The 50-Employee Cliff

The ACA threshold that's quietly reshaping dental lab growth — and how the fastest-scaling labs are growing revenue 30%+ without adding headcount.

What you’ll get:

  • The real cost of crossing 50 employees — $605K–$874K for just 7 additional hires
  • The 3 strategic paths labs face at the threshold — and which one the data clearly favors
  • A workflow automation map showing which tasks can be displaced, how many FTEs they represent, and the annual savings
  • A 5-year model revealing the $2.1M margin gap between hiring-first and automation-first labs
