A nice service to offer

Why it matters for dental
Solo-practice owners can add ~$180 profit per arch by selling milled duplicate dentures at $350 within 30 days of final delivery, converting existing digital designs into an incremental revenue stream.
Key points
- Production cost drops from $200–$220 for the first milled denture to ~$160 for the duplicate once the design is already paid for.
- 167 duplicate dentures sold in the past 12 months generated just over $30 k net profit for the practice.
- Offer window is strictly one month after final delivery; beyond that, a full-fee remake applies if the patient loses or damages the prosthesis.
- Service mirrors an existing corporate offering, allowing independent practices to compete on convenience without additional lab or chair time.
