Know What Your Dental Practice Is Really Worth
An independent, EBITDA-based financial assessment gives dental practice owners a clearer understanding of their practice's sustainable earning power. Through normalized EBITDA analysis and sensitivity testing, Executive Valuations helps owners make informed financial decisions—whether they're focused on growth, evaluating an acquisition offer, or preparing for a future exit.
Based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Executive Valuations serves independent dental practice owners nationwide.
Why Your Dental Practice's Taxable Income Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
Your tax return tells one financial story. Your dental practice's underlying earning power may tell another.
Taxable income is calculated for tax-reporting purposes, while normalized EBITDA is designed to provide a clearer picture of a practice's sustainable operating earnings. Understanding the difference is essential when evaluating your practice's potential market value.
At Executive Valuations, we analyze your financial performance to identify reasonable, supportable adjustments—not simply to maximize add-backs, but to develop an accurate picture of the earnings a prospective buyer would evaluate.

Our Dental Practice Valuation Process
Our approach is designed to provide dental practice owners with an independent, thoroughly documented assessment of normalized EBITDA, along with sensitivity analysis that illustrates how changes in key assumptions may affect sustainable earnings.
1. Understand Your Practice
We begin by reviewing your practice's financial information, ownership structure, operating characteristics, and valuation objectives.
2. Analyze and Normalize EBITDA
We examine historical financial performance and identify reasonable, supportable adjustments to develop a clearer picture of sustainable operating earnings.
3. Perform Sensitivity Analysis
We evaluate how changes in key financial and operating assumptions could affect normalized EBITDA, helping you understand the factors that may strengthen or weaken your practice's earning power.
4. Deliver Your Valuation Analysis
We provide a comprehensive PDF workbook package presenting your normalized EBITDA analysis, sensitivity scenarios, and clearly documented assumptions. Our methodology and supporting calculations are presented transparently, creating a defensible financial analysis that you can confidently reference when evaluating your practice's financial position and future opportunities.
Why Choose Executive Valuations?
Choosing the right financial advisor begins with experience, independence, and an understanding of how dental practices operate.
Independent, Objective Analysis
Executive Valuations was founded on a simple principle: practice owners deserve an independent financial advocate whose interests are not tied to the outcome of a transaction.
After years working in healthcare mergers and acquisitions, founder Jennifer Arsenault witnessed firsthand how practice owners could find themselves at a disadvantage—often relying on valuations presented by buyers or transaction brokers without an independent assessment of their own practice's earnings.
Recognizing this imbalance, Jennifer established Executive Valuations to give practice owners access to the financial insight, transparency, and advocacy they deserve before making potentially life-changing decisions.
Unlike parties whose compensation may depend on completing a transaction, Executive Valuations has no financial stake in whether a practice sells or at what price. Our focus is on delivering credible, defensible normalized EBITDA analyses based on reasonable, supportable adjustments—not a predetermined result.
Extensive Dental Industry Experience
Our founder, Jennifer Arsenault, has advised more than 350 healthcare practice owners nationwide, including 289 dental practice owners across multiple specialties.
Decades of Financial Expertise
Jennifer brings more than 23 years of corporate finance experience, complemented by extensive healthcare mergers and acquisitions experience.
Practical, Actionable Financial Insight
Our analyses go beyond identifying normalized EBITDA. We help practice owners understand the assumptions, financial drivers, and sensitivities that influence sustainable earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Practice Valuations
What is a dental practice valuation?
A dental practice valuation helps owners understand the financial performance and factors that influence their practice's potential value. Executive Valuations specializes in independent, EBITDA-based financial assessments, including normalized EBITDA and sensitivity analysis, rather than formal appraisals or transaction price determinations.
Why is normalized EBITDA important when evaluating a dental practice?
Normalized EBITDA provides a clearer picture of a practice's ongoing operating earnings by accounting for reasonable, supportable financial adjustments. It helps owners better understand the financial performance that prospective buyers may consider during an acquisition.
Is my dental practice's taxable income the same as normalized EBITDA?
No. Taxable income is determined under tax-reporting rules, while normalized EBITDA reflects operating earnings after appropriate adjustments. The difference can be significant depending on the practice's financial circumstances.
Does Executive Valuations determine what my dental practice will sell for?
No. Executive Valuations does not determine a final transaction price or apply market valuation multiples. We provide an independent normalized EBITDA assessment and sensitivity analysis to help owners understand their practice's financial performance and the factors that could influence its earning power.
When should I have my dental practice's financial performance evaluated?
The best time is now—regardless of whether you're considering a sale. Every dental practice owner should understand their practice's current earning power and the financial factors that influence its value. Establishing that baseline allows you to make more informed business decisions, identify opportunities for improvement, and measure progress over time.
If you're contemplating an exit, understanding your normalized EBITDA becomes even more critical. Waiting until a buyer presents an offer can leave you at a disadvantage. Knowing where you stand beforehand gives you the financial clarity and confidence to approach those conversations from a position of knowledge rather than uncertainty.
What will I receive from Executive Valuations?
You will receive a comprehensive PDF workbook package containing your normalized EBITDA analysis, sensitivity scenarios, supporting calculations, and clearly documented assumptions. The objective is to provide a transparent, defensible financial analysis that helps you make more informed decisions.
