🧠 Valuation Insight: The Dental Valuation Trap

🦷 Dental practices often report strong cash flow—but is it sustainable after the seller leaves?

Key issues:

  • Owner-doctor usually drives 90%+ of production
  • No associate or hygiene team in place
  • Valuation assumes patients will stay with a new, unknown provider

📌 If the goodwill is personal, not enterprise, it doesn’t transfer—and neither should the value.
