Valuing dental practice
Abstract
Because new dentists are finding that initiating dental practices has become more problematic, the issues of practice purchase and valuation have become more salient. The purchase of a practice, although expensive, decreases the amount of time required before the dentist can experience a profit. This article discusses issues related to valuing, reviews some of the strategies related to the purchase of a practice, and recommends an objective approach to establishing fair market value.
