Dental Practice Acquisition: How Ideal Practices Can Make Your Dream a Reality

If you're a dentist dreaming of opening your own practice, you're not alone.

At Ideal Practices, we’ve helped hundreds of dentists turn that dream into a thriving reality. We understand the deep-seated passion that drives you. But we also know this truth: passion alone won’t get you there.

That’s where we come in.

As leaders in dental startup consulting, our job is to provide the expert support and step-by-step guidance you need to launch your own successful practice—with clarity and confidence.

Our team at Ideal Practices is fully dedicated to helping dentists become business owners. Yes, you’ve been trained in clinical excellence—but what about the business side? That’s where our Startup MBA program and our team of dental startup specialists come into play.

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest members of our Startup MBA team: Jodi Martin and Deana Zost, who join Liz in supporting dentists as Startup MBA Advisors. Together, they bring passion, wisdom, and boots-on-the-ground experience to help you launch the right way.

We’re also proud to share that Stacey Peters has taken on the role of Director of Startup MBA.

The Startup MBA Program

Our Startup MBA Program was created specifically to teach the business side of dentistry—everything from systems and protocols to leadership and management. These are the behind-the-scenes essentials that make or break your practice, both before and after opening day.

Our goal is to help you understand and lead every role in your practice, so that for the first year (before hiring a practice manager), you’re fully equipped to run a smooth and successful business. That kind of understanding makes you a stronger leader—and gives your practice the solid footing it needs.

Through the Startup MBA Program, you'll learn how to:

• Create efficient and productive schedules

• Develop and implement office protocols and SOPs

• Master phone scripts and communication systems

• Understand dental coding and insurance processes

• Offer payment options and financing for all patients

• Build a welcoming, professional office environment

• Lead daily morning huddles and team meetings

• Manage employee benefits, PTO, time tracking, and more

• Establish and communicate your mission and vision

• Prepare for your grand opening with confidence
