Keeping the operatory running

Protecting Practices, Preserving Uptime

Every handpiece spinning. Every sterilizer cycling. Every chair ready for the next patient. Chairside Service Partners acquires and grows the dental equipment service and repair businesses that keep practices running, and offers a long-term home for the operators who built them.

Four disciplines. One trusted partner.

01

Handpiece Repair & Refurbishment

High-speed and low-speed handpiece repair, turbine rebuilds, and electric motor service. The highest-failure, highest-touch instrument in dentistry, returned to spec with documented turnaround.

OEM-Spec Rebuilds
02

Sterilizer & Autoclave Service

Preventive maintenance, repair, and validation for autoclaves, washer-disinfectors, and ultrasonic units. Spore testing support and infection-control documentation aligned to CDC and OSHA guidance.

CDC Aligned
03

Compressors, Vacuum & Utility Room

Oil-less and oil-lubricated compressors, dry and wet-ring vacuum systems, amalgam separators, and the full mechanical room. The infrastructure that determines whether the practice opens on Monday morning.

Same-Day Response
04

Imaging & Operatory Equipment

Intraoral and panoramic x-ray, CBCT calibration, intraoral cameras, dental chairs, delivery units, and operatory lights. Full-service maintenance across the digital and mechanical equipment that defines a modern operatory.

Calibration & Repair

We do things differently than every other buyer.

Dental equipment service is the unseen infrastructure of every practice. When a handpiece fails or an autoclave goes down, the schedule collapses, patients wait, and revenue evaporates. The companies that get this right are built by great technicians, great service managers, and great owners, and our job is to honor that. When you sell your dental equipment service business to Chairside, nothing that matters gets torn apart.

01 — People

Your team stays.

We don't restructure what made you successful. Your technicians, dispatchers, and account managers keep their jobs, their tenure, and their customer relationships. We build around them.

02 — Brand

Your name stays.

In almost every case, your company keeps its name. The doctors and office managers you've earned trust with continue working with the brand they've known for years. We operate behind the scenes.

03 — Legacy

What you built stays.

We are not buying your business to flip it. We are building a long-term home for the operators who built this industry, and we intend to hold it that way.

04 — Culture

People-first is the model.

Technician retention, response time, and doctor relationships are not soft metrics. They are the business. We invest in the people who drive them.

05 — Operations

Support, not interference.

We bring professional tools: dispatch and ticketing platforms, parts inventory systems, technician recruiting, and back-office support. We take the admin burden off your team, not the work.

06 — Process

Straightforward from start to close.

LOI within two weeks of alignment. Diligence and close typically within 60 to 90 days. No drama, no surprises. We move when there is conviction.

Thinking about selling your dental equipment service business?

If you own a dental equipment service or repair company and you are thinking about what comes next, we want to be the first call you make. What you built is critical infrastructure for every practice you serve. We are a dedicated acquirer of dental equipment service businesses, not a broker, not a marketplace, and not a financial buyer who will strip your company down. We acquire and grow.

Whether you are thinking about retirement, a transition to a new chapter, or simply exploring your options, we want to understand what you have built and what matters most to you. No pressure and no obligation in a first conversation.

Talk to Us
What does Chairside look for in a dental equipment service business?+
We look for operators with strong doctor relationships, dependable technician teams, and a reputation for fast, reliable response. We are drawn to recurring service work across general dentistry, specialty practices, DSOs, and dental schools. We especially value owners who care about what happens to their team after they step back.
What happens to my technicians and staff?+
Your team keeps their jobs, their tenure, and their customer relationships. We do not restructure post-close. We invest in them through training, certifications, manufacturer-authorized programs, and better tools, because their performance is the business.
How does Chairside value a business?+
We look at customer retention, recurring service contract density, technician stability, response time, and reputation alongside financial performance. We value businesses honestly and will walk you through our approach in a direct conversation.
What is the process for selling my dental service company?+
Initial conversation, then LOI within two weeks of alignment, then confirmatory diligence, then close. Typically 60 to 90 days from LOI to closing. No bankers required on your end. We handle the complexity.
What would my role look like after the sale?+
That depends entirely on what you want. Some owners stay on in an advisory role, others as active operators, and others transition out after close. We build the right structure around your goals, not a template.
Do you keep existing manufacturer authorizations and dealer relationships?+
Yes. Your A-dec, Midmark, Pelton & Crane, KaVo, Dentsply Sirona, Planmeca, and other authorizations are part of what makes the business valuable. We work to maintain and expand those relationships, not unwind them.

Dental equipment service is the unseen infrastructure of every practice. Every patient seen, every procedure billed, every chair turned depends on the technician who keeps the room running. The operators who built that work deserve a buyer who understands what they built.

Christian Ostberg & Lucas Li  ·  Co-Founders, Chairside Service Partners

Operators, not financiers.

Chairside Service Partners was co-founded by Christian Ostberg and Lucas Li, two operators who believe dental equipment service is critical infrastructure, not a commodity. We partner with founders ready to transition out of the day-to-day and preserve what they built.

Co-Founder, Chairside Service Partners
Christian Ostberg

Christian leads deal origination and post-close operations at Chairside. With a background as a leader across organizations of all shapes and sizes, he brings a disciplined, hands-on approach to partnering with business owners, grounded in the belief that bringing a new partner into your business is one of the most important moves you will ever make.

Based in Salt Lake City, Christian is the primary point of contact for sellers from first call to close, and remains engaged in the business long after the deal is done.

Co-Founder, Chairside Service Partners
Lucas Li

Lucas leads deal structuring, capital strategy, and diligence at Chairside. He brings analytical rigor, a long-term orientation, and a straightforward, no-bankers approach that sellers consistently tell us is the reason they chose to work with us rather than a traditional buyer.

Lucas works alongside Christian as a true partnership. Every seller gets both of us, on every conversation that matters.

Straightforward from first call to close.

01

Stewardship First

Advancing an owner's legacy is a privilege. We do right by our partners, their teams, and their customers in good times and in bad.

02

People Are the Business

Technician retention, response time, and doctor relationships are not soft metrics. They are the moat. We invest accordingly.

03

Excellence Without Shortcuts

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of repair quality, OEM specifications, and infection-control compliance. Trained, documented, and accountable.

04

Honest and Direct

We say what needs to be said. We do what we say we will do. The operators we work with deserve nothing less than that.

05

Long-Term Thinking

We are not buying businesses to flip them. We are building a platform we intend to hold for a decade or more. That changes everything.

06

Curious and Humble

We show up to learn. The operators who built this industry know things we don't. We ask questions before we make decisions.

Let us take care of your legacy

Dental equipment service and repair is the unseen infrastructure of modern dentistry. The handpiece spinning at 400,000 RPM, the autoclave running its sterilization cycle, the compressor humming in the utility room, the CBCT scanner producing diagnostic images — none of dental care happens without the technicians and service companies behind that equipment. Chairside Service Partners is an acquirer of the dental equipment service and repair companies that keep practices running.

If you are looking to sell your dental equipment service business, sell your handpiece repair company, or find a buyer for your dental compressor and vacuum service operation, we are the buyer you have been looking for. We buy dental equipment service businesses directly, without brokers, without auctions, and without the uncertainty of a marketplace listing. We are a dedicated buyer focused exclusively on the dental equipment service sector, including handpiece repair, sterilizer and autoclave service, compressor and vacuum maintenance, dental chair and operatory equipment service, and imaging system calibration.

Why sell your dental equipment service business to Chairside Service Partners?

What kind of dental equipment service businesses do we acquire?

We are focused on acquiring dental equipment service and repair businesses generating between $1 million and $30 million in annual revenue. We are most interested in operators with recurring service contracts, certified technician teams, and customers across general dentistry, specialty practices, dental service organizations (DSOs), and dental schools. We also acquire adjacent service lines such as handpiece refurbishment, intraoral and panoramic x-ray service, CBCT calibration, sterilizer validation, dental compressor and vacuum maintenance, amalgam separator service, dental chair and delivery unit repair, and operatory plumbing and utility infrastructure as part of a broader dental service platform.

Serving dental equipment service business owners nationwide
