Amendment No. 2 to Offering Statement on Form
1-A
Filed May 15, 2025
File No. 024-12428
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to
the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in the letter dated June 10, 2025 regarding
Amendment No. 2 to the Offering Statement of Form 1-A of Standard Dental Labs Inc. (the "Company"). Below are our responses
to each of the comments raised by the Commission. In relation to the Company's responses, the Company has filed an Amendment No.
3 to the Offering Statement on Form 1-A ("Amendment No. 3").
Amendment No. 2 to Offering
Statement on Form 1-A filed May 15, 2025
Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm, page 44

SEC Comment No. 2
2. In regard to the negative advance payable – related party of $7,691, which
your disclosures on page 41 indicate are with respect to an excess of expenses paid by you that were incurred by Mr. Brooks, please address
the following:
· Please further expand your disclosures to address why your President would have
been reimbursed amounts in excess of expenses incurred on behalf of the company as well as the terms associated with the repayment.
· Please address what consideration was given to reflecting this as a receivable
from a related party instead of as a liability.
· Please confirm that all expenses incurred by your President on the company's behalf
have been reflected in your financial statements. Refer to SAB Topic 1:B.1.
Company Response
2. The Company notes the following:
a. The negative advance payable of $7,691 resulted from timing differences between
Company-incurred obligations paid for by Mr. Brooks and Mr. Brooks withdrawing funds from Company accounts to pay for such Company-incurred
expenses. At certain times, expenses were prepaid by the Company through a withdraw by Mr. Brooks who then made the payment on behalf of
the Company but such payment had not yet been substantiated by matching receipts at the time the books were closed for the financial period.
Upon review, because the Company owes Mr. Brooks principal and interest on his outstanding convertible promissory note, the Company has
determined to reconcile the balance of the note each year, considering (i) interest accrued on the outstanding principal, (ii) reimbursable
business expenses paid personally by Mr. Brooks, (iii) withdrawals made by Mr. Brooks, and (iv) any transfers from Mr. Brooks' balance.
Withdrawals and transfers reduce the amount owed under the note. Any excess or shortfall arising from timing differences among accrued
interest, expenses, withdrawals, and transfers is reflected as a related party payable or receivable. Based on this reconciliation, the
Company has revised its financial statements and updated disclosures in Note 6 in Amendment No. 3 to reflect that as of December 31, 2024,
the Company has recorded an advance payable to Mr. Brooks of $0 (2023: $32,394).
b. We considered presenting the amount in the prior financial statements as a related
party receivable; however, due to the timing of the identification and nature of the underlying transactions, we concluded it was more
conservative to reflect it as a liability. We have updated our disclosures in Amendment No. 3 to reflect an advance payable.
c. We confirm that all expenses incurred by our President on behalf of the Company
have been recorded in the financial statements, in accordance with SAB Topic 1:B:1.

SEC Comment No. 3
3. There appears to be a calculation error in your determination of net loss per common
share for 2022. Specifically, the net loss per common share does not appear to equal the net loss divided by the weighted average common
shares outstanding. Please advise or revise as necessary.
Company Response
3. The Company notes the clerical error made in the filing of financial statements
in Amendment No. 2 and notes that the correct amount for the 2022 net loss per common share was contained in the footnotes to the financial
statements. The Company has corrected the clerical error in the financial statements filed with Amendment No. 3.

SEC Comment
No. 4
4. If you continue to include statements of operations and stockholders' equity
for 2022, please tell us how you considered the recapitalization in calculating the weighted average common shares outstanding for 2022.
Specifically, it appears the periods prior to the reverse recapitalization should reflect Prime Dental only and the "shares issued
under the acquisition agreement" line item on the statement of stockholders' equity should reflect the number of shares retained
by Standard Dental, with amounts adjusted for the subsequent stock split. For purposes of computing EPS, the number of shares outstanding
for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the acquisition should be the number of shares issued by Standard
Dental to Prime Dental. For the period from the date of the acquisition to the end of the fiscal year, the number of shares to be used
in the calculation of EPS should be the actual number of shares of the combined entity outstanding in that period. The weighted average
number of shares to be used in computing EPS would be calculated on the basis of the numbers determined for the two periods as described.

Response
4. The Company has revised the financial statements in Amendment No. 3 and has removed
this period.
Note 8.
Services Agreement with Contracted Operator, page 58
SEC Comment No. 5
5. We
note your response to comment 15. Please address the following:
· We note that the contracted operator is responsible for furnishing labor, materials,
supplies, labor and/or goods required to manufacture dental prosthetics and orthodontics. Based on the description of the services provided
in your disclosures on page 58 as well as the subcontract agreements filed as exhibits, it appears that all amounts paid under the subcontract
agreement are costs incurred directly related to the manufacturing of dental prosthetics. In this regard, it is not clear how you determined
that a portion of the amounts paid should be excluded from cost of sales as well as how you came up with the amount to exclude. Please
advise
· Please tell us the specific amounts reflected in general and administrative expenses
for each period presented.
· As previously requested, please expand your disclosures in MD&A related to
the contracted operator agreement to discuss whether this agreement has been renewed and the impact of not being able to do so if it has
not been renewed. Specifically we note that the agreement was entered into on August 31, 2022 and has an initial term of up to two years.
This would indicate that the agreement may terminate on August 31, 2024. We remind you that Instruction 1 to Item 9A of the Form 1-A states
that your discussion and analysis shall focus specifically on material events and uncertainties known to management that would cause reported
financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or of future financial condition. This would include
descriptions and amounts of matters that have had an impact on reported operations that are not expected to have an impact upon future
operations.

Company Response
5. The Company notes the staff's comments and responds as follows:
(a) The Company records cost of sales based on the direct materials and labor required
to produce finished dental prosthetics. Since inception, the Company has maintained a standardized product pricing list, which includes
embedded labor and material cost assumptions. Payments made to the subcontracted operator are disaggregated between cost of goods sold
and sales and marketing expenses based on the underlying services rendered.
(b) The following table, which has been added to Note 8 of the financial statements
presented in Amendment No. 3, presents a breakdown of revenue, cost of goods sold, and selling and marketing expenses (included within
general and administrative expenses) for each year:
2024

(c) The Company has revised its disclosure on pages 2, 26, 31 and 33 of Amendment
No. 3 and Note 8 to the financial statements filed with Amendment No. 3 to expand on its disclosure regarding the services agreement.
The Company notes that the services agreement was terminated by mutual consent of the parties on July 1, 2025. The Company is now managing
its own lab facility and is leasing the building and property. Manufacturing of dental prosthetics is now performed by Company technicians
and client relationships are managed directly by Standard Dental Labs.
