Cost to buy a dental practice

UK Dental Practice Price Index

Last updated 2026-10-29

Every provider below was read on its own page through our fetch box, and the row says what that page published on the day we read it. 33 of 68 publish a figure; the rest are listed too, because how many will not quote a number is the most useful thing about this market. Nothing here is a quote for your job: it is what other people advertise.

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 33 of the 68 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 35 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 96 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one asking price per practice listing, read off the broker's own listing page (the price a buyer is asked for the goodwill, fixtures and fittings, leasehold unless the page says freehold), filed by income mix (NHS, private, mixed) and region; the median, quartiles and range across listings are the index. Goodwill-to-fees ratios and EBITDA multiples a broker or an attributed survey publishes are reported beside it, never in the same median, and an all-in cost for a worked practice (price + CQC fee + legal + finance) is computed from the index and the register
