Dentist Clinics for sale in Canada

Check provincial ownership and shareholding rules before choosing a share transaction. A dentistry professional corporation, practitioner licence and certificate of authorization may be restricted to qualified dentists and cannot be assumed transferable.

Follow the provincial dental regulator's process for changing practice ownership. Define the new health-information custodian, patient notice, access rights, secure transfer and retention responsibilities separately from the commercial purchase of goodwill.

Reconcile deposits, prepaid plans, laboratory cases, warranties and treatment already billed but not completed. Estimate the clinical time and external lab cost still required, then allocate responsibility in the purchase agreement.

Age receivables by insurer and patient, inspect rejected claims, predeterminations, refunds and adjustments, and confirm provider enrolment. Exclude amounts tied to unsupported codes or work not documented in the clinical record.

Review chairs, sterilizers, imaging systems, compressors and software by serial number. Check ownership, service, validation and radiation approvals, plus active Health Canada device licences where applicable, before accepting the equipment valuation.

Analyze active patients, recall intervals, hygiene reappointment, treatment acceptance and attrition by dentist. Separate goodwill linked to the location and team from patients who primarily attend for the selling clinician.
