Platano Advisors helps dental practice owners across all 50 states navigate the sale of their practice — from solo general dentistry offices to multi-location specialty groups.
The dental M&A landscape has evolved dramatically. With DSOs (Dental Service Organizations), private equity groups, and independent buyers all competing for quality practices, having an experienced advisor on your side is critical to getting the right deal — not just any deal.
At Platano Advisors, we understand the unique dynamics of dental practice sales, including patient retention risk, associate transition planning, equipment valuation, lease negotiations, and the nuances of general vs. specialty dentistry valuations.
Whether you run a solo general dentistry practice or a multi-location specialty group, our process is built to maximize your outcome. We’ve worked with owners of general dentistry practices, pediatric dental offices, orthodontic practices, oral surgery groups, periodontic clinics, endodontic practices, and multi-specialty dental groups.
Dental remains one of the most active sectors in healthcare M&A. DSO consolidation continues to accelerate, with both large platform DSOs and smaller emerging groups competing aggressively for quality practices. This competition means well-positioned dental practices are commanding premium multiples — but only if they’re brought to market the right way.
Sellers who work with an experienced healthcare M&A advisor consistently achieve higher sale prices, better deal terms, and smoother transitions than those who go it alone or work with a generalist broker.
