Dental Market Overview

The dental M&A marketplace has entered a strategic recalibration phase following the unprecedented activity surge of 2021-2022. Current valuation metrics show mid-sized multi-location groups commanding premium multiples of 5.5-7x EBITDA or 0.7-1.0x collections, with practices generating $1-5 million in EBITDA representing the market’s sweet spot. Despite economic headwinds, well-positioned practices continue attracting significant investor attention as the sector matures and buyers focus increasingly on operational excellence and sustainable growth.

Dental Practice Acquisition Trends

Today’s transaction structures reflect an evolving market with increased emphasis on earnouts, higher equity rollovers, and innovative joint venture arrangements tailored to align buyer-seller interests. While private equity remains the dominant acquisition force, investors have become notably more selective, prioritizing operational efficiency, technological integration, and staff productivity as primary value drivers. Market analysts project a robust rebound in transaction volume by late 2025 as interest rate stability returns and pent-up demand is released, creating a favorable environment for prepared practice owners.

Understanding your practice’s current market position is the first step toward a successful transition.
