Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedPractice owners and DSO executives (e.g. Pacific Dental Services, listed as a partner) who buy capital equipment for dental offices.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
UnverifiedDentist shortage and patient backlog; founder says there are not enough dentists to treat all patients, so chairside throughput is the pain.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Handheld OCT intraoral scanner captures 3D volumes including below the gum line, AI diagnoses and plans treatment, then a robot performs restorative work (target 15 minutes, one visit for a crown versus two one-hour visits).
Distribution: how it reaches customers
UnverifiedPre-commercial: prototype stage, not FDA 510(k) cleared or for sale in the US; partnerships with DSO Pacific Dental Services, ADA-Forsyth and Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
