Just Released: TUSK’s Q4 2026 Dental Market Report
Download Here: https://hubs.li/Q04B84Bs0

This year brought platform mergers, DSOs planting flags in new states, and a growing number of groups preparing to go to market. Meanwhile, a September rate hike and new SBA rules have made it harder for associates to buy, even when they’re the most natural successor.

Our Q4 report covers what this year has meant for practice owners, including:
➡️ How DSO mergers and recapitalizations are reshaping the buyer landscape.
➡️ How lending trends are putting doctor-to-doctor sales at risk.
➡️ How specialty growth is shifting across the profession.
➡️ Three exit paths worth mapping if you’re 5 to 10 years from a transition.

Whether you’re planning a transition or just want to stay informed, the report is a data-driven look at where the dental market stands heading into 2027.

🎧 Just Released: Episode 57 of The Dental Truth Project, featuring Kevin Cumbus, President & Founder of TUSK, on AI, robotics, and the future of dental M&A.
Listen to the full episode here ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q04B6kNJ0

Kevin shares what he’s seeing from buyers, lenders, and private equity groups, and why waiting for interest rates to fall may not bring back the multiples of a few years ago. He also explains why deal structure matters as much as the headline number, and why buyers are looking for a strong economic engine, not just impressive EBITDA.

Then he looks further ahead. As AI and robotics change how dental hygiene could be delivered, Kevin makes the case that practice owners need to build adaptable businesses rather than count on assumptions about the next 10 to 15 years.

We’re grateful Kevin had the chance to join Ken Kaufman and Dallin Kaufman for this conversation.

What if the value you’re counting on for your dental practice isn’t there in 15 years?

Kevin Cumbus, President and Founder of TUSK, joins Ken Kaufman and Dallin Kaufman on Episode 57 of The Dental Truth Project to talk about AI, robotics, and the future of dental M&A.

For practice owners weighing their next chapter, Kevin gives a candid look at today’s market. He explains why lower interest rates alone won’t bring back 2021 and 2022 valuations, and why deal structure and risk matter as much as the headline multiple.

He also looks ahead to the next 6 to 12 months of dental M&A, and to how AI and robotics could change the economics of dental care long term. His advice:

“If you own a dental practice today and you’re banking on the value of that practice being worth 10x 10-15 years from now, I would encourage you to think long and hard about where is the market going.”

We’re grateful to Ken and Dallin for having Kevin on the show.

Every dental practice owner exits their practice eventually. The real question is how much of that exit you’ll control.

Associates are carrying more debt, lending for single-practice acquisitions has tightened, and DSOs are scrutinizing deals more closely than they have in years. Meanwhile, staff wages and supply costs are each up 23% since 2021, while reimbursements have grown just 19%.

Join Ryan Mingus, Managing Director & Partner, and Connor Jorgensen, Director at TUSK, as they walk through every path available to practice owners today, including:
- How DSO deal structures actually differ right now
- The best-kept secret for owners not ready to sell 100% of their practice
- The current state of doctor-to-doctor transitions
- The operational levers owners are using against margin pressure

Hosted with Dental Academy of Continuing Education, this live session offers 1 CE credit and is built for every practice owner, regardless of when you plan to exit.

Beginning January 1, 2027, adults covered through Medicaid expansion will need to document work or another qualifying activity to keep their coverage, and states will review eligibility every six months instead of once a year.

For behavioral health practices, that means some Medicaid patients will lose coverage. Owners going to market later in 2027 should expect buyers to review patient retention and volume heavily.

Our Q3 2026 Behavioral Health Market Report examines these upcoming policy changes and what they could mean for owners considering a sale.

"The check was great, the administrative work is gone, and I've never felt lighter."

If you've heard a colleague describe their dermatology practice sale this way, you've only heard the ending. Behind that outcome was a deal that was structured specifically for their practice, their buyer, and their timing.

In this blog, Connor Jorgensen, Director at TUSK, breaks down what the process really involves, why your sale likely won't mirror your colleague's, and how the right advisor helps you shape a deal around your own practice and goals.

Join Connor Jorgensen, Director at TUSK, tomorrow for a live webinar in collaboration with Orthopreneurs on the exit pathways available to orthodontic practice owners.

Connor will walk through exit options in today's market, whether that's bringing on an associate, partnering with an OSO, or closing the doors. He'll also cover what's happening to doctor-to-doctor transactions, why you don't have to sell it all, and how macroeconomic trends are shaping valuations and OSO partnerships.

Whether a transition is on your near-term radar or years down the road, this session covers the metrics every ortho practice owner should know.

Healthcare practices tend to weather economic slowdowns well, but inflation is a different challenge. When costs rise faster than fees and reimbursement, it doesn't stay in the monthly numbers. It shows up in what buyers will offer for your practice.

In his latest blog, Ryan Mingus, Managing Director & Partner at TUSK, explains how the current market is affecting practice valuations and deal terms. He also shares why practices that have held strong through the last few years are well positioned with buyers, and why it's worth understanding where your practice stands even if a sale isn't on your radar.

Congratulations to Dr. Rohinton Patel on the successful partnership of Hawaii Pacific Dental Group with MB2 Dental. Dr. Patel has grown the practice into one of Honolulu’s leading dental practices, known for clinical excellence and thorough, personalized care. We were honored to guide him through the process of finding the right partner for his next chapter.

Dr. Patel shared, “Running a practice the way I do doesn’t leave much room for managing a transaction on the side. TUSK took the heavylifting off my plate. They prepared me for every buyer conversation, managed the diligence requests, and kept the timelines on track, and their knowledge of the process gave me confidence at every step. I spent my days with my patients, notburied in paperwork, and the process still moved faster and more smoothly than I had expected. I’m excited to begin this next chapter with MB2 Dental and continue serving our patients in Hawaii Kai for years to come.”
