Pro Practice Transitions

What Pro Practice Transitions does

Pro Practice Transitions is a privately held, founder-owned dental practice brokerage and consulting firm founded in 2013 by Thomas Gentry and headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts. The firm facilitates the buying, selling, and merging of dental practices for individual dentists and small dental practice owners across the New England region and Southern Florida. Its core product is a transaction brokerage service operating on a flat 5% broker fee, positioned as a cost-advantaged alternative to higher-fee national brokerage firms. Supplementary services include lease negotiation brokerage, 1-on-1 in-office consulting, strategic practice consulting (covering operational efficiency, financial management, marketing, and team development), mergers and acquisitions advisory, NDA-protected confidential practice listings, and design and marketing services. The company also operates under the trade name Pro Practice Advisor Group, reflecting its diversification beyond pure transactions.

The business model is fundamentally a professional services and transaction-fee model with no proprietary technology platform or recurring SaaS revenue. GTM is sales-led and relationship-based, with most clients acquired through referrals from satisfied dentists, supplemented by a professional website, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, and a mailing list. Distribution is direct through transition consultants, with a curated partner ecosystem that includes SBA lenders (Provide, United Midwest Savings Bank), traditional banking (U.S. Bank's healthcare practice group), transaction attorneys (The Law Offices of Anthony J. Voci, Cohen Law Firm PLLC), and a referral marketing vendor (PatientSprout.com). The firm is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Technology adoption is minimal: the website is built on Wix, and the firm does not disclose any proprietary software, integrations, or data assets. The competitive position rests on founder reputation, regional brand recognition in the New England dental community, transparent fee structure, and personalized service rather than scale, automation, or network effects. With 9 employees and no disclosed revenue, the firm operates as a focused niche advisor rather than a scaled brokerage platform.
