Local Expertise, Personalized Service
As the founder of Copper Dental Transitions, I specialize in helping dentists in Phoenix successfully buy and sell practices. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, growing into multiple locations, or purchasing your first practice, my goal is to guide you through the process with clarity and confidence.
Phoenix is where I started my brokerage career, and I understand the unique opportunities and challenges that come with transitioning a practice in this fast-growing metro. Every practice is different, and I believe every dentist deserves more than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. That’s why I work directly with you to create a plan tailored to your goals.
Why Work With a Dental Broker in Phoenix?
Selling or buying a dental practice involves far more than signing a purchase agreement. There are valuations, financial reviews, marketing strategies, lease negotiations, and financing to coordinate. In Phoenix, the landscape has its own specific factors:
Rapid population growth – The Valley continues to attract families and young professionals, fueling demand for dental services across the metro.
Neighborhood variations – Practices in Scottsdale, Chandler, and North Phoenix may attract a different buyer pool than those in Glendale, Mesa, or the West Valley.
Competitive market – Phoenix has seen growth in both private buyers and DSOs, creating unique dynamics for sellers deciding how to position their practice.
Real estate considerations – Many practices operate in medical plazas or retail centers where lease terms and landlord approvals can heavily influence deal success.
By understanding these factors and how they affect practice value, I help sellers maximize results and buyers enter ownership with confidence.
My Process for Phoenix Dentists
I use a clear, step-by-step process designed to keep transitions organized and stress-free:
Practice Valuation – I conduct an in-depth review of financials, production reports, hygiene/doctor split, and local comparables to determine fair market value.
Preparation & Marketing – I build a professional practice profile that highlights your strengths and present it confidentially to qualified buyers.
Buyer Screening – Before releasing sensitive details, I make sure potential buyers are financially pre-qualified and a good fit.
Letter of Intent (LOI) – I negotiate terms that protect you on price, contingencies, and timelines.
Due Diligence & Financing – I coordinate with banks, CPAs, and attorneys to ensure financing, legal, and financial reviews stay on track.
Closing & Transition – From signing agreements to introducing new owners to staff, I help create a smooth handoff for patients and teams.
This process is built on transparency, communication, and keeping your goals front and center.
Who I Work With in Phoenix
Private Dentists – Solo practitioners ready to sell and move into retirement.
Associates & First-Time Buyers – Dentists looking to purchase their first practice and establish roots in Phoenix.
Multi-Location Owners – Doctors expanding to a second or third office within the Valley.
Dental Groups & DSOs – Organizations seeking to acquire practices across Arizona.
Specialists – Orthodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and periodontists with unique practice models.
Because Phoenix is such a diverse market, I adapt my strategy to match your situation whether that means marketing broadly or focusing on a smaller, targeted pool of buyers.
Why Work With Me?
I operate independently, which means when you work with me, you’re working directly with the broker who will guide you from start to finish. Unlike larger firms, I don’t delegate your file to a junior associate or treat your practice like just another listing.
With a background in both dental brokerage and commercial real estate, I can assist with more than goodwill. If your practice includes real estate, I can evaluate whether selling the building, leasing it back, or retaining it as an investment makes the most sense for your financial goals.
I built Copper Dental Transitions on the principle that personal service matters, and I take pride in representing dentists with honesty, transparency, and professionalism.
Local Market Knowledge Matters
Phoenix is one of the most dynamic dental markets in the country. Population growth has created steady demand for family and specialty dentistry, but competition has also increased.
Buyers are especially attracted to practices in established areas such as Scottsdale, Chandler, and North Phoenix, where patient bases are stable and demographics are strong. On the other hand, emerging areas like Goodyear, Queen Creek, and Surprise offer growth potential as new communities develop.
I stay current on statewide and local trends including insurance participation, DSO activity, and real estate developments to provide the most accurate guidance possible. This local insight ensures that sellers are positioned correctly and buyers make well-informed decisions.

How long does it take to sell a dental practice in Phoenix?
On average, most practices sell in 6–12 months, though demand, collections, and location can shorten or extend the timeline.
