Two business lines. One entity.
Mexico operates the largest dental services market in Latin America at $8–10B. Layered on top: the existing $1.5–2B/year US-patient cross-border flow. KingDental Mexico organizes both — KDM-CB across the border, KDM-DP across the country. We don't create demand. We organize demand that already exists.
Mexico is the largest dental services market in LATAM and the world's most established under-organized dental tourism destination. The opportunity isn't to invent demand — it's to build the platform layer that organizes the demand the market already has.

KDM-CB & KDM-DP. Under one entity.
Both lines share KingDental brand, technology, KardOne AI infrastructure, parent capital structure, and senior leadership. They operate with distinct go-to-market teams, separate KPIs, and independent P&L — enabling sum-of-parts valuation while protecting strategic integration.

Five cities. One patient flow.
The US-Mexico dental tourism flow has tripled since 2020. Average US implant: $4,500. Equivalent procedure in Mexico: $900. No platform organizes this flow at scale. The five border cities below are KDM-CB's launch footprint — sequenced quarterly, each with a named patient catchment and operational profile.

1.2–1.5M Americans already cross the border for dental care every year. $1.5–2B in spend already happens. MOE doesn't create demand — we organize demand that already exists. Competing ventures that try to manufacture cross-border interest through marketing spend are structurally disadvantaged.
02
Platform-layer position
Mexican dental has been served by either DSO consolidators (acquiring owned clinics) or aggregators (driving traffic without operational integration). The platform-layer approach — providing tiered infrastructure services to independent clinics while remaining clinic-agnostic — has not been executed at scale in Mexico.
03
Vietnam-validated playbook
KingDental Vietnam Operating Entity has already validated the model in an analogous market. MOE applies the validated playbook to the larger Mexican market with the added cross-border layer. The MOE-to-VOE 1.6× valuation ratio reflects that compounding.

One-point-two million Americans already cross the border for their teeth. Eighty percent of Mexican clinics still run on paper. We don't need to convince anyone — we need to build the infrastructure.
