The Dental Exit Blueprint: The 13 EBITDA Levers That Drive Maximum Value was released on July 15, 2026.
Led by Elijah Desmond, the 29-author guide brings together perspectives on the financial, operational, and strategic choices that can influence how a dental practice is evaluated in a future transaction. Dr. Michael A. Njo is a contributing author.
The book is designed for practice owners who want to understand the value drivers a buyer may examine before they begin preparing for a sale.
What the book covers
The book is organized around 13 EBITDA levers: practical areas of a practice that can affect the quality, predictability, and risk profile of its earnings.
Rather than treating an exit as a last-minute transaction, the guide frames value creation as work that happens through the operating choices owners make over time.
Why exit planning starts early
A practice sale usually involves more than a revenue number. Buyers may look at earnings, systems, team stability, collections, expenses, and the degree to which the practice can perform without depending on one owner.
Owners can use the guide as a starting point for better questions about their own readiness, then work with qualified legal, tax, valuation, and transaction professionals for advice specific to their situation.
