What is my dental practice worth?

If you want to sell your dental practice, there are various structures you can enter into with the buyer, and the deal’s structure can be more important than the final purchase price itself. At Dental Elite, we will work with you and your solicitor to guide the sale and ensure that all aspects of the transaction run smoothly.

Our free dental practice valuation report is a practice health check with a difference. It includes a more in-depth analysis of your dental practice as well as useful advice on how your valuation could be higher if you were to implement certain changes. Factors taken into account here may include your patient base, practice location, and staffing costs. We will also review your current CQC registration to ensure that it matches your trading structure, so that there aren’t unnecessary delays in any transaction when it happens.

We have been completing practice health checks since our inception and are now selling a number of these practices for a much higher price. This is in a large part because the market has improved, but also because the practices we work with have improved their EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) by growing their income or saving on running expenses. This would have increased the value of their dental businesses, even if the status quo had remained the same.

As every practice is different, every valuation report is different. Each one offers a thorough snapshot of your business’s health and also what price you could achieve on the market. This useful report doesn’t just cover financial issues but also tries to pick up on factors affecting a potential sale, such as the associates, the lease, the NHS, the yield, and the likely sale structure in terms of deferred consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental practice valution?

A dental practice valuation is a comprehensive report that details the value of a dental practice. It is carried out by experienced dental valuers and takes into account numerous factors that can affect a practice’s value, such as its location, financial performance, and growth potential, as well as the practice type and current market conditions. A valuable document for various stakeholders, it helps vendors to understand the worth of their practice while providing clarity on the value of the business’s assets for the buyer, which can be both tangible (property, equipment, and supplies) and intangible (reputation, staff, patient loyalty, and more). Valuations are also used by banks and lenders to determine whether the practice is valuable enough for them to lend the requested amount of money. Only by working with experienced dental brokers or valuers can you ensure a thorough, unbiased valuation of your dental practice.

How do you determine the value of a dental practice?

At Dental Elite, the value of your dental practice will be determined by a multiple of either its EBITDA or Principal-Led Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT), a metric that reflects the true operating performance and profitability of the practice. To calculate your EBITDA, the valuer will need to know your annual turnover, NHS contract value, UDA value, average associate fees, and other costs such as staff, rent, materials, and lab bills. The EBITDA / FMT is then multiplied by a factor determined by the current market to achieve an initial valuation. Read our full article on the science and art behind dental practice valuations to find out more about our valuation methods.

How do you value dental practice goodwill?

Every six months, we release an update on the market for the goodwill of dental practices, including full KPI data in the May version. Fill out the form on our Goodwill Survey page, and we will send our updated Goodwill Report as soon as it is released.

"We chose Dental Elite over other companies due to the team being approachable, knowledgeable and caring. Julie Randle was our initial and main point of contact throughout the process; from creating the package, liaising with potential buyers, and updating us through the early stages. Carl Wetton assisted us during the latter stages, from a financial point, which proved effective and very worthwhile for us. Another big bonus was that in the last few days before completion, Julie reviewed the figures and, due to an increase in EBITDA, successfully added another 8% on to the agreed price! We would highly recommend Dental Elite to other practices who are considering a sale."
Amy Hill
“Phil Kolodynski was very efficient. He gathered information so that he could provide a valuation range, which was surprisingly attractive at almost double what I had thought it would be worth. Dental Elite put a presentation together and already had a list of buyer clients in mind. Within a couple of weeks, we had four viewings, followed by three offers – one of which we accepted. Dental Elite provided a lot of support throughout the entire process, and after completion. This helped to ensure that I received the full payment. I would definitely recommend Dental Elite to others. If you’re considering selling, get a valuation with them – it may make your mind up for you about whether to proceed!"
Jonny Swift
“My experience working with Phil and Carl was very positive, they were both professional, helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me the ultimate confidence from the get-go, which is definitely what you need when you’ve got someone managing the sale. “I certainly would recommend Dental Elite's services to others – They were excellent!”
Michelle Bates
“Dental Elite were so professional, knew their numbers and had dealt with similar sales situations like mine before. They filled me with confidence. They also had the invaluable experience and contacts needed for a smooth process. It was an amazing experience. Phil Kolodynski immediately understood my requirements and was always at the end of the phone, day or night, weekend or even on holiday! I was very happy with the deal he achieved. If you’re thinking of selling, don’t think twice – use Dental Elite!”
Pujan Soni
“We chose Dental Elite after we initially had the practice on sale with another agent who had overvalued the practice. I worked with Phil Kolodynski then Carl Wetton. They were both highly professional and helped guide us through the sales process.”
