$1.5M

Range $250K – $62M (IDSO/DSO platform recaps)

SDE multiple

3x–5x SDE (doctor-to-doctor sale for practices <$1.8M collections); approx 60–80% of prior 3-year average collections for traditional transitions

EBITDA multiple

5x–8x (DSO add-ons, single-office GP); 7x–9x (multi-provider regional groups $1M–$3M EBITDA); 9x–11x (emerging multi-site platforms $3M–$5M EBITDA); 11x+ (platform-level organizations $5M+ EBITDA). NOTE: DSO consolidation has reached ~25% market penetration, paying record multiples. Specialty practices — orthodontics, oral surgery (OMS), pediatric dentistry — command 20–40% premium multiples over general dentistry. Of 250 OMS residency graduates in 2024, ~150 went directly to IDSOs/DSOs (per Large Practice Sales), reflecting fastest consolidation of any dental specialty. IDSO partnership model (selling 51–90% while retaining equity) can yield 6x–12x EBITDA for practices with $500K+ EBITDA.
