Dentists run clinical practice through a PLLC (required by state board) and use Wyoming anonymous LLCs for non-clinical income, real estate, and asset protection.

PLLC for the clinical practice in the practice state. Wyoming anonymous LLC for asset holdings, real estate, and non-clinical income. Pair the WY LLC with a holding-company structure if the dentist owns multiple practice locations or real estate.
Dental practices face malpractice exposure plus the routine business risks of small employers (employment claims, vendor disputes). Asset protection planning separates personal wealth from practice exposure. An anonymous LLC keeps real estate and investment assets out of state-record discoverability.
Strong asset protection. No state income tax. Compatible with multi-practice holding structures. Operating agreement supports later partner additions.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Yes — and this is standard. The practice rents from the LLC, keeping real estate and practice operations separately owned.
