Independent guidance for dentists buying a practice.

Helping private dental practice thrive.

Buying a practice, selling independently, or finding the right associate opportunity can shape the future of private dentistry. Practice Directions helps dentists navigate those decisions with experienced guidance, practical tools, and clear information.

We place a special emphasis on buyers because acquiring a practice is complicated—and buyers need experienced help understanding the numbers, evaluating risks, and navigating the process.

For independent sellers and practices hiring associates, we provide broker-level listing tools and marketing support without requiring a full brokerage engagement.

A mission centered on private practice.

Private practice gives dentists the opportunity to build something of their own: a clinical environment, a team, and a business that reflects their priorities.

Practice Directions supports that independence from several directions. We help buyers make informed acquisition decisions, give owners practical support for managing their own sale, and help practices and associates connect around clearly presented opportunities.

The advisory relationship is with the buyer—no dual agency, and advisory fees that do not increase with the purchase price. Our owner-facing listing services are separate: assistance with preparation and marketing, not seller representation or management of the transaction.

Buying a practice? Get experienced help on your side.

Buying a dental practice involves more than deciding whether the asking price looks reasonable. Cash flow, staffing, financing, the lease, clinical fit, and the terms of the transaction all affect what ownership will mean for you.

Practice Directions brings those pieces into a clearer picture, helping you ask better questions, recognize risks, and decide how to move forward.

How It Works

Start with your goals and where you are in the process. From early analysis to offer decisions, due diligence, and transition planning, the level of support should fit the decision in front of you.

Selling your practice independently—with better tools and support.

Selling your dental practice as a for sale by owner (FSBO) doesn’t have to mean preparing everything alone.

Practice Directions gives independent owners access to broker-level listing tools, assisted preparation, and marketing support—without committing to a full brokerage engagement.

The FSBO package includes:

• Assisted preparation of your public listing and, where applicable, a Confidential Practice Summary.
• Document-organization guidance.
• A PracticEstimate educational price-range report—not a formal valuation.
• One consolidated revision round before your approval.
• An initial three-calendar-month listing period beginning when your approved listing is published.

You approve the content before publication and remain the primary point of contact and decision-maker for buyer conversations and your sale.

This service is designed for owners who want support presenting their practice but are comfortable taking the lead in the transaction.

Find the right associate fit—or present your opportunity clearly.

The right associate relationship starts with a clear understanding of the position and the practice.

For practice owners, Practice Directions provides assisted preparation and publication of associate opportunities, helping explain the role, practice environment, compensation structure, and any genuine path toward ownership.

For associates, clear opportunity descriptions make it easier to understand what a position offers and whether it fits your clinical interests and longer-term goals.

Both conventional associate positions and ownership-track opportunities have a place here. An ownership pathway is described only when it is actually part of the offering.

Experienced judgment. A practical understanding of dentistry.

Practice Directions is led by Corey Young, a former practicing dentist, dental practice broker, and Certified Valuation Analyst.

Corey combines practical knowledge of dental operations with financial analysis and an organized acquisition process to help buyers understand opportunities, identify risks, and make informed decisions.

That same understanding of dental practice helps independent owners present their practices and associate opportunities with greater clarity—while preserving the distinction between buyer advisory and owner-facing listing support.

Understand the decisions before you make them.

Practice ownership comes with questions that don’t always have simple answers. Practice Directions’ resources help you think through the financial, operational, and professional decisions involved in buying and owning a dental practice.
