Joining or Exiting a Practice

What issues should you consider when entering or exiting a practice? Associating with an existing practice offers many benefits to the younger dentist, while older dentists should have a well-planned exit strategy. Joining and Leaving the Dental Practice is a free ebook designed to educate dental professionals on important business, legal, and tax-planning issues of practice entry and succession.

Name Changes & Licensing

Changing one’s name due to marriage or other reasons can lead to confusion for both dentists and patients. Keep in mind that whatever name you elect to use personally or professionally, you must act to ensure that the proper name is used on all pertinent documents. This means you need to check your DEA number, state drug license, malpractice insurance policy, employer identification number, etc.
