“We have made dental stem cell banking more accessible for consumers by offering multiple options for financing, prepayment, and family plans,” said Provia Labs CEO Howard Greenman.
“Our intent is to become true partners with the dental community in educating the public about the potential of dental stem cells and in providing a viable option to interested consumers. We realized that the best way to forge this partnership was to eliminate any extra steps for the dentist.”
Provia Labs provides authorized Store-A-Tooth dental professionals with a program to launch the service in their practices--dedicated phone support plus free patient education, practice-building tools, CE, and training for the team--all available for free via an online provider portal.
“We want to ensure that our authorized providers can help their patients make an informed decision for their families,” said Greenman.

The company is also developing a new Stem Cell Educator program designed for hygienists and other team members, recognizing their role in talking to patients about dental stem cells. In addition, for clinicians who access the course through the Store-A-Tooth website, the company offers two free CE credits for its published CE course, "Dental Stem Cells: A Guide for the Dental Professional."
Participating dental teams and their families receive professional courtesy pricing on tooth processing, as well as an optional consideration per case for in-office tooth collection.
“The most credible recommendations come from those who actually use a product or service,” explained Greenman. “We’re making it easy for dental professionals to experience and advocate the Store-A-Tooth Service.”
Provia Labs partners with dental offices to make it easy to educate and inform patients about the option to preserve their family’s dental stem cells. For those interested in the service, Provia works with the dental team to provide tooth collection and arranges for the sample to be sent overnight to the lab, where the stem cells are harvested, tested, and cryopreserved for future potential use.
The Store-A-Tooth service is available to dental offices throughout the United States and internationally.
