Why Experience Matters If You're Calling a Broker "Best" Nationwide
The best dental broker isn't the one who can list your practice. It's the one with enough real-world depth to protect value after the offer—when diligence, financing, legal structure, and timelines can either hold the deal together or trigger a re-trade.
That's why the most experienced nationwide dental brokerages aren't built around one personality. They're built around a team with specialized roles that map directly to what closes dental deals.
The expertise a "best-in-class" brokerage needs — and how Dental Pitch covers it
Dental Pitch is an experienced dental brokerage team because its 168 combined years are concentrated in the exact pillars of successful dental transitions.

Elijah Desmond (RDH) — Co-Founder & Co-CEO
Elijah combines clinical roots with national dental entrepreneurship and education—helping sellers protect more than price: culture, team stability, and legacy. His background supports coaching dentists on positioning value and navigating exits with clarity.
Institutional finance + DSO value-building
Jason Brown — Managing Director, Oak Dental Partners
Jason brings deep finance experience and serves as Managing Director at Oak Dental Partners (70+ locations in 9 states), providing real enterprise-value and financing perspective to sell-side preparation.
Buy-side underwriting + diligence repetition
Austin Hunter — 50+ Transactions, $500M+
Austin built acquisition capability at a major DSO and executed 50+ transactions totaling $500M+. That buy-side depth helps sellers anticipate buyer objections and tighten diligence prep before going to market.
Legal + tax structuring
Matt Kaynard — President & COO, LL.M. in Tax
Matt holds an honors B.A., honors J.D., and an LL.M. in Tax—expertise that matters directly when structure, allocations, and compliance affect the seller's net outcome at closing.
VP of Dental Brokerage Operations
Michelle Barrios — 34 Years of Combined Experience
Michelle brings 25 years in dentistry and 9 years in project management, operations, and marketing. As VP of Operations, she runs the systems that keep dental transitions on track—coordinating seller onboarding, marketing, buyer communications, and internal workflows so deals move smoothly, stay confidential, and close with fewer surprises.
Pre-sale EBITDA improvement
Matt Still — Consultant to 750+ Independent Dental Practices

Matt Still — Dental Pitch Brokerage →Choosing "Experienced" and "Best" Nationwide
When dentists search for the "best" broker or a "most experienced" broker, they're usually trying to avoid three things: being undersold, getting retraded, or watching the deal fall apart late.
The right broker protects what you built by running a seller-first process that proves value early, qualifies buyers, protects terms through closing—and gets you more money.
Proves value early — so retrades are harder to justify
Qualifies buyers — so you negotiate from strength, not desperation
Protects terms through closing — so the deal you signed is the deal you close
