Jonathan Song, DDS

 

Hi there!

I'm Jonathan Song, DDS — a general dentist and multi-practice owner in greater Los Angeles and Orange County. I help other dentists buy, own, and run successful dental practices. I love clinical dentistry and also heavily involved in clinical lecture circuits.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2014 and completed a General Practice Residency at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, CA, where I was named Resident of the Year. I'm still a full-time, hands-on dentist pursuing "super GP" work in implants, full-mouth rehabilitation (KOIS), and esthetic dentistry (AACD) — so when we talk clinical, I'm in the trenches with you.

I'm also still a student of the business. A decade into my career, I invest 100+ hours a year in continuing education and business coursework, because a great practice takes as much skill in management, finance, and leadership as it does in the operatory.

My ownership journey began in 2016. Over the next few years I evaluated hundreds of California practices — physically, financially, and operationally — and went through many escrows and negotiations before I ever signed. I know exactly what buyer-dentists feel: the excitement, and the very real fear of the unknown. I acquired two practices in 2018, a third in 2022, and the fourth in 2026. Today my team and I operate four offices, each with a different patient base, culture, and operational style. Our goal is to have five thriving practices under one central management entity with a profitable operations by 2027.

Sharing what that cost me to help my friends learn is how Song Dental Management began with “How to Buy a Dental Office in 30 Days”

It transformed into the 90-minute Practice Acquisition webinar, which is a full scope webinar around dental practice acquisition. It includes the questions to ask, the numbers that actually matter, the deal terms worth fighting for, and more.

Because I paid for the hard way: a decade of my own time, money, and the attorneys, CPAs, lenders, and brokers I hired across every practice I evaluated and every escrow I opened.

Ninety minutes won't make you an expert. But it will get your feet wet, show you what the journey really looks like from the inside, and let you decide whether ownership is your next step or not — without spending ten years and six figures finding out.

Oh yeah. And IT IS FREE


If you are ready to actually do it, Practice Acquisition Mastery is two full days on the whole arc — not just the buy itself, but from the beginning of the search as well as the year that follows it.

Day one is the hunt and the deal: figuring out what your ideal practice is, reading a practice physically, financially, and operationally; telling the numbers that predict a good office from the ones that are dressed up; building your advisory team; and structuring an offer that still protects you after the ink dries.

Day two is the part nobody prepares you for — the transition. Keeping the patients, keeping the team, setting your systems in the first ninety days, and knowing which changes to make now and which ones will cost you the practice if you rush them.

Most acquisitions don't fail at the closing table; they fail in the six months after.

You'll leave with the frameworks, checklists, and real deal documents I use myself — and a clear-eyed picture of what you're walking into.


We also teach openly through the Dental Business Pod — a monthly live webinar and Q&A with one or two invited experts (SDP Webinar Series). Join live and ask questions, or catch the recording and speaker contacts afterward, alongside our practice-management courses and workshops on buying and running a dental office with confidence.

Looking forward to learning and growing together!
