Independent guidance for dentists buying a practice — and practical tools for owners selling on their own.
Practice Directions is built around the buyer’s decision. The advisory relationship is with the buyer, but the platform also gives independent owners structured tools to list a practice, organize documents, and present an opportunity more credibly. The goal on both sides of the table is a better-informed, better-organized transaction.
From the first practice you consider through due diligence and early ownership, the goal is the same: help you make a better decision, with better information, and a more organized process.
Help for buyers at every stage.
Whether you are just starting to look or preparing to sign an LOI, there is a clear way to work together.
Deep Dive Analysis
A one-practice financial and valuation review before you commit. You get an independent second set of eyes on the numbers, a grounded value range, practical cash-flow commentary, and a written summary plus review call.
Full Buyer Representation
Hands-on support from target practice through LOI, due diligence, and early transition planning. This includes structured analyses, offer thinking, coordination with your attorney, CPA, and lender, and an organized due diligence and rollout process.
How It Works
A simple, staged process: initial conversation, early analysis, offer and LOI posture, due diligence coordination, and first-90-days transition planning, tailored to where you are in the journey.
Built on the ground.
The advisory model is built on direct, in-the-room experience with dental practice sales, valuations, and operations. If you are evaluating a practice — wherever it is — get in touch and we’ll talk through whether the engagement fits.
Listings and tools for both sides of the table.
The platform supports a structured classifieds board for buyers and a separate, self-service path for independent owners who want to list and present their own practice.
For buyers
- Active listings for practices and associate opportunities, with new opportunities added as inventory grows.
- Standardized listing information and organized document folders so you can review opportunities efficiently.
- A clear path from a listing of interest into a Deep Dive Analysis or full engagement.
For owners selling on their own
Owners selling without a broker get a structured way to list and present their practice. The List a Practice flow includes a credible-listing template, document organization guidance, an optional value estimator, and a path to qualified buyers — all designed so a well-run private listing competes with a brokered one.
Education that makes ownership feel more manageable.
Complex transitions are easier when the path is explained clearly. The Resources section brings together the Dental Practice Buying Playbook, practical guides, articles, and answers to common questions, all aimed at helping dentists see a realistic path into ownership.
Why dentists work with Practice Directions.
Practice Directions is led by Corey Young, a former practicing dentist, dental practice broker, and CVA credentialed valuation professional. The advisory model combines front-end judgment on practice quality and pricing with increasingly systematized, AI-assisted workflows for due diligence, credentialing, and early transition work, so your decision is driven by both experience and organized process.
- The advisory relationship is with the buyer — no dual agency, no commission incentive to push a deal through.
- Clear service tiers and transparent pricing.
- Deep familiarity with real-world practice operations and lender expectations.
