Why Own a Dental Practice Instead of Just Working at One?
Owning a dental practice isn’t just about making more money. It’s about creating long-term stability, freedom, and a career that works for you.
Why settle? Here’s just four reasons why ownership puts you ahead.
How can I Become a Dental Practice Owner?
You have 1 of 2 Path Options
Traditional Path
The Traditional Path is why CLD was created. Dr. Park (our CEO), saw how difficult it was for dentists to navigate ownership on their own. CLD makes it possible to become an owner right away while keeping your autonomy and being your own boss.
From day one, you are the practicing owner of your own CLD clinic. You focus on dentistry, while we handle the business side—marketing, recruiting, operations, and innovation. You keep the control, along with the benefits of ownership: income, equity, and flexibility.
With CLD, you are never alone. Our leadership team and network of owners are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Or Try Ownership (Before You Commit) PATH
If you’ve been dreaming of ownership but want to get to know us first, the Try Ownership Path is for you. You begin as an associate at your CLD clinic, working side by side with your team and experiencing how we operate.
Stay three days, six months, a year, or longer—whatever feels right. When you are ready, you step into ownership of your clinic with full confidence.
This path gives you time to adjust, learn, and build trust while knowing that CLD is here to support you the right way. Ownership is a big change, and the Try First Path makes it simple.
Is Dental Ownership for Me?
The truth is, ownership is for everyone. Whether you’re a brand-new dental graduate, a seasoned dentist, a former owner considering another try, or someone who’s worked with other franchises but longed for more autonomy. Clear Lakes Dental equips you with the tools, support, and freedom to succeed as an owner.
And you don’t have to take our word for it. We have owners from each of these backgrounds. Take a moment to read their stories…starting with the one that feels most like yours.

No Ownership Experience?
No Problem.
You don’t need decades of experience to own a thriving dental practice. In fact one of our most successful franchise owners launched his first CLD clinic just 8 months after graduating from dental school, and now owns 2 CLD clinics!
With CLD, you’ll learn everything you need to know, from business operations to patient management, without the steep learning curve.
You’re never too early in your career to start building wealth and independence!
