Why Liber Astro

Most buyers want the whole thing. We want a partner.

You have probably taken the call from a consolidator already. A majority stake only works if the practice keeps running well afterward — which is why the commitments below go in the agreement, not in a pitch deck.

Your team keeps their jobs

Staff retention and existing compensation are written into the transition plan, not left to post-close discretion. Your hygienist should not learn about the sale from a stranger.

Your name stays on the door

We do not rebrand practices into a corporate identity. The reputation you built in your community is the asset — erasing it would be the first thing we got wrong.

No production quotas

Clinical decisions stay with clinicians. No corporate treatment protocols, no monthly targets shaping what you recommend to a patient in the chair.

Veteran Owned · Veteran Led

Built by people who served.

Our founder served in Air Force Intelligence. Our board includes an Air Force Captain. That background shapes how we operate: plan the mission, brief everyone honestly, and take care of the people carrying it out.

It also shapes what we owe the communities our practices serve.

Our commitment to veterans

Every practice in the Liber Astro group offers free cleanings to veterans on:

  • Veterans Day
  • Memorial Day weekend

The Process

Four steps, and you control the pace of every one.

Nothing moves forward without your explicit go-ahead, and nothing becomes public until you decide it should.

An initial call

Thirty minutes on where you are and what you want the next few years to look like. No documents, no valuation talk, no pressure.

Mutual NDA

Before you share a single financial statement. Your staff, your patients, and your referral network hear nothing at this stage.

Review and letter of intent

We look at collections, payer mix, and the team, then put terms in writing — valuation, how your retained 20% and your rollover stake are treated, and the staff and branding commitments spelled out rather than implied.

Diligence and close

Financials, legal, and financing, with our bank already in place. You set the closing date and we plan the announcement to your team together.

After the Deal

The questions you're actually asking.

Every dentist we speak with wants to know these six things. Here are our answers before you have to ask.

What happens to my staff?

They keep their roles and their pay. Retention terms are part of the agreement.

Does the practice keep its name?

Yes, unless you would rather retire it. No forced rebrand.

What equity do I keep?

20% of your practice, plus a rollover stake in the parent group sized to what your practice contributes.

How long do I stay on?

Two to five years, agreed up front. Long enough for a real handoff, short enough to see the end from the start.

Who makes clinical calls?

The treating dentist. We do not set treatment protocols or production targets.

When do people find out?

When you choose. We plan the announcement with you and deliver it together.

A first conversation, in confidence.

Tell us about your practice and what you want the transition to look like. Nothing you share goes further without your written consent.
