53-Year General Practice Near Penn State, Primed for Growth

This is a rare chance to acquire a well-established, 53-year-old general dental practice located just 15 miles from the bustling and ever-growing Penn State University community. Nestled in a region with limited dental competition and an overflow of patients, this practice is primed for a new owner to take it to the next level. With strong community roots and a solid patient base, the groundwork is already laid for substantial growth.

Currently, the practice operates on a Monday through Thursday schedule, leaving ample opportunity to increase production by simply adding a fifth day. The office consistently averages 16 new patients per month, a clear indicator of strong demand and local need for dental services. Even more promising is the clinical opportunity: implants, endodontics, complex periodontics, and third molar extractions are all referred out — services that a skilled buyer could retain in-house to significantly boost revenue and patient retention.

The facility spans 4,800 sq. ft. of leased space and is meticulously maintained, featuring all-digital equipment last upgraded in 2014. The technology is in excellent condition, providing a turnkey setup for immediate transition. The payor mix is balanced with 70% insurance and 30% fee-for-service, offering both stability and room for growth.
