As a young dentist who is ready to sink your teeth into owning your own practice, jumping into business with yourself may be very tempting. Just remember, you should always look before you leap. Here are four questions I have found that many dentists overlook before pulling the trigger when buying a dental practice:

Young dentists know a lot about teeth — taking care of them, repairing them, making them look beautiful. What these young professionals don’t know a lot about is running a successful business. If this describes you, don’t worry; help is available! Let’s say you’re fresh out of residency and you just bought your own practice. (Finding and purchasing a dental practice is another process you shouldn’t tackle without guidance). Our team has helped many young dentists get off on the right foot so we have worked with dentists like you. You don’t need to wade into the business world without guidance, and there’s no reason why you should.
