After years of building a practice that reflects who you are as a clinician, you deserve a transition path that honors that. A partnership where you remain a dentist, retain your autonomy, and still get the resources, relief, and runway you need.
We keep it simple, transparent, and on your timeline. You tell us where you are. We show you what’s possible.
Most practice owners tell us the first conversation was the most honest one they’d had about their options. No pressure. No pitch. Just a real discussion between dentists.
A 30-minute call with one of our founding dentists. We want to understand your practice, your goals, and your timeline before anything else. No paperwork, no pitch deck.
We take a detailed look at your financials, operations, and growth potential. You’ll receive a clear picture of your practice’s current value and where we see opportunity.
If it makes sense for both sides, we’ll present a detailed proposal outlining ownership structure, support services, governance rights, and financial terms. Plain language. No fine print.
Transition at your pace. Keep your team, your brand, your clinical standards. Gain the back-office support, purchasing power, and network resources that free you to focus on dentistry.
As a partner-owner, you participate in the governance and growth of the network. Your practice becomes part of a rising tide that lifts every practice in it.
A Rising Tide partnership is designed to add, not subtract. Here’s what stays exactly the way you built it and what gets better when you join.
Treatment decisions stay with the clinician. No production quotas, no mandated procedures, no outside pressure on how you practice dentistry.
Your practice name, your culture, your reputation in the community. We don't rebrand. What you've built in the eyes of your patients stays yours.
The staff relationships you’ve built over years are irreplaceable. We protect existing employment and invest in your team’s development.
As a partner-owner, you sit at the table. You help shape network policy, operating models, and strategic decisions.
You become an owner of the broader network. As Rising Tide grows, so does your stake. No PE firm siphoning value upward. Equity stays with the dentists who built it.
Whether you’re 10 years from retiring or 30, we’ll work with you to build a succession plan that honors what you’ve created and ensures it continues the right way.
After 25 years building my practice, I wasn’t ready to hand the keys to a PE firm or corporate DSO.. Rising Tide let me get the support I needed without giving up what makes us special.
I’d been approached by three DSOs before Rising Tide. The difference was that I was talking to a dentist who actually understood what I’d built and cared about preserving it, not just acquiring it.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an honest discussion between dentists about what the right path looks like for your practice.
