About Dental Acquisitions
Built for the biggest deal
of a dentist's career.
We saw transition after transition stall in email chains, shared drives, and mismatched comps. So we built the marketplace we wished existed: one where sellers stay anonymous, brokers run real pipelines, and buyers see every listing with the data already attached.
Our mission
Every practice transition:
smooth, safe, and quick.
For most dentists, selling or buying a practice is the largest financial event of their career. It deserves better than a listing site bolted onto a PDF workflow. Dental Acquisitions is a single workspace where every side of the transaction, sellers, brokers, buyers, attorneys and CPAs, collaborates on the same deal.
We don't take sides. Sellers don't pay us. Buyers don't pay us. We only make money when a transaction closes, and only from the broker's side of the commission. That alignment is why we can promise what we promise: neutral comps, vetted buyers, and a deal room that doesn't leak.
From the founder
I've been on both sides of a practice transition. Every time, the most frustrating part wasn't the valuation or the legal. It was the coordination. We built Dental Acquisitions so that part finally works.
Principles
Six rules
we don't bend.
- Sellers stay anonymous by default
- Every listing is masked until a qualified buyer signs an NDA. Your practice name, your staff, your patients. Your choice who sees them.
- Comps come from real transactions
- Our valuations are anchored in closed deals on the platform. Not broker estimates, not national averages: regional, real, and updated continuously.
- We only make money when deals close
- No retainers, no seat fees, no listing charges. We take a transparent fee from the broker's commission at close. Nothing before, nothing from sellers.
- The deal belongs to you
- Every document, thread, and contact is exportable. If you leave the platform, you walk away with your deal intact.
- Brokers are partners, not middlemen
- We don't disintermediate. We give brokers a modern workspace so they can run more deals, more efficiently, with their own brand.
- Security is table stakes
- SOC 2 Type II. Encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access, audit trails, and watermarked documents on every download.
The team
Dentists, brokers,
and operators.
We've lived the problem: as sellers, as buyers, as brokers who shipped boxes of financials by courier. Now we're building the platform we wanted.
