Still Love Dentistry? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Own Your Practice Forever
If you still love the clinical side of dentistry, you’re not alone.
Many of the most successful practice owners say they’re not ready to walk away from patients, their team, or the work itself.
“Thanks to the hard work and expertise provided by Practice Endeavors, I was able to sell my dental practice for a great price and transition smoothly to the next chapter of my career. After the closing, I felt like the weight of the world was off my shoulders. I just go into work now, put my time in, and go home. Having sold the practice and the real estate, I no longer risk burdening my family with business matters nor risk erasing the value of my practice with an unexpected event.”
– Joe Marcius, DDS | Akron
“Although I may be a long way off from selling my practice, I found the Practice Value Acceleration service to be invaluable in several ways. PVA identified weaknesses in my practice that I can work on, personal factors that I need to consider and what I might reasonably expect to receive when selling my practice and real estate. I now have a plan in place if something unforeseen happens to me and a plan in place whenever I decide to transition out.”
- SW Ohio Practice Owner
Here’s the truth: Loving dentistry doesn’t mean you should own your practice forever. Why?
Because owning and operating a practice in the later stages of your career comes with silent risks:
It’s common to overlook simple management changes that could save you time and money
An unexpected event in your life could cause a loss of practice value of 90% in 3 months
Staff and patients are left without clear direction if something were to happen to you
And worst of all—you may lose control over the legacy you’ve built
That’s why our company quietly assists dentists like you to begin preparing now—even if you plan to keep working for years. There’s no pressure to sell your practice. No deadlines. Just smart steps that protect your life’s work, while giving you more options for the future. We call this service Practice Value Acceleration℠, or PVA℠. It’s a proprietary service of our company, Practice Endeavors, LLC.
