Thinking of selling your dental practice to a DSO? Don't make the $900,000 mistake! In this video, we break down the hidden traps in dental practice valuations, the truth about DSO multiples (EBITDA), and how deal structures can eat away your profits.

If you are a dental practice owner in Austin, Texas, or anywhere else preparing for an exit, you need to understand how these deals actually work. 

We cover: 

• The "Headline Multiple Myth" and why EBITDA isn't the whole story. 

• How Employment Agreements, Earnouts, and MSA fees shrink your final payout. 

• What DSOs actually look for: minimizing risk and maximizing predictability. 

• 3 ways to increase the value of your dental practice before you sell. 

• What to do with your dental real estate.

Whether you're planning to retire or transition your practice, learn how to protect your payout and build a turnkey operation that buyers will fight over.
