Practice Launch is a 22-CE ownership preparation program for dentists planning to acquire, build, finance, or operate their first practice. Its distinguishing focus is helping future owners make major decisions before signing leases, taking loans, purchasing equipment, or committing to an acquisition.
Best practical takeaways: evaluating acquisition opportunities, creating business plans, understanding financing, controlling startup costs, negotiating with vendors, building operational systems, and avoiding unnecessary overbuilding. Members also receive editable manuals, spreadsheets, supply lists, forms, and planning tools intended for direct use during the ownership process.
Common testimonial themes: dentists frequently mention gaining a clearer roadmap, spending more deliberately, and having direct access to mentorship when evaluating opportunities or navigating early ownership. Published member stories highlight lean startups, successful acquisitions, and continued instructor support after the course.
Best for: Associates and early-career dentists who expect to buy or build a practice and want structured preparation before making high-cost commitments.
Consider: The program emphasizes independent ownership, lean operations, and business decision-making rather than clinical training
It was great learning how to evaluate a practice with a clear, structured process instead of relying on gut feeling. Dr. Webster broke down what to look for during due diligence, how to spot red flags, and how to think through whether a practice is actually the right fit. It made what felt like an overwhelming process much more manageable and gave me a framework I can use on every opportunity I evaluate.
This course gave me a lot more confidence about practice ownership. More than anything, Dr. Webster has a way of simplifying complex decisions and helping you focus on what really matters. You can tell he genuinely wants other dentists to succeed, and that comes through in the way he teaches. I left feeling much more prepared to evaluate practices and make decisions with confidence instead of second guessing myself.
If you're planning to buy a practice in the near future, come with a list of questions and, if possible, a practice you're already considering. You'll get much more out of the course when you can apply the concepts to a real opportunity. Even if ownership is still a few years away, it's worth taking early because it'll completely change the way you look at practice acquisitions and help you avoid costly mistakes later on.
