How It Works

What this calculator actually tells you

This calculator provides a directional estimate based on your EBITDA, then adjusts the range based on payer mix, operatories, practice age, and transition terms. A real DSO valuation also considers location, specialty, financial cleanliness, growth capacity, lease terms, and buyer appetite.

Important: This is not a formal appraisal or offer. It is a starting point to help dental practice owners understand potential buyer appetite before entering conversations. The number you see is just a baseline — structure determines what you actually take home.

What can increase valuation

  • Strong adjusted EBITDA and stable margins
  • Low Medicaid or balanced payer mix
  • Multiple operatories with room for growth
  • Clean financials and clear production reporting
  • Owner willingness to stay through transition
  • Long established practice with loyal patient base

What can reduce buyer appetite

  • High provider dependency on one doctor
  • Messy financials or unclear add-backs
  • High Medicaid or capitation-heavy payer mix
  • Limited chairs or no growth capacity
  • Owner seeking immediate exit without transition
  • Short practice history or unstable collections

Common questions

Is this a formal dental practice valuation?

No. It is a directional estimate. A formal valuation requires deeper financial review, buyer appetite analysis, and market-specific diligence. This calculator helps you understand where you stand before entering conversations.

Do DSOs value collections or EBITDA?

Both matter, but serious DSO buyers focus primarily on adjusted EBITDA. Collections give context but EBITDA, growth potential, specialty, location, payer mix, and transition risk drive the actual offer.

Does Medicaid reduce valuation?

Higher Medicaid can reduce buyer appetite with some DSOs but not all. Medicaid-specialist groups view it as stable government-backed revenue. The right buyer pool depends on your full practice profile.

What does cash at closing mean?

Most DSO deals pay approximately 70–80% of the sale price at closing as cash. The remaining 20–30% is held in escrow or as equity rollover, released over 12–18 months. The calculator shows you both figures.
