Dental Search Strategy | Norway
Finding the Right Dental Business to Build for the Long Term
Eiyara Capital is conducting a focused search for an established dental or oral healthcare business in Norway where strong clinical foundations, thoughtful succession and long-term growth can come together.
One great business. Thoughtful succession. Long-term ownership.
01 — Our Search Focus
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for established dental businesses with strong fundamentals and owners who care about what happens to their practice, patients and team after a transition.
Geography
Norway
Sector
Dental & Oral Healthcare
Business Profile
Established and profitable practices or small dental groups
Team
Multiple clinicians with a stable clinical and support team
Patients
Established patient relationships and recurring demand
Succession
Owners considering retirement, succession or a gradual transition

Potential for sustainable organic growth and selective expansion

02 — How We Search
A Focused, Relationship-Led Search

Build a targeted universe of established dental businesses across Norway.

Learn about the practice, its history, team, patients and the owner's objectives.
Build a Relationship
Start confidential, direct conversations with owners before discussing transaction structures.

Assess clinical quality, financial performance, team stability, operations and long-term potential.
Structure the Transition
Develop a transaction and transition plan that works for the seller, employees, patients and future business.
Operate & Build
Take an active ownership and leadership role while preserving what made the business successful.
03 — Our Approach
Technology-Supported. Relationship-Led.
Eiyara Capital uses structured data, technology and disciplined analysis to identify and evaluate potential opportunities.
Technology can help us understand markets, organise information, benchmark businesses and identify potential opportunities. But acquiring a healthcare business cannot be reduced to an algorithm. Clinical culture, patient trust, leadership, team dynamics and the ambitions of the existing owner require human judgment and direct relationships.

- Structured CRM
- Financial analysis
- Benchmarking
- Due diligence organisation
Human Judgment

04 — Why Dental
Built by a Dentist, for the Next Chapter of Dental Businesses
Eiyara Capital was founded by Eirin Tunheim, DDS, a practising dentist with direct experience in Norwegian private dental practice. This provides first-hand understanding of the realities behind a dental business — clinicians, patients, staffing, scheduling, capacity, clinical quality and practice economics.
Our objective is not simply to acquire a company. It is to become a responsible long-term owner and operator.

05 — Our Approach to Succession
Preserving What Works. Building What's Next.
A dental practice may represent decades of work by its owner. We believe a successful acquisition should protect that legacy while preparing the business for its next stage.
People First
Protect relationships with patients, clinicians and employees.
Continuity
Create a thoughtful transition rather than unnecessary disruption.
Operator-Led
Active ownership with direct responsibility for the business.
Long-Term Focus
Build sustainable value rather than optimising for a quick resale.
06 — Value Creation
Growth After Acquisition
Following an acquisition, our initial priority is stability and continuity. Growth comes after understanding the business.
Potential areas of development may include:
- Clinician recruitment and retention
- Scheduling and capacity utilisation
- Patient recall and reactivation
- Improved management information
- Procurement and operating efficiency
- Digital systems and workflow improvement
- Expansion of treatment capacity where demand supports it
- Selective acquisitions of complementary practices
"Operational improvement first. Expansion second."
07 — For Practice Owners
Thinking About the Future of Your Practice?
You do not need to be ready to sell today. We welcome confidential conversations with dental practice owners who are considering succession now or several years into the future.
Whether you are considering retirement, reducing your clinical workload, bringing in a long-term partner or exploring a full transition, we are happy to begin with an informal conversation.
