In 2023, a group of independent dental clinic owners found themselves grappling with rising operational costs that threatened their bottom lines. Over dinner, they sparked an idea that would redefine how they approached their businesses: rather than sourcing independently, they pooled their purchasing needs to negotiate better deals with dental labs. In just the first year, this collaborative approach saved them over $200,000 on lab fees alone. The success was undeniable, but they knew this was only the beginning.

 

Recognizing the potential for even greater savings and the need for dedicated leadership to manage this growing coalition, they invited Marlon Li, a graduate of Harvard University, to join as co-founder and CEO of DentiCoalition. With him at the helm, the organization solidified its mission: to empower independent dentists by representing their interests and securing high-quality supplies at the lowest possible costs.
