Buyer-Side Dental Practice Purchase Representation
The broker works for the seller. We work only for you.
Built To Own is a CPA-led advocate for dentists buying a practice. Before you sign, borrow, or close, we tell you what the practice is really worth, what you'll actually take home, and what to negotiate.
The Built to Own Process
Our team helps you with 5 stages of the purchase
Practice Search
We help you evaluate opportunities before you emotionally commit. Which listings are worth your time, which are priced on hope, and which markets support the income you need.
- Opportunity screening
- Market & demographic review
- Broker package analysis
Buying a practice is the biggest check most dentists ever write... usually with the least help.
Every other party at the table is paid on the transaction closing. We are the only advisor whose job is to tell you when it shouldn't.
What Buyers Actually Ask
Am I overpaying?
Broker packages are marketing documents. We rebuild earnings from source data and tell you what the practice is defensibly worth.
Can I actually afford it?
Price is not affordability. We model debt service, owner pay and reserves to show what the deal leaves in your pocket.
What's hidden in the numbers?
Add-backs, payer mix, hygiene dependency, lease exposure and staffing risk — the items that reprice deals in diligence.
What should I negotiate?
Every deal has three or four terms that matter more than price. We tell you which ones, and what to trade.
Most valuations tell you what a practice is worth. We tell you what YOU will take home.

The broker's package said the practice earned $410,000. Built to Own rebuilt the numbers and showed me $286,000. We repriced the deal by $180,000 and I still bought it.
