How buyers value a dental practice is very different from how most owners think.
In this episode, Eric and Alex are joined by John Wloderek, the dental broker who sold their practices, to explain how buyers actually evaluate deals. They break down which numbers matter, which upgrades don’t move the needle, and why maintaining predictability and clean financials often matters more than last-minute improvements.
The conversation covers staffing, supplies, labs, expansions, marketing, rent, collections, and timing — along with how buyer expectations have changed since 2021–2022. John also shares what the current market looks like and why many sellers are waiting for what could be a busier 2026. This episode is about understanding the buyer’s mindset before you spend money you won’t get back.
