Welcome to the #1 site for Startup Practice resources in dentistry.

This is where associate dentists like you find the best publications to begin your startup journey.

A startup can create the best version of your future career, taking you from years of dreaming into a reality in practice ownership you deserve.
Though a startup is not right for everyone, the freedom, the control and the opportunities will change your entire life.

Done properly, your startup can be profitable without the typical risks. Your reputation, your pride of ownership and even your community impact can be established even before you open the doors for business – like the doctors who are featured in the news, weeks before their opening day.

But where do you even begin?
The costs are high. The risks are real. The timelines are complex. And the stories of doctors who struggle for years are far too common.

And that is why our team created this site.

Our hope is to serve all of dentistry – and the future of private practice ownership – through these free resources. Should you desire to get customized, 1-on-1 guidance from the leading startup consulting firm in dentistry, we can show you our application process. We get hundreds of applicants per year and have limited openings each month.

For now, save this page. You will surely come back, spending hours studying the resources.

Use these free resources and learn how other doctors create startups that define their entire career, right here on this site.

To your future success,

Stephen Trutter
CEO, Ideal Practices

Ideal Practices Reviews


dr bryan

“You know we’ve seen 200 patients and we’ve been open 2 months. I know so much of that has to do with all the work that went into making this place feel special, look special. You know when you come in it doesn’t feel like a dental office.

We’ve had incredible online reviews already talking about, ‘you are going to enjoy coming to our dental office’”

dr lauren

“Prior to working with Ideal Practices, banks were only willing to loan a certain amount to a new dentist. But working with Ideal Practices – it was night and day. Banks started talking to us, gave us money to build this practice. We saw 60 new patients in the first month and that’s being open only 2 days a week. I’m setting my own schedule. I couldn’t be happier.”

dr david

“The thing that differentiated Ideal Practices was they were so responsive right away. They pointed out issues the architect missed and while they listened to my vision, they also gave constructive criticism that has led to a full schedule since opening day. We’re at 1,000 new patients with just one year open and I don’t think we would have been here without Ideal Practices.”

dr jordan

“A fun part for me was the vision call. To talk through what we were going to do with my office. That’s what got me to work with Ideal Practices.
Looking back it’s been a complete success as far as the initial vision and what we set out to do. If I hadn’t found Ideal Practices I would probably still be at my old associate ship – burned out, trying to find something fulfilling.”
