Dental Lab for Sale - Business Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, full-service dental laboratory in California with a proven track record of profitability and a loyal, broad-based client roster. Founded in 2019, the business has grown to serve approximately 150 active dental practices across the region and now generates over $2.1 million in annual revenue, delivering $507,000 in seller discretionary earnings.
The lab fabricates a comprehensive range of prosthetic and restorative dental products, including crowns, bridges, veneers, implant restorations, full dentures, partial dentures, and digital impression-based restorations. It operates with industry-standard digital design, lab management, and payment processing systems, allowing for a structured, repeatable workflow that does not depend on day-to-day owner involvement.
With a team of 9 full-time dental technicians and 2 administrative staff in place, strong systems supporting operations, and a client base composed almost entirely of repeat customers, this business is positioned for a smooth transition to new ownership. The current owner is selling to retire and is committed to ensuring continuity for both staff and clients. If you are interested in learning more, request an NDA.
Business Details
Investment Highlights
$507,000 in seller discretionary earnings on $2.1M in revenue, reflecting a strong 24% SDE margin.
Approximately 150 active dentist accounts, the majority retained for more than one year.
Crown turnaround of approximately 7 working days and denture turnaround of approximately 12 working days, offering a competitive advantage over overseas alternatives.
No formal marketing spend, meaning substantial growth upside through any structured outreach or sales effort.
Tenured technical staff with a structured production workflow that does not require direct owner involvement.
Industry-standard digital design and lab management systems in place, supporting scalability.
Strong online reputation with a 4.7-star rating.
Two suites of professional commercial lab space, fully equipped and lease-assignable to a new owner.
Operations
The lab operates Monday through Friday and is staffed by 9 full-time dental technicians supported by 2 full-time administrative team members. Order intake, production scheduling, and quality control all follow established processes. The owner has confirmed that the business can continue to operate under new ownership without significant transition disruption, provided key technical staff are retained.
The business uses industry-standard software platforms for lab management, digital design, and payment processing, allowing a new owner to step into a technology-supported operation from day one. Inventory is maintained at approximately $10,000 to $15,000 in materials on hand, replenished on a rolling basis by order as needed.
The lab occupies two professional commercial suites and is equipped with digital design workstations, porcelain furnaces, and the full range of dental fabrication equipment required to support its product offering. The lease is assignable to a new owner, and monthly rent is $7,598. Square footage and lease expiration details are available under NDA.
Products and Services
The lab offers a full menu of prosthetic and restorative dental fabrication services covering the primary categories that dentists rely on for their patients' restorative care. The core service lines include fixed restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as implant-supported restorations. On the removable side, the lab produces full and partial dentures. The business also accepts digital impression files, enabling seamless integration with modern digital workflows used by its dentist clients.
The lab works with premium restorative materials and maintains a high standard of clinical quality, which the owner identifies as the primary driver of client loyalty and the reason dentists continue to choose the lab over overseas alternatives despite lower offshore pricing.
Customers and Market Position
The business serves approximately 150 active dental practices, with the majority of 2025 revenue coming from dentists who have been with the lab for more than one year. There are no formal contracts in place; client relationships are maintained on a case-by-case basis with pricing agreements offered at the start of new accounts. This model reflects the trust the lab has built through consistent quality and service.
New account acquisition has been driven entirely by word-of-mouth referrals. The business has no marketing budget and no dedicated sales function, meaning virtually all of its current revenue base was earned through reputation alone. For a buyer with a structured approach to outreach, trade shows, or digital marketing, the growth opportunity is substantial.
The lab competes with local dental laboratories and overseas fabricators. It differentiates on quality, turnaround time, and customer service, positioning itself as a reliable, relationship-driven alternative to lower-cost offshore options.
Growth Opportunities
The most immediate growth lever is marketing. The business currently spends nothing on formal customer acquisition, yet maintains a client base of approximately 150 accounts. Introducing even a modest outreach program, trade association presence, or direct sales effort targeting new dental practices in the region could meaningfully grow the account base and revenue.
Physical expansion of the lab represents a second opportunity, as the current space could support additional production capacity with incremental investment. A buyer with a background in dental services or laboratory management would also be well-positioned to introduce additional service lines or specialty fabrication to the existing client base.
Industry Context
The dental laboratory industry is experiencing sustained growth, driven by an aging population, rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, and increasing adoption of digital workflows. Industry analysts note that the market is bifurcating between large, high-volume operations and smaller labs that thrive on strong local relationships and quality, positioning well-run independent labs as attractive acquisition targets for buyers seeking a defensible, cash-flowing business.
The U.S. dental laboratory market is forecast to grow from approximately $10.4 billion in 2024 to nearly $17.9 billion by 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 5.6%. A California lab with a proven revenue base, an established client roster, and room to grow is entering the market at a favorable moment.
