What The Dentists Supply Company does

The Dentists Supply Company (TDSC, Inc.) is an online-only e-commerce retailer that sells dental supplies and office essentials directly to dental practitioners across the United States. The company operates a self-serve marketplace at TDSC.com covering 30+ product categories — including Adhesive Materials, Burs, CAD/CAM, Endodontics, Infection Control, Instruments, Orthodontic Products, Pharmaceutical Products, Surgical Products, and X-ray Materials — alongside an Office Supplies & Furniture section, aggregating SKUs from 24+ featured manufacturers such as Henry Schein, Dentsply Sirona, Colgate, Ivoclar Vivadent, and Hu-Friedy. The platform is built as a conventional transactional storefront with publicly disclosed per-product pricing, free shipping options, no order minimum, and reported customer savings of 10-25% versus competing suppliers.

TDSC generates revenue through direct product sales on a transaction-based, pay-as-you-go model. Its go-to-market is product-led and self-serve, with customer acquisition driven primarily through formal partnerships with all 50 state dental associations — beginning with the California Dental Association — that channel association-member traffic and offer exclusive member discounts. The company was founded in 2017 and was formally established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Henry Schein, Inc. in October 2020, leveraging the parent's nationwide distribution and supply chain infrastructure to deliver orders within 1-2 days in many locations. TDSC is headquartered at 135 Duryea Road, Melville, NY, operates exclusively in the U.S. market, and employs between 11 and 50 people.

Direct peers

• Midway Dental Supply: Midway Dental is a mid-sized dental distributor serving thousands of U.S. dental practices with consumables, equipment, and repair services. Comparable to TDSC in customer segment (SMB dental practices) and product offerings, though smaller in scale and lacking the Henry Schein distribution backbone.
• Benco Dental: Benco Dental is the largest privately-held dental distributor in the U.S., serving dental practices with a similar product breadth to TDSC (supplies, equipment, pharmaceuticals). Both target SMB dental offices nationwide, though Benco operates a hybrid model of field reps plus online ordering versus TDSC's pure e-commerce approach.
• Darby Dental: Darby Dental is a full-line dental supply distributor serving dental and veterinary practices. Overlaps with TDSC across dental supplies, equipment, and pharmaceuticals to SMB practices, with comparable catalog breadth and target market though operating through traditional rep-based channels.
• Burkhart Dental: Burkhart Dental Supply is a major privately-held dental distributor serving the Western U.S. with full dental supply catalogs. Comparable to TDSC in target customer (dental practices) and product categories, but differentiated by regional concentration and a hybrid sales rep / online model.
• Patterson Companies: Patterson Companies (NASDAQ: PDCO) is one of the two largest dental supply distributors in North America. Patterson Dental competes directly with TDSC's Henry Schein-backed offering across product categories, customer base (SMB dental practices), and distribution model, though Patterson relies more on field sales reps while TDSC is online-only.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Business: Amazon Business is the B2B procurement arm of Amazon, increasingly serving dental practices for supplies, disposables, and office products. Comparable as an online-first SMB procurement platform competing for the same dental practice wallet share, with far broader logistics scale and product breadth than TDSC.
• Henry Schein, Inc. Henry Schein (NASDAQ: HSIC) is TDSC's parent and one of the world's largest dental and medical distributors. As TDSC's parent, Henry Schein provides supply chain infrastructure; as a broader dental distributor, it competes in adjacent SMB channels via its traditional rep-based catalog and other digital properties.
• McKesson Medical-Surgical: McKesson is one of the largest healthcare distributors in North America, supplying medical, dental, and veterinary practices through wholesale and digital channels. Comparable to TDSC in the dental distribution overlap (pharmaceuticals, supplies) and in targeting SMB healthcare providers, though operating at much greater scale with broader healthcare focus.
