Dental practice succession hiring.

A succession hire is judged on a horizon no ordinary search uses. The candidate has to be someone the patients accept, the team follows, and the owner can hand the keys to — and that is usually clear only after two or three years in the chair together.

Best for an owner planning an exit or a partnership several years out.

What we weigh

  • Whether they want ownership, or only say so because it is on offer
  • Chairside manner against a patient base that chose the current owner
  • Whether the team would follow them, tested before the transition depends on it
  • Financial readiness for a buy-in, and a realistic timeline for it

How the search runs

  • Associate-to-partner and associate-to-owner tracks, scoped to your timeline
  • Culture and vision profiling of the practice before candidates are approached
  • Structured so the fit is proven in the chair before anything is signed
  • Backed by the same one-year placement guarantee

The guarantee

Backed for a full year.

If a placement leaves within the first year, we step back in to find a replacement at best effort, at no additional charge.
