Valuation secrets of dentistry’s next titans

The dental groups achieving standout valuations aren’t just growing faster, they’re growing smarter.

Behind every premium multiple is a set of strategic decisions made including:

• How revenue is structured
• How patient value is protected
• How operational risk is reduced
• How future buyers view the quality of earnings

In this session, Andy Sloan will unpack what really drives valuation at the top end of the dental market. Drawing on first-hand experience across acquisitions, scaling groups, and working with ambitious operators, Andy will share insight into the long-term value levers buyers care about most, and what owners can do now to future-proof their valuation, whether an exit is 2 years or 10 years away.

If you’re building a group, preparing for private equity interest, or simply want optionality in the future, this session will challenge how you think about growth, risk, and value creation in dentistry.
