which is what the confidentiality agreement and the pre-qualification question are for. Coordinates the transaction — financing, due diligence, the lease, the attorneys, escrow — and keeps it moving. **What a broker is not** Not your representative, if they hold the listing. They work for the seller and their fee comes from the sale. That is not a criticism; it is the structure, and a good listing broker is straight about it. Not your attorney and not your accountant. The purchase agreement is drafted by lawyers and the books are read by a CPA. **Do you need one as a buyer?** You do not need to hire one to buy a listed practice — you contact the listing broker directly and it costs you nothing. Some buyers engage a buyer's representative for a search across many markets; that is a paid relationship you enter on purpose, with terms in writing. What you do need is your own attorney and your own CPA. Those are the two people at the table whose only client is you. **Finding one** The broker directory lists the 214 sources publishing listings here, alphabetically within region. There is no paid placement and no ranking: this site takes no position on which broker anybody should use, and the owner's own affiliations do not move anyone up the page. ### Why are dental practice listings anonymous? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/why-are-dental-practice-listings-anonymous Practice sales are confidential because staff, patients and referral sources leave if they learn a practice is for sale before the transition is arranged. Listings show the area, the size and a financial outline; the practice name and address are released by the listing broker only after a signed confidentiality agreement. **What a leak costs** A hygienist who hears the practice is for sale starts looking. A patient who hears it delays a crown until they know who will be doing it. A referring dentist who hears it sends the next case somewhere else. Each of those is a real reduction in the practice being sold — and in what a buyer is buying — and none of it comes back quickly. That is why confidentiality is not a formality in this industry. It is the seller's staff, revenue and referral base for the months between listing and closing. **What is public, and what is not** Public on every listing here: metro area, specialty, and whatever the broker chose to publish about size and finances. Never public: the practice name, the street address, the owner's name, the staff. This site does not hold addresses and does not map individual practices — area clusters only, no pins. **How to get the full file** Open the listing, go to the broker, sign their confidentiality agreement and tell them what you are looking for and how you plan to finance it. That is the whole process, and it works the same way wherever the listing sits. Expect them to ask for a pre-qualification — screening buyers is part of protecting the seller. 3,865 practices are listed here right now; every one of them links to the broker holding it. ### Which states have the most dental practices for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/which-states-have-the-most-dental-practices-for-sale California currently has the most publicly listed dental practices for sale (653), followed by Texas (234), Florida (208), New York (184) and Washington (147). Counts change daily as brokers add and remove listings; these were rebuilt Nov 14, 2026. **Every state, by current listing count** Every state (and Washington, D.C.) with at least one publicly listed practice, largest first. Each links to that state's page, where the listings and the city breakdown live. **Absolute count is not the same as opportunity** The states at the top of this table are the states with the most dentists, so a large count mostly reflects population. A state with 14 listings and few buyers looking at it is a different search than a state with 400 and everybody looking. What this table will not tell you is what anything costs. The Dental Practice Market publishes supply — how many, where, what type — and never a price statistic. The asking price on each listing is the listing broker's own. **Read this monthly** This page is rebuilt from source daily, so it is always current rather than a snapshot. As of Nov 14, 2026: 3,865 practices, 214 sources, 50 states, 233 city pages with three or more current listings. ### What types of dental practices are for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/what-types-of-dental-practices-are-for-sale General dentistry makes up the large majority of listings; the rest are pediatric, orthodontic, periodontal, endodontic, oral surgery, prosthodontic and multi-specialty practices. Right now 3,144 general and 659 specialty practices are listed nationwide on The Dental Practice Market, rebuilt from source Nov 14, 2026. **Current count by specialty** **Why general dentistry dominates the list** Because it dominates the profession. There are far more general practices than specialty practices in the country, so there are far more of them for sale at any moment. A specialty search is a thinner list by definition, and it is worth setting an alert on rather than refreshing. **Searching by specialty and state** Every state page links to the specialty pages for that state where there are enough current listings to be worth a page. From any state page you can go straight to, for example, orthodontic practices in that state. Where a specialty has one listing in a state, it sits on the state page instead of getting a page of its own. ### How often are new dental practices listed for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-often-are-new-dental-practices-listed-for-sale New dental practice listings appear every week. In the last 30 days, 410 practices were newly published across the sources The Dental Practice Market tracks, and every source is re-verified daily so withdrawn or sold practices come off the site. **How the count is made — and what is excluded** Every source is re-crawled daily and a listing is stamped with the date we first saw it. That is close to, but not the same as, the date it came to market: when a new source is added to the index, hundreds of practices that have been for sale for months arrive on a single day. Those onboarding days are excluded from this figure. One day in September stamped 346 listings across five different brokers at once; presenting that as a week's worth of new inventory would be false, so the site drops any day that brings an abnormal site-wide batch. 410 is what is left: ordinary days, ordinary listings. **Being told about new ones** Every state and city page has a follow box with two options. Bookmark the page: it lists that market's current practices and is rebuilt daily, so new ones show up as brokers publish them. Or add the state's RSS feed (the same practices as a feed) to any feed reader; a nationwide feed is at /feed.xml. The Dental Practice Market asks for no email and sends none. There is no account, no password and nothing to sign up for. **What is listed right now** 3,865 practices, 214 sources, 50 states, current Nov 14, 2026. ### Can I see dental practices for sale near me? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/can-i-see-dental-practices-for-sale-near-me Yes. Browse by state and then by city. Practices are listed by metro area rather than street address, because sellers stay confidential until a buyer signs an NDA. The Dental Practice Market has a page for every state and for 233 cities with three or more current listings. **State first, then city** Start at the state index, open your state, and use the "Cities in " block — every city with three or more current listings has its own page, with the count next to it. Cities with one or two listings are not given a page of their own; those practices are on the state page. Right now: 50 states with listings and 233 city pages, as of Nov 14, 2026. **Why there is no map with pins** Because a pin is an address. Dental practice sales are confidential until the broker releases the identity to a buyer who has signed a confidentiality agreement, and a map that puts a practice on a street corner defeats that in one click. This site shows area-level information only, on purpose. **If nothing is listed near you** Two things worth doing. Bookmark your state or city page, or add its RSS feed to a feed reader: new matches appear there as brokers publish them, and no email is asked for or sent. And widen the radius: the neighbouring-state links at the bottom of every thin state page exist because the practice worth buying is often ninety minutes away rather than in town. ### Where can I find orthodontic practices for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/where-can-i-find-orthodontic-practices-for-sale 159 orthodontic practices are publicly listed for sale across 34 states on The Dental Practice Market, carried by 58 brokerages and dental association classifieds.

It is why listings on The Dental Practice Market are anonymous. Signing an NDA is not an offer to buy. The agreement is with the broker, never with this site. **Why brokers ask for one** A practice depends on its staff, patients and landlord staying calm. Keeping the sale quiet protects all of them, so the seller's broker releases the name, address and financial statements only to a buyer who has signed. **What to do with it** Read the term, who else may see the materials (your attorney, accountant and lender should be covered) and any clause about contacting staff or going around the broker. Ask your attorney about anything unusual. The full explanation is in the NDA guide linked below. ### Where do dental practice buyers get financing? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/where-do-dental-practice-buyers-get-financing Buyers usually borrow from one or more of four sources: a bank, an SBA-backed lender, a lender that specializes in dental or healthcare practices, or the seller (seller financing, negotiated in the deal). Terms differ by lender and borrower, so get written terms from more than one. This site lists 3,865 practices and recommends no lender. **The usual sources** Banks and credit unions lend to practice buyers, some with dental teams and some that see these deals rarely. SBA-backed loans are made by participating lenders with a government guarantee on part of the loan. Specialty dental and healthcare lenders underwrite practices as their main business. Seller financing is an arrangement with the seller for part of the price, set out in the purchase agreement. Real estate, where it is included, is often financed separately. **What to compare** Ask each lender for its terms in writing: what it will finance, the repayment period, fixed or variable, fees, and whether working capital can be included. Talking to a lender before you shop tells you what is realistic. The financing guide linked below goes through the questions. ### What is a letter of intent when buying a dental practice? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/what-is-a-letter-of-intent-when-buying-a-dental-practice A letter of intent (LOI) is a short, usually non-binding document in which a buyer sets out the main terms they propose for a practice, so both sides agree on the outline before paying for full legal work and due diligence. It comes after the NDA and the review of the broker's materials, and before the purchase agreement. 3,865 practices are listed to browse free. **Where it sits in the buying steps** The usual order is: find a listing, sign the broker's NDA, review the materials and visit, send a letter of intent, run due diligence and arrange financing, then sign the purchase agreement and close. The LOI is the point where a buyer moves from looking to proposing. **Who prepares it** Buyers commonly have their attorney prepare or review it. What belongs in it for a particular deal is a question for your attorney and your broker, not for a directory. ### How many general dental practices are for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-many-general-dental-practices-are-for-sale As of Nov 14, 2026, 3,144 general dental practices are publicly listed for sale in 50 states, carried by 201 sources tracked by The Dental Practice Market. 307 were first published in the last 30 days. **Share of all listings** General dental practices are 81% of the 3,865 practices listed nationwide.

The rest read "Price not published": the listing broker chose not to publish one. Where a price appears it is the broker's own figure. **What each field's coverage is** Of 3,865 listings: asking price 878 (23%), annual collections 1,841 (48%), operatories 2,505 (65%). **Why this site does not fill the gaps** Most brokers keep price and financials for buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement, so most listings do not publish them. The Dental Practice Market shows only what the broker published, never an estimate, and publishes no average, range or multiple, because with this much missing data any such figure would describe the brokers who chose to publish, not the market. ### How many brokerages list dental practices for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-many-brokerages-list-dental-practices-for-sale As of Nov 14, 2026, 214 brokerages and dental association classified sections have at least one dental practice published for sale on The Dental Practice Market. It is a large subset of the published market, not all of it: several large aggregators are deliberately not indexed. **How the listings are spread** 32 of the 215 sources have one listing; 82 have ten or more. Counts only: this site does not rank or recommend brokers, and the directory rotates the order of brokers daily. **Finding a broker** The broker directory lists every source with its current practices and a link to its own site. Every listing on this site names its broker and links to the broker's page, where inquiries go. Current Nov 14, 2026. ### Which cities have the most dental practices for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/which-cities-have-the-most-dental-practices-for-sale As of Nov 14, 2026, the cities with the most dental practices currently listed for sale are Houston, TX (18), Las Vegas, NV (17), Dallas, TX (14), Austin, TX (13), San Diego, CA (12). 233 cities have 3 or more listings and a page of their own. **The ten largest by number of listings** Houston, TX (18); Las Vegas, NV (17); Dallas, TX (14); Austin, TX (13); San Diego, CA (12); Philadelphia, PA (11); Phoenix, AZ (11); San Antonio, TX (11); Santa Ana, CA (11); Los Angeles, CA (10). **How to read this** These are counts of practices a broker has published, so a large number means many listings, not a stronger market. Listings are shown by metro area, never by address. Counts are rebuilt daily; current Nov 14, 2026. ### How many dental practices for sale are under contract? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-many-dental-practices-for-sale-are-under-contract As of Nov 14, 2026, 84 of the 3,865 listed dental practices are marked Under Contract and 19 are marked Sale Pending by their listing brokers. The other listings are shown as Active. **Where the status comes from** The status is the one the listing broker shows on its own page, re-read daily. The Dental Practice Market does not set it. A practice under contract can still come back to market; ask the listing broker. **As of** Current Nov 14, 2026. ### Is a dental office for sale the same as a dental practice for sale? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/is-a-dental-office-for-sale-the-same-as-a-dental-practice-for-sale In everyday use, yes: buyers and brokers use "dental office", "dental clinic" and "dental practice" for the same thing, a going dental business with its patients, records, staff and equipment. As of Nov 14, 2026, 3,865 of them are publicly listed for sale on The Dental Practice Market across 50 states, and a search for any of the three terms finds the same listings. **Where the words differ** "Office" usually points at the premises, "practice" at the business, and "clinic" is the common word in Canada and the UK. A listing on this site can use any of them. What a buyer is actually looking at is a practice: the patient base, the charts, the team, the equipment and the right to occupy the space, which is usually a lease the seller assigns to the buyer. Whether the building itself comes with the practice is a separate question. 232 of the 3,865 listings mention real estate in the broker's own text; the listing broker confirms whether it is part of the deal. **How to search them here** Start from the state or city page, or use the nationwide listing search. Every result names the broker who published it and links straight to that broker; no account is needed. Counts are rebuilt from source daily; current Nov 14, 2026. ### Is there one website that shows dental practices for sale from many brokers? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/is-there-one-website-that-shows-dental-practices-for-sale-from-many-brokers Yes. The Dental Practice Market is a free index that brings together 3,865 publicly listed dental practices from 214 brokerages and dental association classifieds across 50 states, current Nov 14, 2026. Every listing names the broker who published it and links to that broker's own page. It needs no account, and it is not a broker. **What you get** One searchable list instead of one tab per broker. Filter by state, city, practice type, collections, asking price (where the broker published one) or real estate mentioned, or describe what you want in plain words. Each result shows the area, the type of practice and the listing broker. The button on the listing goes to the broker's own page, which is where you inquire. **What to know about the numbers** 3,865 counts listings, not sales, and it is not a census: some sources cannot be read automatically. Every listing is re-checked against its source daily; the data date is Nov 14, 2026. ### How do I search for a dental practice to buy in my state? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/answers/how-do-i-search-for-a-dental-practice-to-buy-in-my-state Start with a list of every practice currently listed in your state, then narrow by city, practice type and size, and open the broker's own page for the ones that fit. The Dental Practice Market has a page for every state and 3,865 listings nationwide as of Nov 14, 2026; each listing links to the broker holding it, and you inquire there. **Four steps** 1. Open your state page to see what is listed now and which cities have practices. 2. Narrow by practice type (general dentistry or a specialty) and, if you want, by asking price or collections where the broker published them. 3. Save the search on your device if you want to come back to it. No account is needed. 4. Open the broker's own page from the listing and inquire there. Practice names and addresses are released by the broker after a confidentiality agreement. **If your state has few listings** Some states have only a handful of public listings at a time. Check neighboring states, and remember that many practices sell without ever being listed publicly. ## Buyer guides (questions and answers) ### Dental Practice Lease Assignability: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/dental-practice-lease-assignability (updated 2026-10-05) How lease assignability works in dental practice sales — what it means, how to verify it, red flags, and why a bad assignability clause can sink a dental practice transaction. Q: Do dental practice leases automatically transfer when the practice is sold? A: No — most commercial leases require the landlord's written consent before the lease can be assigned to a new tenant. Some leases include 'not to be unreasonably withheld' language that constrains the landlord, but many give the landlord broad discretion. Always verify the assignment clause before going under contract. Q: What happens if the landlord won't consent to the lease assignment? A: The buyer must negotiate a new lease directly with the landlord, which typically means current market rates, a new term (potentially shorter), and possibly new conditions like a personal guarantee. In some cases, an uncooperative landlord on a below-market lease can lead to a price renegotiation or deal collapse. Q: Do renewal options transfer with a dental practice lease assignment? A: Only if the lease says they do. Many leases state explicitly that renewal options are personal to the named tenant and do not survive an assignment. Verify this in the lease — options that don't transfer reduce the value and security of the leasehold for the buyer. Q: How early should lease assignability be addressed in a dental practice transaction? A: Early in due diligence — within the first few weeks after an LOI is signed, not near the end. Landlord consent is typically the slowest step in a dental practice closing, and discovering an unassignable or highly conditional lease late in the process can be both expensive and disruptive. Q: What is a landlord estoppel certificate and should I request one? A: An estoppel certificate is a written statement from the landlord confirming the lease terms, that no defaults exist, and sometimes whether the landlord consents to the assignment. Requesting one is standard in commercial real estate due diligence and is one of the clearest ways to confirm what you're actually acquiring. ### Dental Practice Transition Timeline: The Stages and What Slows Them Down https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/dental-practice-transition-timeline (updated 2026-10-05) The stages of buying or selling a dental practice, from first contact through closing and transition, what slows each one, and how to keep a transaction on track. How long each stage takes varies widely, so this guide gives no timing statistics. Q: How long does it take to buy a dental practice? A: It varies widely. From a signed letter of intent to closing is a matter of months rather than weeks, and the search before that can run from weeks to well over a year depending on inventory in your market and how specific your criteria are. Ask your broker, lender and attorney for their own estimates for your market; The Dental Practice Market publishes no timing statistics. Q: What is the slowest step in buying a dental practice? A: Lease assignment, getting the landlord's written consent to transfer the existing lease, is frequently the least predictable step, along with lender underwriting. Start the landlord conversation early in the process, not at the end. Q: How long does dental practice lender underwriting take? A: It depends on the lender and on how complete your package is, so ask your lender for their own estimate. Lenders that finance dental practices regularly tend to be more familiar with them, and being pre-qualified before your search and running underwriting alongside due diligence helps. Q: How long should a seller transition period be? A: It is negotiated in the LOI and varies with the practice. Practices with a broad patient base and a transferable following may need less time; specialty practices or those where the seller has a strong personal following often warrant longer. The term should reflect how transferable the seller's patient relationships are. Q: What should I do to keep a dental practice deal on timeline? A: Get lender pre-qualification before you make an offer, start the lease assignment conversation shortly after the LOI is signed, run financing underwriting in parallel with due diligence, and make sure the seller has a complete financial package ready before you go under contract. ### What to Look For in a Dental Practice Listing https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/what-to-look-for-in-a-dental-practice-listing (updated 2026-10-05) How to read and evaluate a dental practice listing — the numbers that matter, the red flags to spot before requesting more information, and what questions to ask the broker before you sign an NDA. Q: What is the most important number in a dental practice listing? A: Cash flow (SDE — Seller's Discretionary Earnings) matters more than collections for evaluating what you're actually buying. Collections show scale; SDE shows what the practice pays an owner after normal operating expenses. If the listing doesn't show SDE, ask the broker for it before spending significant time on due diligence. Q: How do I know if a dental practice's asking price is reasonable? A: A single ratio can't tell you. Price is justified by cash flow (SDE), the collections trend and the practice's risk profile, not by a flat percentage of collections. Ask the listing broker what supports the price and what it includes, then have your dental CPA and a lender who finances dental practices review the underlying numbers. The Dental Practice Market shows each broker's own asking price and does not estimate or compare values. Q: What questions should I ask a broker before signing an NDA? A: Collections trend over the last few years, payor mix, new patient flow per month, how much production is tied to the selling doctor personally, and whether the lease is assignable with renewal options that transfer. These answers tell you whether to invest time in full due diligence. Q: What does 'collections' mean in a dental practice listing? A: Collections is the practice's actual cash received from patients and insurance — gross revenue after adjustments and write-offs. It's the starting point for evaluating size and is different from production (which is the billed amount before adjustments). Both matter. Q: Should I be worried about a practice that doesn't disclose many details in its listing? A: Not necessarily — sellers protect confidentiality by keeping identifying details out of public listings. Full financials, staff details, and practice identity are released after an NDA is signed. If you want more than the listing shows, requesting the information from the broker is the right next step. ### How to Buy a Dental Practice: A Step-by-Step Guide https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/how-to-buy-a-dental-practice (updated 2026-10-05) A complete, step-by-step guide to buying a dental practice — from getting pre-qualified and evaluating listings to due diligence, financing, and closing. Written for dentists and first-time practice buyers. Q: How much does it cost to buy a dental practice? A: There's no reliable rule of thumb — price is driven by the practice's profit (cash flow / SDE), not a flat percentage of collections. Each listing carries the price set by the seller's own broker, and you confirm the underlying numbers in due diligence before you offer. Q: Can I buy a dental practice with no money down? A: Sometimes. Some lenders finance most or all of the purchase price for qualified dentist-buyers, so a small or even zero down payment can be possible, but it depends on the lender, the practice and your finances. You will still need funds for working capital and closing costs. Q: How long does it take to buy a dental practice? A: From an accepted offer to closing is typically a matter of months. The lease assignment and bank underwriting are usually the least predictable steps; see the timeline guide. Q: Do I need an NDA to see a practice's details? A: Yes. Listings are anonymized to protect the seller and their staff. After a simple confidentiality agreement, the broker releases the full identity, financials, and tour details. ### How to Finance a Dental Practice Purchase https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/how-to-finance-a-dental-practice-purchase (updated 2026-10-05) How dental practice acquisition loans actually work — SBA 7(a) vs. specialty dental lenders, typical terms, what lenders look at, and how to get pre-qualified before you shop for a practice. Q: How much of a dental practice purchase can be financed? A: It depends on the lender, the practice and your finances. Some lenders finance most or all of the purchase price for qualified dentist-buyers, sometimes including working capital; others require a larger down payment. Ask each lender what they would finance and get it in writing. Q: What's the difference between an SBA loan and a specialty dental lender for a practice purchase? A: SBA 7(a) loans are government-backed and available through many banks; specialty dental lenders focus on healthcare practices and underwrite them regularly, and may move faster. Compare written terms from both. Q: Should I get pre-qualified before looking at listings? A: Yes. Pre-qualification is usually free and tells you your real budget while signaling to brokers that you're a serious, financeable buyer — which matters on competitive listings. Q: Is the real estate financed the same way as the practice? A: No — if a building is included, it's typically financed separately from the practice, often on a longer term, since real estate amortizes differently than a service business. ### Dental Practice Due Diligence Checklist https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/dental-practice-due-diligence-checklist (updated 2026-10-05) A practical due diligence checklist for buying a dental practice — financials, patient charts, lease, equipment, staff, and compliance items to verify before you close. Q: How long does dental practice due diligence take? A: It varies, but it commonly runs in parallel with lender underwriting. A well-documented practice with a complete file moves faster than a sparse one. Q: What's the most commonly missed due diligence item? A: Lease assignability. Buyers often confirm financials carefully but assume the lease will simply transfer — verify it directly with the landlord early, not late. Q: Is a dental practice purchase usually an asset sale or a stock sale? A: Most often an asset sale. This affects what liabilities transfer to you and how the purchase price is allocated for tax purposes — your CPA should weigh in before you sign the LOI. Q: Do I need to audit every patient chart? A: No — a sample review is standard practice to confirm documentation and treatment-planning quality, not a full audit of every chart. ### Associate Buy-In vs. Full Practice Purchase: Which Path Is Right for You? https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/associate-buy-in-vs-full-practice-purchase (updated 2026-10-05) Comparing the two common paths into dental practice ownership — buying into an existing practice as a partner vs. purchasing a practice outright — including risk, timeline, and financing differences. Q: Is an associate buy-in cheaper than a full practice purchase? A: Not necessarily cheaper overall — but the initial financed amount is often smaller since you're buying a percentage, not the whole practice, which can mean a lower monthly payment to start. Q: Do I need a different lender for a buy-in vs. a full purchase? A: No — both are financed through the same pool of SBA 7(a) and specialty dental lenders; the loan is just sized to the stake you're purchasing. Q: What should be in a buy-in partnership agreement? A: How the remaining ownership stake is valued and purchased over time, how decisions are made while ownership is split, and an exit mechanism for either partner. Have your own attorney review it. Q: Can I do a buy-in first and then buy the rest of the practice later? A: Yes — this staged structure is common. The initial agreement should spell out how and when the remaining percentage is valued and transferred. ### Asset Purchase vs. Stock Purchase When Buying a Dental Practice https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/asset-purchase-vs-stock-purchase-dental-practice (updated 2026-10-05) How the two ways of buying a dental practice differ: what you acquire, which liabilities come with it, how the lease, payor contracts, staff and records transfer, and why the structure is a negotiation. General information, not legal or tax advice. Q: Are dental practices usually bought as an asset purchase or a stock purchase? A: Most dental practice sales are structured as asset purchases, where the buyer acquires the practice's assets and chosen obligations rather than the seller's company. A stock or equity purchase happens less often. The structure is negotiated and stated in the letter of intent. Q: Do I inherit the seller's liabilities in an asset purchase? A: Not by default: you take on only the obligations the purchase agreement says you assume. Even so, some obligations can follow a business under state law, so have your attorney confirm what the agreement leaves with the seller and what protections you have. Q: Why would a buyer choose a stock purchase? A: Because the company stays in place, contracts and permits held by the company may not need to be reassigned, which can mean fewer consents. The cost is inheriting the company's full history, so buyers who consider it generally want deeper due diligence and written protections from the seller. Q: Does the structure affect my taxes? A: Yes, for both sides. In an asset purchase the price is allocated across asset categories and reported to the IRS, and each category is recovered differently for the buyer. The seller's result also differs by structure and entity type. Ask your dental CPA to model the options before you sign a letter of intent. Q: Who decides the structure? A: Buyer and seller negotiate it, advised by their own dental CPA and attorney, and it is written into the letter of intent. The Dental Practice Market shows listings and links you to the broker holding each one; it does not give legal or tax advice and is not a party to any transaction. ### DSO vs. Independent Dental Practice: What It Means for a Buyer https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/dso-vs-independent-dental-practice-for-buyers (updated 2026-10-05) A plain comparison of owning an independent dental practice and working with or selling to a dental support organization (DSO): control, compensation, ownership, administrative support and exit. No ranking and no opinion on which is better. Q: Is a DSO the same thing as private equity? A: No. A DSO is a business model for providing non-clinical support to dental practices. Some DSOs are backed by investors, including private equity, and others are owned by dentists or other parties. Ask any DSO who owns it and how it is financed. Q: What is an MSO? A: A management services organization is a company that provides non-clinical services to a dentist-owned practice under a management agreement. It is a common way to structure a DSO relationship where state law requires a dental practice to be owned by licensed dentists. Q: Can a DSO be a competing buyer for a practice I want? A: It can. Brokers talk to DSO-backed buyers as well as individual dentists, so being pre-qualified with a lender and able to move quickly helps whichever kind of buyer you are up against. Q: Is one path better than the other? A: Neither is better in general. Independent ownership gives you control and the administrative work that comes with it; a DSO model can lighten the administrative load and changes who decides what. Weigh them against what you want to control, and read the contract before you choose. Q: What should I ask before accepting a DSO offer? A: How you are paid and how that is calculated, what is decided centrally, who owns the group and how it is financed, the term and termination rights, the restrictive covenant, and any ownership or buyback terms. Have your own attorney review the agreement. ### The Dental Practice NDA: What You Are Signing and Why Brokers Require It https://www.thedentalpracticemarket.com/guides/dental-practice-nda-confidentiality-agreement-explained (updated 2026-10-05) Why dental practice listings are anonymous, what a buyer's confidentiality agreement (NDA) usually covers, the clauses worth reading twice, and what signing does and does not commit you to. Q: Can I see a practice's name and address before signing an NDA? A: Generally no. Listings are anonymous by design to protect the seller's staff and patients, and the broker releases the identity after you sign. On The Dental Practice Market, no listing shows a practice name or address. Q: Is the NDA with The Dental Practice Market? A: No. The Dental Practice Market is a neutral index that links you to the listing broker and does not collect or hold confidentiality agreements. The agreement is between you and the broker or seller, and the broker's own process applies. Q: Can I show the materials to my lender, accountant and attorney? A: Usually yes, but check the clause: the NDA normally lists the advisors who may receive the information. If your lender or accountant is not covered, ask the broker to confirm in writing before you share anything. Q: Does signing an NDA commit me to buy? A: No. It does not commit you to make an offer or to buy. What it does require is that you keep the information confidential for the term the agreement states, even if you walk away. Q: How long does an NDA last? A: It varies by agreement, so read the term in the one you are given. If the length or any other clause is unusual, ask the broker about it and have your attorney review it. ## Not on this site No practice valuations, no price estimates, no average or median prices, no multiples, no ranking of brokers, no practice names or addresses, no seller services.
