The importance of the dentist-patient/client relationship makes the dental practice purchase/sale unique compared with other business transactions. Dental practice goodwill can be easily lost, but establishing mutual trust between purchaser and vendor can lead to a win-win transaction through maximizing practice goodwill and minimizing associated taxes. Tax planning for the purchase/sale is complex, and, although this article has provided some basic information, professional advice is recommended.

Many dentists are unaware whether their dental practices are profitable businesses. A method to assess dental practice profitability, by determining percentage return on investment (% ROI), is described. The method involves analyzing and adjusting prepared financial statements for a practice, estimating the fair market value of the practitioner's professional and managerial efforts in the practice, and estimating the fair market value of the practice assets. Interpretation of the % ROI determination is discussed.
