If you’re trying to keep a dental office stocked, there are lots of different materials and supplies you need.
Many are from specialized labs and vendors like composites and loopes, dental dams and such.
But many dental supplies are also commodities sold at stores like Walmart, Costco, and Amazon. This includes printer ink, printer paper, gloves, masks, and cotton rolls.
According to Joyful Teeth, you can save up to 30-50% on printer ink alone by price tracking stores like Office Depot.
I’ve seen another 10-20% savings by stocking up at the right time.
It’s especially interesting to see the price of different types of crowns, with PFM crowns typically the cheapest.
