Better prices start with
a better question.

Arora Dental already had suppliers it trusted. What it needed was a clearer view of the prices—and the confidence to ask for a better deal.

THE MOMENT THAT MADE IT CLICK

A routine order. A worthwhile conversation.

When Saj, DSP’s founder and an Arora Dental practice owner, added toothpaste and IV administration tubing to his Sinclair order, PriceCheck gave him a reason to pause. The prices were worth discussing before he checked out.

With 100 boxes of Crest Sparkle toothpaste in the cart, a better unit price made a meaningful difference: $200 saved across the boxes. His rep also agreed to reduce the tubing from $65 to $60. The result was $205 saved on that order.

“I asked my rep for better pricing—and saved $205 on two products.”Saj · DSP founder and Arora Dental practice owner

He didn’t need to find a new supplier. He needed a specific price to ask for, the quantity he was ordering and a straightforward conversation with his rep.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE PURCHASE HISTORY

Five Maxill products.
$191 less on the invoice.

The same pattern is worth looking for across everyday supplies. Arora Dental’s September 2 Maxill invoice shows five products priced below the account prices DSP recorded in the preceding week.

Recorded online prices$754.60
Invoice product subtotal$563.60
Difference on five products$191.00

Gowns, sterilization pouches and topical gel are ordinary purchases. Together, their price differences added up to $191. The invoice confirms what the practice paid; the earlier account prices provide the comparison. Those records alone don’t establish why the prices changed.
