The years of taking courses, going to lectures, and completing hundreds of hours of internship, are finally finished. The degrees are framed and ready to go on a wall, a career is in the making and the desire for a private practice calls. All that is left to do is get started. There are a few choices available. One is to partner with an already established dentist. That will help with gaining experience, building a client base, and providing time to save enough money to go solo. That will be the least expensive option, but may not suit individual style, preferences, needs, or desires.
The second choice is to start from the very beginning. Finding or building a new space is the first step. That will entail a real estate agent, or contractor, a business loan, a lot of time, and a large amount of money. Then there is support staff, assistants, and a dental hygienist to advertise for, interview, hire, and train. Shopping for equipment is next, and that will cost more time and money. Then there is office furniture, computers, phones, waiting room tables and chairs, supplies, decor, and advertising. So far a fortune has been spent, months and months have gone by, and not one patient has been seen yet. There are sure to be many other expenditures that haven’t even been considered, such as payroll services, security, setting up utilities, purchasing all the insurances, and planning a grand opening event.
The third option is to purchase one of several Dental Practices For Sale in California. That entails one payment for the space, furniture, and equipment, so expenses are easier to budget and manage. It provides an established patient base, so revenue is all but guaranteed. Some patients will leave a practice when a dentist moves or retires, but most patients stay put because they are familiar with the location, and it is obviously convenient. Patients are also used to the support staff and assistants. Personnel is one less thing to worry about since they will already be hired and trained.
