How much does a Comfort Dental franchise make?
Comfort Dental is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every health & wellness brand that discloses earnings in the Health & wellness franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Comfort Dental franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Comfort Dental franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Comfort Dental franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Comfort Dental lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Comfort Dental's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose 11 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Comfort Dental itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 5 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Comfort Dental closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Comfort Dental will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Comfort Dental's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a health & wellness of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Comfort Dental's latest tables show a stable franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 145 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Comfort Dental?
Comfort Dental's franchise is offered by Comfort Dental Group, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Anyone weighing Comfort Dental is really weighing it against the other brands their money could go into. These are the closest by total initial investment (FDD Item 7), each with its own FDD-based page.
Comfort Dental franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Comfort Dental — who is the franchisor?
Comfort Dental's most recently filed FDD (2025) names Comfort Dental Group, Inc. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Comfort Dental franchise cost?
Comfort Dental's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at a range disclosed in Item 7, with an initial franchise fee of $75,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote.
How much profit does a Comfort Dental franchise make?
Comfort Dental discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Comfort Dental franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Comfort Dental disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Comfort Dental reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Comfort Dental?
Comfort Dental's most recently filed FDD (2025) discloses 11 legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Comfort Dental itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing. 5 of the disclosed proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor.
Is Comfort Dental a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Comfort Dental's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against health & wellness peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
