Why now might be the best time to set-up your own dental practice
The idea of opening your own dental practice may have crossed your mind - and now could be the perfect time to make it a reality. While there are still challenges, such as rising construction material costs (despite a slower rate of increase in 2025) and a nationwide shortage of dentists, several favourable conditions are helping to offset these barriers. Recent government tax changes, falling interest rates, and competitive finance options have created a unique window of opportunity for dentists ready to take the next step toward ownership. For many practitioners working in overbooked practices or seeing unmet demand in their communities, the question isn't whether opportunities exist but whether now is the right time to act on them.
