What RiseWell does
RiseWell is a privately held, New York-based oral care company founded in 2016 that develops and distributes hydroxyapatite-based consumer and professional dental products. Its core technology leverages biomimetic mineral formulations: a Signature line built on 10% micro-hydroxyapatite sourced from French mines, and a PRO line combining an additional 5% nano-hydroxyapatite (NanoXIM CarePaste from Fluidinova, EU/SCCS-approved after eight years of safety studies) with the 10% micro base. The catalog spans adult and kids toothpastes (Wild Mint, Cake Batter, Flavorless variants), alcohol-free balancing mouthwash, hydroxyapatite-infused PFAS/Teflon-free floss, bamboo toothbrushes, on-the-go a-HA mints, professional-strength hydroxyapatite varnish, and bundled/travel SKUs — with one ancillary hand soap SKU under a sub-brand called Melo.
The company's business model is a three-channel hybrid. The primary engine is direct-to-consumer e-commerce at risewell.com on Shopify, anchored by a subscription program that offers a 15% discount versus one-time purchase and supports flexible monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or quad-monthly delivery, with free U.S. shipping above $40 and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pricing is segmented into two tiers — Signature at $12 ($10.20 subscription) for a 3.4 oz tube and PRO at $22 ($18.70 subscription) — plus a $98 professional varnish. A secondary dental professional channel operates through [email protected] and places RiseWell varnish and select SKUs in over 1,000 U.S. dental practices, generating both chairside and at-home demand. A third wholesale channel accepts non-dental wholesale inquiries and an implied Amazon marketplace presence rounds out distribution. The company markets through content (blog, science page, podcasts), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), email, customer reviews (17,000+ aggregated, 4.7–4.9 stars), and dental-professional referrals.
RiseWell is founder-controlled, with three co-founders — John Estrada, Kori Estrada, and Dr. Derek Gatta (a Walter Reed-trained, board-certified prosthodontist) — and is supported by a Scientific Council of dentists and physicians. No institutional funding rounds, acquisitions, subsidiaries, or parent entities have been disclosed. Customer segments addressed include health-conscious families, individuals with dental sensitivity, dental professionals seeking a fluoride-free alternative, and clean-beauty/wellness consumers prioritizing ingredient transparency.
