TRANSITIONS CONSULTING
How successful transitions begin

The most successful transitions start with the right expectations between parties. These expectations must be carefully created, developed, and communicated. There is no more powerful way to build an effective and enjoyable relationship between senior dentists and associates than with the Mercer Transitions team.

Our reputation has been built upon over 20 years of transitions consulting. We guide all parties through each step to make sure that their goals are balanced and accomplished, the value of the dental practice is enhanced, and that both owners and associates derive mutual benefit from the transition.

THE PROCESS

View Transitions Process With Timeline diagram
  1. As a transition candidate (senior dentists and associates), you attend the transitions workshop Transitions in Dentistry and receive in-depth information about all aspects of a successful transition.


  2. At the workshop, you discuss your goals one-on-one with a Mercer Transitions Consultant. Your practice may be transition-ready; if not, you may choose to work with a Mercer Transitions Practice Consultant to prime your practice for your transition.


  3. When your practice is transition ready, Mercer Transitions (MTC) will analyze your dental practice and prepare a comprehensive transition plan.


  4. This plan includes an in-depth analysis of the practice, review of your historical financial results, and projections of various transition scenarios that show exactly how a transition can be structured to meet your goals, as well as an estimate of the fair market value of your practice. We go beyond the numbers to determine what resources are needed (both financial and otherwise) so that you can realistically achieve your goals.


  5. MTC also provides documentation to support the entire transaction from the initial associate period (if applicable) to the eventual buy-in.


  6. Once MTC has prepared a comprehensive transition plan, many of our clients turn to their Mercer Mastery Consultants to support them through the transition process. Our consultants have extensive experience in all aspects of practice management and can show your practice techniques to increase practice performance during this critical stage.
We believe the Mercer Transitions process is unparalleled in its depth, thoroughness, and likelihood of success.
