Try Henry Schein, but negotiate hard — nobody pays the same rate

On my 3rd consultant this year. Still don't have a straight answer

The system is rigged.

Paying more, by design

Three practices. Three prices.

One SKU — SonicFill 3 bulk composite refills — quoted three different ways in the same market.

SonicFill 3 bulk fill composite refills
SonicFill 3 · Bulk Fill Composite · A1
Practice A
$182
Practice B
$156
Practice C
$124

Nobody pays the same rate. Without group leverage, the price is whatever you happened to be offered.

Why did a group of dentists sue the big three?

FTC vs. Benco, Henry Schein & Patterson

No discounts for buying groups.

Decision final

The court ruled in favor of the dentists for an $80 million settlement.

The process is rigged too.

What is 4 hours a week of your team’s time worth?
$6,000/year

in team-member time spent ordering supplies

That’s 200+ hours a year your team could spend on patients, people, and running the practice.

Purchasing shouldn’t take your team out of the moment.

But you shouldn’t have to pay 28% more for convenience.

DSOs aren’t smarter.
They’re bigger.
