Practice Value 101: The 3 Drivers Behind What Your Practice Is Worth

If someone walked into your office tomorrow and offered to buy your practice—would you know what to ask for? Most dentists don’t.

In Part 1 of our 3-part series on Practice Value, Kelly Dahmer breaks down the biggest myth in dentistry: that production and collections determine your value. They don’t. In today’s market, it’s all about margin, systems, and EBITDA.

What You’ll Learn:
• Why production and collections don’t define your value
• The 3 real drivers of practice value: profit, systems, and stability
• What EBITDA actually means—and why it matters more than ever
• How to build a practice that runs without you (and why buyers care)
• Real-world case study: How one stressed-out dentist went from $4k/month to a $7M valuation

This episode is packed with actionable insight whether you're ready to sell or just want more freedom down the road. Kelly also unpacks the emotional and strategic shifts dentists need to make to move from burned out owner to confident, cash-flow-positive leader—with or without a sale.

You'll also hear about:
✓ What private buyers vs. group buyers are really looking for
✓ How to think about rollups, equity retention, and recap events
✓ Why “value” isn’t about how big your practice is, but how sustainable it is
