So you want to buy a dental practice

The decision to buy a dental practice is the most important one in a young dentists professional career and should be made only after a careful examination and review of the seller's practice. Usually the buyer is 35 years or younger, married with children, dental school loans of anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000, and little or no net worth. The practice this dentist purchases will have an impact on the kind of professional he or she is, and will also have a lasting effect on the dentist's quality of life and that of his or her entire family. Areas requiring examination are examined here, along with the need for a due diligence review prior to purchase.
