Vegas, Baby: Buying a Dental Practice in Vegas
Travis kicks off a brand-new mini-series exploring dental markets across the country, starting with the one and only Las Vegas. Joining him is Jared Bergquist, a dental-specific broker and commercial real estate expert who’s called Vegas home since 1992 and has lived through every boom, bust, and boom again.

What’s covered:

  • Vegas dentistry’s wild ride — from the golden 70s-90s, to the 2008 recession gutting the market, to today’s red-hot buyer demand
  • Why Vegas has some of the highest insurance reimbursement rates (and patient spending) in the country — and how that fuels heavy DSO competition
  • The case for buying an “ugly” older practice with decades of goodwill over chasing a shiny new location
  • A geographic breakdown of Vegas’s best opportunity pockets — Northwest, Inspirada, Summerlin’s hidden restrictions, and more
  • Real numbers on de novo startups: build-out costs, lease rates, and why it’s not the cheap route it used to be
  • The often-overlooked goldmine of second-generation dental spaces
  • Vegas’s unique hygienist and assistant shortage — and how the service industry (yes, cocktail waitressing) is stealing your staff
  • Jared’s parting advice: get on every broker’s radar and surround yourself with real dental-industry pros

A must-listen for anyone eyeing Vegas as their next practice home. Reach Jared at BergquistGroup.com.
