  • Excellent Content

    Big thanks to Dr. Vallo and Matt for sharing so freely their deep insights on the dental profession. I gain at least two immediately implementable items from each podcast. In a profession where most people keep their secrets to themselves, it refreshing that these two care more for the greater good of dentistry than for themselves. Keep up the great work.

    This podcast is a must. I’ve been listening it for a while and I’ve gotten a lot of dental business pearls you could say. Dr. Vallo and Matt Brown are a welt of knowledge. I met Matt Brown at the supercharge event this year in Miami where he did an amazing lecture with tips on case acceptance. I’m doing a startup currently and I’ve gotten many ideas and knowledge related to the start of process, about Managing the team, marketing and basically everything you can think of.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 236 | Dental Unfiltered | State of the Market
Q: How would I know if I was a B or an A?
Klingshern says buyers favor practices with growth capacity, multiple doctors, diversified payer and procedure mixes, sufficient hygiene and new-patient flow, and less dependence on a single owner.
Episode 236 | Dental Unfiltered | State of the Market
Q: What's the biggest change you've seen in the last three months?
Klingshern says elevated interest rates are a major headwind for private equity-backed buyers, while the market has increasingly separated high-quality A practices from B and C practices.
Episode 233 | Dental Unfiltered | Private Equity Purchases
Q: What would you tell dentists to avoid when negotiating with PE groups?
Get professional representation, question every assumption, and avoid taking on excessive debt or giving up control without solid protections; the emphasis should be on people, systems, and control rather than just the numbers.
Episode 233 | Dental Unfiltered | Private Equity Purchases
Q: What were the three factors that pushed you to seriously consider a sale?
I realized the practice was valuable enough to attract serious interest, the timing aligned with my personal goals to step back from clinical work, and the right DSO/PE fit offered a future that matched my long‑term career aspirations.
Episode 233 | Dental Unfiltered | Private Equity Purchases
Q: Did you approach the PE group first or did they approach you, and what was the moment you decided to move forward?
I initially resisted and was cautious, but after a month of meetings and seeing a shared vision—I was convinced by their plan and felt aligned with their long‑term goals, which made proceeding feel prudent despite the risk.
