Dental Practice
If you own a dental practice, the acquisition market just picked back up. Dental M&A activity rebounded in the first half of 2026, with at least 175 practice locations sold to dental support organizations (DSOs) and private equity groups, and 69% of DSOs surveyed expect to meaningfully increase acquisition activity through the rest of the year.
This edition of Industry Insights breaks down what's driving that renewed demand, how DSO and private equity buyers evaluate a practice, and what separates a premium valuation from an average one.
Inside the analysis:
- Why DSO and private equity buyer demand for dental practices picked back up in 2026, and what that means for owners weighing an exit
- How hygiene production and recurring patient visits factor into a buyer's view of your practice's earnings quality
- What buyers look at when assessing provider concentration, associate-led revenue, and how dependent the practice is on the owner
- How practice size and multi-location scale affect the valuation range your practice can realistically expect, a factor best assessed through a formal business valuation.
