Tuatara Partnership Consulting programs: For Dentists, By Partners

Why Multi-Owner Practices Win

The dental landscape is changing fast. Between DSOs, staffing challenges, new (expensive!) technology and rising complexity, solo practice is harder than ever. But the answer isn’t doing more — it’s finding the right who.
 
A Purpose Driven Partnership gives you a partner who shares the load — and your vision. It’s not just about shared ownership, it’s about building a practice, and a legacy, together.

 No matter where you are in your practice ownership journey, we have a program to support you.

Programs for every partnership

Purpose Driven Partnerships

 

A long-term partnership model designed for doctors who want to grow together. This is ideal when both partners are committed to practicing side by side for years to come.


Great fit for those who:

  • Plan to practice clinically together for 10+ more years
     
  • Have an age or experience gap of 15 years or less
     
  • Want to grow the junior doctor into an equal ownership share

Purpose Driven Founders

 

This model is built for partners who already have a strong personal foundation and are ready to build a practice together from day one. This approach supports equal ownership and shared leadership from the start. 


Great fit for those who:

  • Already have an established personal relationship (spouses, dental school friends, etc.)
     
  • Are typically within 5 years of experience of each other
     
  • Want to begin the partnership with an equal ownership share
     
  • Plan to buy a practice together or launch a scratch start up

Purpose Driven Transitions

 

Designed for doctor owners who are planning to retire clinically in the next 10 years, this model supports a smooth, values-aligned transition of ownership. It’s ideal for owners who want to keep their practice doctor-led and are ready to develop an associate into a future owner.


Great fit for those who:

  • Want to retire clinically in 10 years or less
     
  • Are committed to staying doctor-owned and do not want to exit through a DSO sale
     
  • Already have — or are willing to recruit — an associate who is interested in buying the practice over time

Already In a Partnership?

Partnership Optimization

 For practices with an existing partnership in place, this program is all about optimization. Whether you need better financial reporting, smoother income allocation, or strategic support to grow your practice as a team, we’ll help make partnership easier — and more rewarding.


Great fit for those who:

  • Already have one or more doctors who have bought into the practice
     
  • Want clearer financials and fair, simplified income allocation
     
  • Are ready to level up the business side of their partnership
