Two ways for independent labs to take back their state with iHomeDental

Built by a CDT, for CDTs — A proven 8-year online model now open for independent labs.

The dental lab landscape has shifted. DSOs and private equity groups consolidated labs, siphoned dentist clients, and squeezed independents. I saw this coming and pioneered at-home dentistry—launching one of the first direct-to-consumer teeth whitening tray sites over 15 years ago. I’ve run a lab for 47 years (25 as a CDT), and I built iHomeDental so labs like yours can win direct patient business—with the home impression kit at the center.

Why Now?

• DSOs/PE are crowding out independents.
• SmileDirectClub proved demand but overspent on retail locations.
• The at-home model works—and labs can run it profitably.

Choose Your Path

Option 1: Affiliate Program (Hands-off, simple)

• Every major city is exclusive to one lab. If your lab is not located in a large enough city, you may claim the closest major city near you—provided it is not already taken.
• We handle manufacturing, marketing/SEO, customer service, kits, and shipping.
• You earn 15% of every order generated from your exclusive city page. Since iHomeDental only advertises major cities, customers must select the nearest city before placing an order—ensuring all orders in your area are credited to you.
• Payouts: twice monthly to your PayPal, released 30 days after delivery (to align with return policy).
• Risk-free trial: $150/month for 3 months → then $300/month to keep your city slot.

Best for: Labs who want to test the waters with minimal overhead.
Private Participation: Your lab’s name stays hidden on the site, so dentists you currently serve won’t know you’re participating.

Option 2: Partner Website Page (Shared-responsibility)

Your page, your brand

• A dedicated page on iHomeDental.com for your lab profile, services, and products.
• You choose which appliances to offer and set your regional pricing.

We manage the customer journey

• Customer service
• Impression kit shipping
• Coordination of shipping & delivery

You manage production & demand

• Fabricate the appliances you offer.
• Promote your Partner Page in your market.

Full transparency

• CRM login to track orders, leads, contacts, impression photos, and shipping activity in real time.

Partner service fees (per order):

• Cancel before kit ships → $0 (patient refunded; no cost to you).
• Cancel after kit ships, before impressions returned → $25 (covers kit + shipping; patient refunded balance; your payout not affected).
• Cancel after device delivered → $30 fulfillment fee retained by iHomeDental; patient refunded rest; you are still paid for fabrication.
• Completed order → $50 service fee deducted; remainder stays with your lab.

Best for: Labs who want a branded online storefront and pricing control while we handle customer-facing details.
Your Information: Your lab’s name will be posted on your website page so dentists and consumers know who is making the appliances. This option gives you full visibility, credibility, and the ability to brand your lab directly.
