Our Mission. Our Focus.
LPS Clients achieve the highest practice values and net proceeds due to our proven, proprietary bidding process.
Doctors who are considering selling a dental practice may want to consider the far higher value possible, in an Invisible Dental Service Organization (IDSO) partnership. Practice values in an IDSO partnership can be 2x and 3x the values of a traditional sale to a doctor or a traditional DSO. Not all practices will qualify for an IDSO partnership, but those that do can achieve extraordinary values.
More importantly, LPS guides clients to the quality IDSOs which will provide their doctor partners with full autonomy, not just clinical autonomy. Your practice, your decisions!
Expert Advisors
LPS specializes in advising larger dental practice doctors on monetizing a part of their life’s work through an IDSO partnership. LPS has 30+ team members focused only on IDSO partnerships. LPS is by far the largest advisor in the dental industry due to the high values achieved for clients in hundreds of IDSO partnerships since 2016.
Unlike the little advisors, LPS is only paid by our client doctors, not the IDSOs. Our only clients are dentists. No vet, medspa, optometry or other provider based-practices.
Wealth Building
In the last 36 months, LPS has completed IDSO partnerships valued at over $150,000,000 for owner doctors in their 30’s. Since the onset of COVID, thousands of doctors under 50 have chosen IDSO partnerships as a part of their long-term wealth building strategy. Doctors today should have a plan to monetize their practice value long before they approach 60+ as doctors with the longest future careers are most valuable in IDSO Partnerships.
IDSO Partnership
When doctors choose the right IDSO partner, it can create far more value over time than remaining independent. IDSOs have created billions of dollars in value for their investors and thousands of doctors over the last 35 years. LPS has completed billions of dollars of IDSO partnerships for hundreds of doctors in dozens of states over the last nine years.
What Is an IDSO?
Ownership and Full Autonomy, Not Just Clinical Autonomy
Invisible Dental Support Organizations (IDSO) become a doctor’s silent partner by purchasing 51% to 80% of a practice for cash at today’s low tax rates. Doctors continue to lead their practice as owners with their brand, team, strategy and full autonomy for years or decades. lDSO partner practices benefit from the resources of their larger partner to grow bigger, faster, more profitably and with fewer administration headaches.
Dental Trifecta
A smart defensive strategy that protects and insulates your practice from competitors
A Dental Trifecta® is created when LPS assembles pediatric, orthodontic and OMS practice clients in the same region and partner them with a single IDSO. Practices are not merged but instead create lasting referral relationships benefiting all doctors individually and through their equity ownership in the IDSO. This short and long-term practice value enhancing process was created by and is available only to LPS clients. It increases the initial and long-term values of our pedo, ortho, and OMS clients nationally. When an IDSO partners with the right practices in a region, we’ve proven that rapid internal growth is created, increasing profitability at both the practice and the parent IDSO. The highest value recapitalization in the IDSO industry was completed for a Dental Trifecta IDSO at 20x EBITDA.
Who We Serve
LPS Exclusively Represents Dentists, both GP and All Specialists
While GP practices represent the largest number of IDSO partners by far, the specialty IDSOs are the fastest growing and most acquisitive. In the last five years, over 50 specialty only IDSOs have been formed to partner with larger specialty practices.
General Practice Dentists
GPs attract the highest number of qualified IDSO bidders. LPS has completed over $250,000,000 GP/IDSO partnerships in the last 36 months. We help clients navigate the complexities of dental practice transitions and maximize their outcomes.
Orthodontists
High values for growing ortho practices continue to surprise doctors. LPS has completed over $250,000,000 ortho/lDSO partnerships in the last 36 months, some at above 12x EBITDA.
Oral Surgeons
LPS has completed over $300,000,000 IDSO partnerships for OMS in the last 36 months. OMS is the fastest consolidating practice type today due to recruiting challenges nationally.
Pediatric Dental Specialists
LPS has completed hundreds of millions of dollars of pedo/IDSO partnerships for clients with multi-specialty IDSOs, Pedo, Pedortho and Dental Trifecta IDSOs at record values. Pedo and pedortho practices achieve the highest values today with some exceeding 11x EBITDA.
Endodontists
There are multiple Endo-only IDSOs seeking partners across the U.S. They are competing with the multi-specialty and Surgical Trifecta IDSOs for growing Endo practices nationally.
Periodontists
In the last (5) years, LPS has partnered our multiple periodontic clients with multi-specialty buyers. Today, there are also now several Perio-only IDSOs seeking great partners nationally. Perio practices are also valuable to the Dental Surgical Trifecta IDSOs (perio, Endo and OMS) as well as the growing number of implant focused IDSOs.
Prosthodontists
Prosth practices with multiple doctors are particularly valuable to the multi-specialty IDSOs and in some cases to the IDSOs focused on implant and ALL on X procedures.
