What Drives the Sale Price of a Los Angeles Dental Practice
New Patient Flow
Practices adding 20+ new patients/month consistently command premium multiples; declining new patient counts trigger discounts.
Insurance Mix
Lower PPO write-offs and higher fee-for-service or premium-PPO mix push multiples up.
Active Patient Count
Charts seen in the last 18 months — not your full database — is what buyers actually pay for.
Real Estate Attached
If you own the building, valuations split into goodwill + RE; lease assignability matters when leasing.
Associate Coverage
Buyers pay more for practices where associates produce 30%+ of collections — proves transferability.
