Revenue model

1. Dental Restoration Manufacturing: Elegant Dental Laboratory generates revenue by manufacturing and selling dental restorations (crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, aligners, orthodontic appliances) to dental practices. Practices submit cases digitally or via conventional impressions, and the lab bills per case/prosthetic produced. The lab offers tiered pricing including volume savings (up to 55% per unit on volume digital orders) and exclusive new-client pricing. Revenue is transaction-based per case, with accounts due within 30 days of statement date.
2. Clear Aligner System (Elegant Smile Aligners): The lab manufactures and sells custom clear aligner systems under the 'Elegant Smile Aligners' brand. Treatment plans are delivered within ~48 hours, revisions within ~24 hours, and aligners delivered in ~10 days after approval. Revenue is earned per aligner case submitted by dental practices.
3. Intraoral Scanner Partnership Program: Through a production-based partnership with scanner manufacturers, the lab provides free intraoral scanners to qualifying dental practices in exchange for a monthly production agreement. This drives recurring case volume to the lab as practices commit to sending digital impressions. The lab benefits from increased case flow while the practice avoids large capital purchases.
