Webinar Overview
This webinar will equip doctors with the essential knowledge needed to evaluate dental groups and make confident decisions about their future. Participants will explore doctor autonomy, financial considerations, legal details, deal structures, and emerging innovations that can benefit practitioners. Key concepts such as EBITDA, valuations, arbitrage, and various dental group business models will be clearly explained.
Doctors will also learn the three primary paths for their future—selling to another doctor, selling to a DSO, or partnering with a DPO—and gain clarity on why the DPO model can be advantageous at any career stage. This session is packed with practical insights for doctors seeking to maintain the feel of private practice while accessing the support and financial upside of a group model.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how to maximize the financial value of your practice.
Compare the pros and cons of the DSO model vs. the DPO model.
Learn key legal and financial deal structure considerations.
Understand financial models that support better decision-making.
