8 Factors That Actually Move the Needle
Each factor is weighted based on actual sales outcomes — not assumptions or national averages.
Annual Collections
Your revenue is the foundation of your practice's market multiple.
Insurance & Payer Mix
FFS practices command premium multiples over PPO and HMO-heavy practices.
Location & Market
ZIP-code-specific buyer demand and multiples for your exact area.
Real Estate
When you own the real estate, it adds a premium to practice value.
Revenue Trend
Growing practices earn valuation premiums. Declining revenue gets discounted.
Practice Specialty
GP, pediatric, ortho, perio — each specialty has unique valuation dynamics.
Team & Production
Hygiene programs and associate-ready infrastructure add measurable value.
Growth Potential
Room for expansion signals untapped value and commands premium pricing.
Are you in a buyers or sellers market?
Record buyer demand and limited inventory are contributing to premium multiples in the hottest markets. But in other areas, it's harder to find the right buyer.

What Dentists Are Saying
"I would recommend IPS 100%. While I will never own a practice again, anyone looking to buy or sell I would send to IPS every time."
"Their communication and professionalism is top notch, and I feel good that my patients are in great hands with their new dentist."
"If you’re thinking about selling your practice, get off the fence and place your trust in brokers who provide more than the more conventional do."
How Much Is My Dental Practice Worth?
If you're a dentist considering a transition — whether retirement, relocation, or simply exploring your options — the first question is always the same: "What is my practice actually worth?"
Traditional rules of thumb suggest dental practices sell for 60–80% of annual collections. While that provides a rough starting point, it ignores the factors that actually drive your number: payer mix, location, real estate, revenue trajectory, and current buyer demand in your specific market.
Professional valuations typically use one of three methods. Collection multiples are the most common for dental — they compare your annual collections against recent comparable sales. Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) calculates what the practice earns after adding back owner compensation. EBITDA-based analysis is increasingly used for larger practices and DSO acquisitions.
The problem with generic formulas is that they treat every practice the same. A fee-for-service practice in a high-demand market will command a dramatically different multiple than an HMO-heavy practice in an oversaturated metro — even if their collections are identical.
That's exactly why we built this calculator. Instead of national averages, our valuation engine analyzes 11 key factors against data from 574+ actual practice sales to calculate a range specific to your practice, your specialty, and your market. It's not a guess — it's a data-driven starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my dental practice worth?
Practice values typically range from 60–100% of annual collections, but the real answer depends on your payer mix, location, specialty, revenue trends, and dozens of other factors. Our calculator analyzes 8 key variables against 574+ real sales to give you a personalized range — not a generic estimate.
How accurate is this calculator?
Our calculator provides a reliable range based on real transaction data and 8 adjustment factors. Most practices fall within the estimated range once all factors are evaluated in a full appraisal. Think of it as an informed starting point — significantly more accurate than rules of thumb and better than most other dental practice valuation calculators online.
How different is this from other calculators?
Most online calculators use national averages and 1–2 basic inputs. Ours uses real transaction data from 574+ practice sales, analyzes 8 personalized factors including payer mix and real estate, and provides ZIP-code-specific multiples. You also get a full report with production benchmarks, market intelligence, and demographic data.
Is my information confidential?
100% confidential. We never share your data or disclose that a practice is for sale without your explicit approval. All prospective buyers sign NDAs. Your staff, patients, and community won't know until you're ready.
What factors increase my practice value?
The biggest value drivers are: high fee-for-service revenue mix, owned real estate (53% premium on average), growing revenue trends, strong hygiene programs, modern equipment, transferable leases, and location in high-demand markets. Our calculator evaluates these factors to show which are working for you and where there's room to grow.
Does this cost anything?
No. The calculator is completely free with no obligation. No credit card, no login, no strings attached. Get your valuation and decide what to do next on your own terms.
Should I get a full appraisal before I sell?
Yes. While our calculator gives you an excellent starting point, a full valuation considers additional factors like lease terms, equipment condition, staff contracts, and comparable recent sales. We offer complimentary consultations to discuss your situation and determine the best path forward.
What if I'm not ready to sell?
That's perfectly fine — most users are 1–5 years out. A valuation gives you a baseline to plan around and identifies areas where you can increase value before listing. There's zero obligation.
