For some, it marks the beginning of a new journey into leadership and ownership. For others, it represents the chance to step back, enjoy the rewards of a career well spent, and move confidently into retirement. At Western Practice Sales, we understand the weight of these transitions, because we’ve lived them.
Founded in 2001, Western Practice Sales has spent decades helping dentists across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah navigate the complex world of practice transitions. What makes our team different isn’t just our experience, but our perspective. Our brokers aren’t just business professionals — they include former dentists, practice owners, and dental industry experts who know firsthand what it’s like to sit in your chair.
Meet Dr. Michael Weis
One of those people is Dr. Michael Weis, a dentist turned practice broker who brings a uniquely personal lens to every deal. Dentistry was always close to home for Dr. Weis. Growing up, he watched his father balance a successful dental career with family life, and it inspired him to pursue the same path. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2018, he spent several years as an associate before stepping into ownership himself.
In 2022, Dr. Weis launched Vibrant Dental, where he built a thriving practice rooted in culture, growth, and patient-first care. In just two and a half years, the practice grew exponentially. But along the way, he discovered something bigger than dentistry: a passion for leadership, mentorship, and helping others achieve their own goals. That realization led him to join Western Practice Sales, where he now channels his clinical and business experience into guiding dentists through the buying and selling process.
