Want to sell? We’re in Business
Transition plans developed to fit your personal situation.
A clearly defined succession plan provides you with the comfort and assurance of knowing that your practice, patients and community will remain in safe and capable hands. But most orthodontists also want the flexibility to phase out of the practice on their own terms – not tomorrow, not to a rigid timeframe, and without onerous targets in the final months and years of their career.
Smile Partners can make such a succession plan a reality.
continued success
With our unique experience of owning and managing multiple specialist orthodontic practices across Australia, Smile Partners is ideally placed to ensure that your practice will continue to thrive.
Flexible transition
We don’t impose a “one size” fixed transition process upon our doctors, as we recognise that this is unlikely to be the best outcome for you, your patients, or your practice. Instead we work with you to understand your personal situation and goals, and develop a tailored transition plan to suit.
Lifestyle
Without the management burden on your shoulders, and with the certainty of your practice’s continued success, you can enjoy the remaining weeks, months or years of your career with a focus on what you enjoy – treating patients, and your life outside the clinic.
clinical freedom
We don’t impose any clinical or operating methodologies on our orthodontists. You will retain absolute clinical autonomy
Financial certainty
A practice sale releases the valuable equity you have built up over the life of the practice, giving you greater security in the latter stages of your career and towards retirement. Working with Smile Partners there are no clawbacks either – the continued success of the practice is our responsibility.
Having recently been appointed as President of the ASO, and planning for the future of my practice, there were a number of competing pressures for my time.
Smile Partners provided the opportunity for me to sell the practice that I had built over 20 plus years, and the flexibility to balance my time seeing patients with my responsibilities to the ASO.
They have added new systems and processes to those we had already, but have always aimed to maintain Ocean Orthodontics’ unique brand and identity.
12 months on and we are currently planning for the next step of transitioning in a new doctor. As we continue to work closely together, I am confident that this process will lead to a bright future for the practice, moving forward, as I step back.
Having spent 30 years establishing and growing the practice with my wife, we realised that it was time to enjoy the fruits of our labour.
We wanted to travel more and release the value we’d built whilst ensuring that the practice continued to thrive.
Smile Partners offered a flexible solution that allowed us to meet all of these goals. I get to transition out on a timeline that works for me knowing that my ideals and values will continue with the practice once I finish up.
