Starting a dental practice is a significant milestone, but it’s no small feat. Whether you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned professional ready to transition into practice ownership, setting up a dental practice requires careful planning, thoughtful financial decisions, and a strong support system. At Dental CPAs, we specialize in guiding dentists through this intricate process, helping transform ambitious ideas into thriving practices.
Building a Strong Business Foundation

At Dental CPAs, we work with you to create realistic financial projections, covering key elements such as patient production, collections, and expenses. With this detailed financial foundation, you’re set up to better understand and manage the financial health of your practice from day one.
Choosing the Right Business Structure
The business structure you select—whether it’s a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation—will impact your tax obligations and liability protection. Dental CPAs helps you navigate these choices, ensuring your business entity aligns with your long-term goals. We also handle all the necessary federal and state EIN applications so you can be confident your practice is set up correctly from a legal and financial perspective.
