DentKits

DentKits operates within the teledentistry market, providing a direct-to-consumer channel for custom-made dentures. Established in 2017 by founders Kevin Early and Serge Kalashnik, the Las Vegas-based company aims to increase the accessibility and affordability of dental prosthetics. The business model circumvents traditional dental office visits by shipping at-home impression kits directly to consumers. This process allows customers to create their own dental molds, which are then sent back to DentKits.

Using these impressions, the company employs 3D scanning and imaging technology to design and fabricate a variety of dental products, including full dentures, partials, flippers, and Nesbit partials. A key component of their service is that each case, including impression scans and denture design, is reviewed and prescribed by a licensed dentist in the customer's state before the final product is made. For full denture orders, a try-in version is sent to the customer for approval to ensure proper fit and aesthetics before the final denture is manufactured. This remote, doctor-directed process can result in savings of up to 60% compared to the costs at a local dental office.

The company's product line is fabricated using 3D printing technology and materials purported to be highly resistant to fractures and moisture. In addition to new dentures, DentKits offers services for denture repair and duplication, where they can scan an existing or broken denture to create a new, digitally repaired version. To facilitate purchases, the company offers payment plans through third-party financing. The company has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since November 2023.
