Let's Talk After Class
What Comes After Dental School?
Every dental career takes a different path. You may join an established practice, buy into a partnership, acquire a practice or eventually build one of your own. Understanding the financial side early can help you make more informed decisions later.
Practice Buy-In
Joining an established practice as an owner can involve reviewing the opportunity, understanding the financing and planning for the transition.
- Financing for an ownership interest
- Guidance through the lending process
- Working capital considerations
- Local conversations with experienced lenders
Practice Acquisition
Purchasing an existing dental practice may include more than the purchase itself. Our healthcare banking team can help you explore financing for the practice and its related business needs.
- Practice acquisition financing
- Equipment and technology needs
- Initial working capital
- Commercial real estate considerations
Starting or Growing a Practice
From office space and equipment to staffing and day-to-day expenses, a growing dental practice can have several financial needs.
- Equipment financing
- Working capital loans
- Lines of credit
- Commercial real estate financing
- Construction and expansion financing
