Tooth Bank

What Tooth Bank does

ToothBank is a privately held dental stem cell banking company that cryogenically preserves mesenchymal stem cells extracted from dental pulp — primarily wisdom teeth, baby teeth, and teeth removed for orthodontic reasons. The company serves individual consumers (typically parents banking their children's teeth or adults banking their own extracted teeth) and uses a referral network of practicing dentists as its primary patient acquisition channel. Its core service is the cryogenic storage of dental pulp tissue at -196°C, intended to preserve the biological material indefinitely for potential future regenerative medicine applications.

The technical operation relies on a multi-site infrastructure: ToothBank is headquartered in Encinitas, California, with an FDA-registered, CLIA-certified processing laboratory in Brownsburg, Indiana, and a long-term storage facility in Indianapolis. Revenue is generated through a two-part pricing structure — a one-time processing fee of $500 plus recurring annual storage fees — with storage pricing tiered across 1-year ($150/yr), 5-year ($120/yr), 10-year ($110/yr), and 20-year ($100/yr) plans. Cumulative revenue per customer therefore ranges from approximately $650 (1-year plan) to $2,500 (20-year plan), with longer plans effectively prepaid retention contracts. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supplemented by dentist referrals orchestrated through a board of practicing dentists that lends clinical credibility to the offering.

The company is founded and operated by Randy Garland, DDS, and operates exclusively in the United States. It holds FDA registration, CLIA certification, and HIPAA compliance, but has not disclosed any external funding rounds, headcount, or revenue figures. The combination of a niche clinical service, recurring storage economics, and a regulated medical infrastructure produces a small but durable consumer healthcare business with limited public visibility into its scale or financial trajectory.

Revenue model

1. Dental Stem Cell Processing Fee: One-time processing fee of $500 charged for initial collection, isolation, testing, and cryogenic preparation of stem cells. This is a upfront cost required to process the dental pulp sample.
2. Annual Cryogenic Storage: Recurring annual storage fees starting at $150/year for 1-year plan, with discounted rates for multi-year prepaid plans ($120/year for 5-year, $110/year for 10-year, $100/year for 20-year). Storage rate is locked in at enrollment and never increases.

Direct peers

• Store-A-Tooth (Provias Labs / PSA): One of the most established direct competitors in U.S. dental stem cell banking, offering similar cryogenic storage of dental pulp MSCs from wisdom teeth and baby teeth to families; directly comparable in product, customer base, and pricing tier.
• Stemodontics: Dental stem cell banking service collecting and cryopreserving mesenchymal stem cells from teeth, competing head-to-head with ToothBank for the same family/parent customer via dentist referrals and DTC marketing.
• National Dental Pulp Laboratory: U.S.-based dental pulp stem cell cryobank offering extraction, processing, and storage services to families and dental offices, directly overlapping ToothBank's end-to-end service model.
• BioEden: International stem cell bank focused on collecting and storing stem cells from children's teeth, directly competing with ToothBank for the same baby-tooth customer segment in select markets.
• StemSave: Dental stem cell banking service that partners with dentists to cryopreserve autologous stem cells from extracted teeth; overlaps ToothBank on technology, channel (dentist referrals), and consumer messaging.

Broad incumbents

• ViaCord: Established cord blood and tissue banking service from a large commercial parent (Revvity/PerkinElmer legacy), serving a related but broader stem cell banking category that competes for the same family's preventive-healthcare dollars.
• Cord Blood Registry (CBR): Largest U.S. cord blood stem cell bank; competes for the same parental "biological insurance" wallet share but from a cord-blood origin, often referenced by ToothBank customers as the missed first-chance alternative.
• Cryo-Cell International: Public, multi-decade stem cell banking company offering cord blood and menstrual blood-derived stem cell storage; broader portfolio player whose family-banking customers overlap with ToothBank's target demographic.
• StemCyte: Global cord blood bank with therapeutic and family banking arms; overlaps with ToothBank on the broader stem cell banking proposition targeting expectant and health-conscious parents.

Regional players

• Future Health Biobank: UK-based stem cell and tissue storage bank with international reach; competes with ToothBank in adjacent stem cell banking categories (cord blood, cord tissue, dental pulp) but primarily serves European customers.
