San Antonio · Dental
We represent dentists in San Antonio on lease renewals, new practice locations, relocations, and practice purchases. The landlord pays our fee.
Check your lease free Talk to usSavings are Partners' aggregate results on completed healthcare renewals versus the landlord's initial proposal. Transaction value is the San Antonio team's total across all property types over the trailing 36 months, not healthcare alone. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. See the case studies.
A dental lease is really a build-out decision wearing a lease's clothing. Operatory count drives the square footage, plumbing and vacuum lines drive where the operatories can go, and whether the space has a prior dental build-out can swing your opening cost by six figures.
The second thing that moves the number is timing. Dental construction and permitting take months, and a landlord who knows your current lease expires soon has all the leverage. We start early enough that walking away stays a real option.
Site selection against the demographics that actually predict a dental practice: household income, rooftops and growth, competing practices per capita, and traffic your signage will catch. Plus a lease a bank will underwrite for the practice loan.
Reusing an existing dental suite can save a large part of your build-out, but only if the operatory layout, plumbing, and equipment fit your plan. We look before you commit.
When you buy a practice you inherit its lease. We read it before closing: remaining term, assignment and change-of-control language, personal guaranty, option rights, and whether the rent is at market or well over it.
Established practices have more leverage than they use. Patients follow a dentist a few minutes down the road, and landlords know it. That is the leverage we negotiate with.
Common Questions
Run both. The cost of moving a dental practice is real, dominated by new operatory build-out and downtime, but so is the cost of overpaying for another five or ten years. Pricing a credible alternative is also what makes a landlord improve the renewal offer, so the work is rarely wasted either way.
It follows the operatory count more than anything else, plus sterilization, lab, imaging, business office, and reception. We size from your operatory plan and growth intentions rather than from a rule of thumb, because paying for square footage you will not use is the most common avoidable dental lease mistake.
Yes, and before you close. The lease can be worth more or less than the practice's goodwill, and assignment language, remaining term, and guaranty terms are negotiable while the seller still needs the landlord's consent.
No. The landlord pays the tenant broker's commission out of the leasing commission it is already paying. If you negotiate without representation, the landlord's broker keeps that whole commission.
Part Of A National Healthcare Practice
In July 2026 Partners Real Estate added Crown Tenant Advisors, an Atlanta firm that has represented only healthcare tenants and buyers since 2009, and launched Partners Healthcare Services: a practice built specifically for medical, dental, and veterinary clients. We are the San Antonio and South Texas arm of it.
That matters when your practice grows past one market. Partners was founded in 1997, has more than 300 professionals, and serves 55 U.S. markets from offices in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Nashville. The healthcare team is licensed across Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama.
And where we do not have an office, we do not hand you to a junior broker in a branch. We bring in the best broker in that market, whatever firm they work for, and run the assignment with them. One relationship covers your second location, whether it is across 1604 or across the country.
Send us the lease, the LOI, or the practice you are buying. We will read it and tell you what stands out.
