What’s Your Dental Practice Worth?
Dental labs and practices have different valuation models, but both share a key truth: your systems, people, and recurring revenue matter more than your top-line number.
Recent Valuation Ranges:
| Business Type | Valuation Range | Key Drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Dental Labs (SDE-based) | 2.5x–3.5x SDE | Premium for digital workflows, consistent accounts, and staff longevity |
| General Dental Practices | 3.0x–4.5x EBITDA or % of collections | High valuations for practices with hygiene programs and associate dentists |
| Multi-Location Groups | 4.5x–6.5x EBITDA | Strong interest from DSOs and private buyers seeking scale |
💡 Labs and practices with cloud-based software, billing systems, and recurring referral relationships are commanding stronger multiples than ever before.
