Launching September 2026

Dental school taught you teeth. Nobody taught you business.

DOC is the ownership education platform for dentists who want their own practice and would rather not learn everything the expensive way.

Why DOC

You spent 8 years learning to save teeth. Now you want to own a practice, and suddenly everyone's speaking a different language.

SBA loans. Letters of intent. Quality of earnings. Cap rates. Build-out budgets. You could piece it together from podcasts, Facebook groups, and that one classmate who bought a practice and won't stop talking about it. Or you could learn it the way you learned clinical: structured, sequenced, and taught by people who actually know what they're doing.

That's DOC. The business education dental school skipped.

What DOC is not

You have enough places to get bad advice.

Not another Facebook group

Anonymous opinions, ranked by an algorithm, interrupted by ads. No one is accountable for what they told you.

Here: verified dentists, named faculty, sourced answers.
Not a buddies WhatsApp group

Six friends comparing guesses. Warm, well-meant, and capped by whatever the six of you happen to know.

Here: advisors, lenders, and lawyers who close these deals weekly.

No sponsored content

Sponsors don't write lessons, review lessons, or pay to appear in them. Nobody buys their way into the curriculum.

Here: every module authored independently by our founding faculty.

Your education is the product. You are not.

The platform

Three tracks. One goal: your name on the door.

Free
Foundations

The shared core every future owner needs. Reading a P&L without sweating. Entity structures. Lending. Building your advisory team. 12 modules, and it costs you nothing.

12
Modules
Paid track
Startup Track

For the dentist who wants to build it from the ground up. Site selection, design, equipment, construction, hiring, and opening the doors. 11 modules.

11
Modules
Paid track
Acquisition Track

For the dentist who'd rather buy something that already works. Finding deals, reading the numbers, due diligence, closing, and not losing the team or the patients in month one. 13 modules.

13
Modules

36 modules. 189 lessons. About 26 hours. Zero fluff.

Inside a lesson

6 to 10 minutes. One concept. Something you can actually use.

Every lesson is short because you're busy and long because it needs to be, never the other way around. Each one is taught by an expert in that exact domain and ends with a deliverable: a checklist, a template, a number you now know how to find. Watch a lesson between patients. Walk away with something real.

The curriculum at a glance

36 modules across three tracks.

Every module is built around a specific decision the learner has to make. The full curriculum was designed before a single lesson was recorded.

Founding Faculty

Taught by people who do this for a living. Not influencers. Not theorists.

Thirteen founding faculty built this curriculum with us. Practice acquisition advisors, dental CPAs, attorneys, demographics analysts, marketing operators, insurance and credentialing experts. Each one teaches only the thing they're verifiably great at. Nobody's teaching lending because they had a slot to fill.

A room full of verified dentists. Zero anonymous weirdos.

Every member is a verified dental professional with a real name, a real profile, and a real goal. Ask the question you'd be embarrassed to ask in that giant Facebook group. Compare notes with people six months ahead of you on the same path. No lurkers selling you things. No hot takes from someone who may or may not own a practice, or teeth.
