Market-attractiveness positioning vs the public national benchmark, derived from local competition, demographics, and consolidation. Not a transaction comp and not a practice-specific valuation. Apply to the practice's own normalized financials. Benchmark ranges are public (Levin, FOCUS, BizBuySell).

Idaho dental practices grouped by size bucket. Solo practitioners are typically the highest acquisition value for brokers and DSO biz dev teams; large groups carry the highest-volume supply-rep accounts.
Structural context for the 1,643 providers above: DSO landscape, regulatory baseline, Medicaid reimbursement, workforce outlook, trigger-event detail, and the data refresh cadence behind every count on this page.
Idaho is the thirty-seventh-most-populous state but one of the faster-growing dental markets in the country, driven by population inflow into the Boise metropolitan area (Treasure Valley). The 1,643 dental providers tracked on this page concentrate around Boise-Nampa-Caldwell, with secondary markets in the Idaho Falls and Pocatello regions in the east and the Coeur d'Alene area in the north.
DSO penetration in Idaho runs at approximately 5.8%, in the middle range of our data set. Heartland Dental leads the Idaho chain list with 24 providers. The 96 DSO-affiliated providers in ID concentrate at the top of the chain rankings, with Heartland Dental dominant and the rest of the list fragmented across smaller state-native practices.
Idaho dental licensing is administered by the Idaho State Board of Dentistry, a unit of the Idaho Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL). ProviderSignal pulls Idaho license data from DOPL's Thentia FAST portal on a weekly cadence via the bulk-search export.
A practical fact worth knowing: the Idaho dental dataset does not publish street address on the public roster. Address coverage on the Idaho workforce comes primarily from NPPES.
Idaho Medicaid dental is administered through the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The fee schedule we ingest covers 73 D-codes, the narrowest Medicaid dental coverage among the states in our data set. Idaho Medicaid dental coverage is among the most limited in the country, focused on emergency procedures and a narrow list of basic restorative services. Pediatric coverage is broader than adult.
The fee schedule refreshes on a roughly quarterly cadence. Our pipeline re-checks the Idaho DHW source every 90 days.
Retirement risk in Idaho is computed against the License First Issued date published by DOPL. The 196 providers flagged on this page are those whose license tenure places them in the cohort statistically most likely to retire or sell their practice within the next 5 years.
Idaho does not have an in-state ADA-accredited dental school. Idaho dentists train primarily at out-of-state programs (most notably the WICHE/WWAMI regional partnership programs and Oregon Health & Science University) and return to Idaho for associateships.
The dashboard's trigger feed for Idaho concentrates on the Boise Treasure Valley region, with secondary clusters in Coeur d'Alene and Idaho Falls.
New-associate landings cluster in the Boise metro, driven by the population inflow that has made the Treasure Valley one of the fastest-growing metropolitan dental markets in the country.
