About Jonathan

More Time Inside Dental Practices Than Anyone Alive

"Jonathan Ingalls has physically walked through more dental practice doors, met with more dentists face-to-face, and evaluated more operations on the ground than any other individual in the country. That's not a tagline — it's a verifiable fact."

San Diego

Where it all began — covering every corner of San Diego County for the CDA

Los Angeles

Expanded north through LA and the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society

Nevada

Took on the entire state — from the Las Vegas Strip to downtown Reno

Nationwide

Advising dentists across all 50 states on practice transitions

For over two decades, Jonathan Ingalls has been the person dentists call when the stakes are highest — when a practice needs to be sold, a career-defining acquisition is on the table, or a family is facing the sudden loss of a practitioner.

Jonathan's career began on the ground in San Diego, where the California Dental Association entrusted him with covering the entire county — visiting practices, meeting owners, and understanding the real operational heartbeat of private dentistry. His reputation for thoroughness and genuine care spread quickly.

The CDA expanded his territory north through Los Angeles and into the San Gabriel Valley Dental Society, where Jonathan became the go-to advisor for practices across one of the most competitive dental markets in the nation. But his reach didn't stop at the California border.

Jonathan was then asked to take on the entire state of Nevada — from the high-volume corporate practices on the Las Vegas Strip to the community-focused clinics in Reno. Whether it was a solo practitioner in a strip mall or a multi-location DSO, Jonathan walked the floors, reviewed the numbers, and understood what made each practice tick.

Today, as a licensed Practice Sales Broker, Jonathan brings that unmatched ground-level experience to every client engagement. He has personally visited thousands of dental practices — more than any other individual in the industry — and that knowledge translates into sharper valuations, better deal structures, and smoother transitions.
