Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Practice Transitions


  • What Is a Dental Practice Transition?

    A dental practice transition typically refers to the process of buying or selling a dental practice or an ownership interest in one. It can take many forms, including the outright sale of a practice, a partnership buy-in/buy-out, or merging practices. Legal guidance is crucial throughout to manage compliance, contracts, and patient handoffs.

  • Why Do I Need a Specialized Dental Practice Attorney?

    Dental transitions involve legal complexities. A dental-specific attorney ensures compliance with healthcare laws, proper contract negotiation, due diligence, and protection against future liabilities. It’s not a standard business transaction—industry-specific legal expertise is essential.

  • How Long Does a Dental Practice Transition Take?

    On average, dental practice transitions take 6 to 8 weeks. Simpler transactions may close sooner, while complex ones—especially involving financing, larger practices, or multiple approvals—can take longer. Having legal counsel early in the process speeds up the timeline by avoiding delays.

  • When Should I Contact a Dental Practice Attorney?

    Engage a dental practice attorney as early as possible—before listing your practice or evaluating one to buy. Early legal guidance ensures strong negotiation, well-structured offers, and fewer surprises during due diligence and closing.
