Colloquially known as ADX, it’s the only federal supermax prison in the country, and no one has ever escaped the “Alcatraz of the Rockies.” Opened in November 1994, the facility sits on the outskirts of Florence, a small town in Fremont County (aka Colorado’s Correctional Capitol). As of July 2024, ADX incarcerates 335 men convicted of federal crimes.

BY SAKO KARAKOZIAN, DDSI HAVE NEVER questioned my decision to start a practice in Los Angeles. That doesn’t mean I’ve never thought about leaving. California has more dental schools than any other state, and dental offices are almost as common as gas stations. True, it’s sunny year-round, but housing prices are astro-nomical and taxes strain our finances.

BY WHITNEY D. WEINER, DDS, MS I BUY JUNK PRACTICES. There, I said it. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t mean they’re literally trash. They just don’t have much—or sometimes any—cash flow, and that’s the bank’s definition of junk. Practices can fall into poor financial straits for lots of reasons. They usually tend to be little offices that DSOs aren’t interested in, so the seller’s options are limited (which also means that as a buyer you have less competition). However, they’re often far from worthless.

BY KRISTEN JORDAN THE OLD SAYING is a practice goes down in value 20 percent per month until it’s worth zero. But I think it’s more like 50 percent in the first month and 20 percent a month after that.” That’s what Dr. Kyle Roth thinks about one of the worst-case scenarios when selling your practice: closing it, or letting it slowly wither away, when the time comes to sell. Why would anyone do that? Surprisingly, according to Dr. Roth, “it happens a lot, a lot, a lot.” He would know.
