For dentists contemplating their next chapter, finding the right successor—someone who shares your commitment to patient care and preserves the practice you’ve carefully built—can be challenging in Manhattan’s competitive landscape. Whether you’re planning retirement, relocation, or simply seeking new horizons, the transition process deserves thoughtful consideration and a partner who truly understands your practice’s value.

At Dental West NYC, Dr. Leora Walter leads a team dedicated to preserving the legacies of quality dental practices on the Upper West Side and throughout Manhattan. As a prosthodontist who prioritizes preventive care and maintaining patients’ natural teeth, Dr. Walter approaches practice acquisitions with the same philosophy she applies to dentistry—with meticulous attention to detail and a focus on long-term success.

Why Consider Dental West NYC for Your Practice Transition

The decision to transition your practice represents years of dedication to your patients and profession. When considering potential buyers, several factors set Dental West NYC apart:

Philosophy-Driven Approach

We believe in minimally invasive, preventive dentistry and treating patients with the utmost care and respect. If your practice philosophy aligns with this approach, we may be the perfect successor to carry forward your legacy. Unlike corporate buyers who might implement dramatic changes, we maintain the personalized care your patients expect while introducing advanced techniques like laser dentistry.

Seamless Patient Experience

Your patients deserve continuity of care. Our team excels at smooth transitions, ensuring your established patients receive the same level of attention they’ve come to expect. We take time to understand your practice’s unique aspects and patient relationships before any transition occurs.

Flexible Transition Options

Every dentist’s timeline and goals differ. We offer various transition arrangements, including:

  • Immediate full practice acquisition
  • Phased transition with continuing involvement
  • Associate-to-owner pathways
  • Partnership opportunities

Preserving Staff Relationships

Your team members represent valuable relationships built over years. We recognize their importance to your practice’s success and strive to maintain these connections during transitions whenever possible.

Practices on Manhattan’s Upper West Side possess unique attributes we appreciate:

  • Established patient base seeking quality care
  • Experienced staff familiar with neighborhood dynamics
  • Strategic location in one of New York’s most desirable communities
  • Reputation built through years of patient trust
