The Independent Dentist and Dental practice transitions. Think carefully. For the Independent dentist, the concept of retirement and how to approach it raises big concerns. Summary: A reasonable and attainable alternative to traditional retirement is to move to a model of only promoting and ethically selling the procedures you love the most at appropriate and profitable fees for as long as you want or need income.
