In today's ever-evolving dental market, understanding the true value of a dental practice and charting a strategic exit is more critical than ever. Many dentists, not just those nearing the twilight of their careers, remain unaware of their practice's genuine worth. The risk? Overlooking the genuine worth of one's practice, the issues of succession and exit planning could spell the difference between crafting a robust legacy with generational wealth and seeing a once-prosperous practice wither on the vine.
