Established 34-Year Practice
with Freehold in Premium Melbourne Suburb
A rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, family-oriented general dental practice — including the freehold commercial property — in a sought-after Melbourne inner-east suburb. The vendor is flexible on transition arrangements, with a committed associate, oral health therapist, and part-time dentist already in place.
This is a well-regarded, independently owned general dental practice that has served the same inner-Melbourne community since 1992, over 34 years of continuous operation. The practice operates from its own freehold commercial premises in a blue-chip Melbourne suburb, providing the incoming buyer with both an established dental business and a premium property asset.
The clinical team includes the principal dentist (working 3 days per week), an associate dentist (2 days per week), and two oral health therapists operating 4 days per week. The practice is closed on Fridays and weekends, providing meaningful capacity headroom for an incoming buyer wishing to expand hours or chair utilisation.
The vendor has built a deeply loyal multi-generational patient base over 34 years, a genuine community institution in a high-income, owner-occupied demographic. Patient goodwill is well-distributed across the clinical team, with the associate and OHTs independently managing a significant share of patient relationships.
The vendor is flexible on post-settlement transition: they are willing to remain for a structured handover period, or to exit at a mutually agreed point following handover. This flexibility significantly reduces transition risk for any buyer profile. The freehold property is also included as part of the practice sale.

Freehold in Blue-Chip Melbourne
Commercial freehold in Melbourne's inner-east is exceptionally rare for a dental acquisition. The property provides asset-backed finance security, eliminates lease risk, and offers long-term capital upside in one of Melbourne's most sought-after commercial precincts.
34 Years of Patient Goodwill
Established in 1992, this practice has over three decades of community relationships in a high-income demographic. Multi-generational patient families represent the lowest-churn, highest-loyalty patient cohort available in Australian dentistry.
Associate & OHT Already in Place
The clinical team is operational and largely independent of the vendor principal. An associate dentist (2 days/week) and two oral health therapists (4 days/week) are established and active — reducing key-person risk and enabling a managed transition.
Vendor Flexibility on Transition
The vendor is willing to remain active in the practice for a structured handover period — or to exit after handover at a mutually agreed time. This rare flexibility accommodates both first-time buyers seeking mentorship and experienced operators preferring clean exits.
Significant Growth Headroom
The practice currently closes on Fridays and operates 2 chairs at less than full capacity. Extended trading hours and additional chair utilisation could meaningfully increase revenue from the current $810K without requiring capital investment.
Premium Catchment Demographics
Melbourne's inner-east (Boroondara LGA) is characterised by high household income, high health fund membership rates, and owner-occupied housing — demographics that consistently produce above-average private billing rates and patient loyalty.
Friday Trading — the practice is currently closed on Fridays. Opening one additional day represents direct revenue uplift on existing fixed-cost infrastructure.
Second Chair Utilisation — with two chairs available and current principal working only 3 days, there is scope to fill chair time with additional associate or specialist sessions.
OHT Recall Programme — a structured hygiene recall system targeting the existing patient base would generate consistent, recurring revenue with minimal acquisition cost.
Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dentistry — the inner-Melbourne demographic has strong appetite for cosmetic treatment. Targeted clinical expansion (whitening, veneers, clear aligners) could lift average fee per visit.
Digital Marketing — a professionally managed Google Ads and social media presence in the inner-east market would accelerate new patient flow in a high-value catchment.
D4W Practice Platform — the practice runs on D4W, a mature and well-supported practice management system. An incoming buyer can leverage D4W's recall, reporting, and billing tools immediately without a system migration or retraining period.
Strong Active Patient Base — a loyal, multi-generational active patient base built over 34 years in the same inner-east community provides a stable and recurring revenue foundation from day one, with significant recall and reactivation potential.
🤝 Stay & Mentor
The vendor is willing to remain active in the practice for an agreed handover period, providing clinical continuity, patient introductions, and management mentorship — ideal for a first-time practice buyer.
🚪 Structured Exit
For experienced operators who prefer a clean break, the vendor is willing to exit at an agreed point following a transition period. The associate dentist and OHT team provide immediate clinical continuity.
👥 Team Continuity
Associate dentist and an oral health therapist are in place and practicing independently. The team have been working within the practice for up to 8 years and have built strong patient relationships across both the clinical and auxiliary team, reducing single-practitioner dependency materially.
📋 Established Systems
34 years of operational history means mature patient management, billing, and appointment systems. The practice is a well-organised, running business — not a start-up or turnaround situation.
