Our Dental-Specialized Wealth Planning Process

We know dental practice owners don’t just need a financial plan—they need a partner who understands the complexities of their world. That’s what our planning process is all about: focused advice, honest conversation, and a tailored strategy that fits both your business and your life. Here’s what to expect when you request your complimentary consultation.

1. Initial Conversation

After you request your complimentary consultation, one of our Allworth team members will reach out to learn more about you, your practice, and your goals. From there, they’ll match you with the dental-specialized advisor best suited to your situation and schedule your appointment.

2. Laying the Groundwork

To make the most of your consultation, we’ll send you a Personal Details Sheet to complete at least three days before your meeting. This will give us a fuller, more complete picture of your current financial position—both personally and professionally—so we can craft relevant strategies.

3. Your Initial Plan Gets Built

Once we receive your Personal Details Sheet, our dental-specialized team starts building your custom Retirement Plan Proposal. This includes a detailed retirement readiness analysis, ‘what-if’ scenario planning, and a clear forecast of how different retirement plan offerings—401(k), safe harbor, profit sharing, and cash balance opportunities—can work together to maximize your retirement savings.

4. Meet & Review

During your 60 to 90-minute consultation, your dental-specialized advisor will walk through each part of your Retirement Plan Proposal, helping you assess your current trajectory and identify high-impact areas for adjustment. You’ll get practical recommendations and a clearer sense of how to move your personal financial strategy—and your practice’s—forward with precision.
