The Value of a Stronger Margin

What happens when you improve practice margins? The impact on practice value can be dramatic.

While not every dental practice can achieve a 20% EBITDA margin, many practices today exceed 30%—and most Invisible DSO partner practices target 25% EBITDA.

As this example shows, two practices with the same $2.5M in collections can have dramatically different outcomes based on profitability and transition structure.

Better margins = greater practice value.

At LPS, we help practice owners understand what drives value and how to position their practice for a successful transition. To learn more, visit largepracticesales.com.

What Makes a Dental Practice Valuable?

Through our experience advising dental practice owners, we’ve seen firsthand what institutional investors look for when evaluating a practice and what can make one practice significantly more valuable than another.

Four factors consistently stand out:

- EBITDA: Typically $400,000+ after doctor compensation.
- Collections: $1.8M+ for general practices and $1.5M+ for specialists.
- Growth: Consistent year-over-year increases in EBITDA.
- Doctor age: Younger doctors, or older doctors with younger associates, can be especially attractive to investors.

The takeaway? Practice value isn’t just about how much you collect; it’s about profitability, growth and the strength of the practice for the future.

At LPS, we help practice owners understand what drives value and identify opportunities to maximize it—well before a transition is on the horizon. To learn more, visit largepracticesales.com.

DSO vs. Invisible DSO: What’s the Difference?

Is going it alone still the best strategy for dental practice owners in 2026? Rising costs, rapid technology changes, and shifting referral networks are putting new pressure on independent practices.

The right Invisible DSO partnership can provide the capital, technology, and support to stay competitive while maintaining clinical autonomy and creating opportunities for long-term wealth. Independence doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

What Is a Dental Trifecta® and why are so many doctors and investors building them?

A Dental Trifecta® links pediatric, ortho, and oral surgery practices in the same region to form a mutually beneficial referral network under one IDSO. Practices are not merged, but instead create lasting referral relationships benefitting all doctors individually and through their equity ownership in the IDSO.

The result:
• Protected referral sources
• Increased new patient flow
• Stronger profitability and higher equity value

It’s a structure that’s as defensive as it is opportunistic — and LPS has helped design them coast to coast.
