Surely he is not seeing the problem at all. Patients do not want to go to another practice, they are very happy with the one they are with.

It's bad enough going to the dentist but if you are familiar with them, the staff and place it makes it easier for you.

Why should Dr Johnson have to close and where are all the staff going to work ? Are the seven practices taking on new dentists, nurses and receptionists?
