On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Brannon Moncrief of McLerran & Associates to unpack the current state of dental practice transitions, valuations, and DSO affiliation. Brannon explains the key differences between doctor-to-doctor sales and DSO deals, including when a smaller practice may be better suited for a private buyer and when a larger, multi-provider practice may benefit from exploring the DSO route. They also discuss why younger dentists are selling earlier than previous generations, how inflation and staffing pressures are impacting EBITDA, and what sellers need to understand about cash at close, deal structure, platform opportunities, strategic buyers, and recap potential. Brannon also emphasizes the importance of having the right sell-side advisor to avoid bad actors, protect long-term outcomes, and make sure the deal aligns with the doctor's personal and professional goals.
