In this episode, Wes Read CPA, CFP and founder of PracticeCFO dives into one of the most important financial terms in dentistry: EBITDA. Whether you're planning to sell your practice or simply want to manage it better, understanding EBITDA is essential. Wes explains what it is, how to interpret it from your P&L, and why every dental professional—owner or associate—should know the business side of dentistry.

This episode is designed to help you start thinking like a CEO of your dental practice. Because yes, it’s a practice—but it’s also a business, with payroll, debt, taxes, benefits, and financial planning responsibilities.

Key Points

• EBITDA is a key financial metric every dental practice owner should understand.
• Even associates benefit from learning the business side of dentistry.
• 
Your dental practice operates like any other business—complete with payroll, taxes, and budgets.
• 
Understanding financials helps you become an effective CEO of your practice.
• 
Unlike large corporations, dentists provide services (not products), but the financial principles still apply.
