A Winning Concept with Powerful Advantages for Today's Professionals!
The Dentist's Choice™ is the industry-leading franchised network of locally owned dental handpiece businesses (low and high speed drills) offering repair, service and sales to dentists nationwide.
Recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine in the "Top 101 Home-Based Franchises" in May 2001, and continually ranked in the "Annual Franchise 500" and "Best of the Best" issues.
You, as a franchise owner, operate in a large protected territory under a franchise agreement that promotes uniformity and consistency of personalized quality service, fast turnaround time, affordable prices and a 90-day parts and service guarantee.
Since the early 1990's, the need for handpiece repair has grown dramatically, in part because OSHA and the American Dental Association recommended dentists sterilize each handpiece after every patient use. Sterilization subjects the handpiece to extreme heat and moisture in a pressurized chamber. The process accelerates the deterioration of moving parts and results in increased failure rates of the handpieces - creating continued growth and demand for our service.
The Dentist's Choice™ franchisees are well received by the dental community because the service they provide is local, personalized and professional. Dentists are quick to embrace the personal pick-up and delivery, quick response time, affordable price and 90-day guarantee of replacement parts and workmanship.
The Dentist's Choice™ offers a year-round, comprehensive training program. Franchise owners spend a minimum of one week at the corporate office to receive personalized, hands-on training in handpiece repair and marketing from expert technicians and business professionals. Our extensive support offers a complete complement of services such as technical repair, operations, marketing, sales and technical updates.
Your training is intense, but you can be confident in knowing that you will have the tools and education necessary to succeed and, more importantly, you are not alone. Simply put, you can rely on the team of professionals at the corporate office when you need help!

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
