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. 1
1. Please revise your Form 1-A to provide disclosures regarding your change in accountants
similar to those referenced in Item 4 of the Form 1-U. Also, please provide a letter regarding the change in certifying accountant as
an exhibit to the Form 1-A. Refer to Item 17(9) of Part III of the Form 1-A.
Company Response
1. The Company has added the required disclosure under the heading "Change in
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" in Amendment No. 3 and filed the letter from the Company's former independent
registered public accounting firm as Exhibit 9.1 to Amendment No. 3.

Balance Sheets, page 46
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.
Statements of Operations, page

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.
Company
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.

SEC Comment No. 14
14. In your letter dated August 21, 2023, you stated you were in the process of revising
your financial statement presentation such that Prime Dental Lab LLC is the predecessor. In response to prior comment 26, you state you
disagree with the prior determination that Prime Dental is a predecessor entity as defined in Rule 405 because you did not acquire or assume
the operations of Prime Dental, rather you acquired certain assets that were integrated into your own corporate structure. The definition
of predecessor in Rule 405 involves "the major portion of the business and assets" acquired and is very broad. Please provide
us with a detailed analysis of how you now determined Prime Dental is not a predecessor entity. We note your disclosure on page F-7 that
you acquired "all equipment, customer relationships, and associated revenue" of Prime Dental, and in your response to comment
10 in your letter dated July 12, 2023, you stated that you considered the guidance of Rule 405 of Regulation C and that you acquired substantially
all the operating assets of Prime Dental. We also note you immediately commenced revenue generating operations effective September 1,
2022, upon acquisition of Prime Dental. Please describe the nature of your operations before you succeeded to the business of Prime Dental
and how you considered it in your analysis.

service your acquired customer base. In this regard, please address the following:

presented. Please also explain your basis for excluding amounts from cost of sales;

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

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. In this regard, please expand your disclosures in MD&A related to this
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; and
•We note that you have determined that you are the principal and therefore record
revenue on a gross basis. Please provide us with your analysis of the principal versus
agent considerations you made in arriving at this determination pursuant to ASC 606-
10-55-36 through 55-40.

1. Please revise the total proceeds to company column in your table to ensure the

elsewhere in your offering circular, such as in the Use of Proceeds on page 12.

date of qualification.
Response: We have updated our

this unclear disclosure.
• Revise the penultimate paragraph to clarify that you are responsible for all

Offering Circular Summary
Our Company, page 1
4. The disclosure in the summary should provide a balanced presentation of your
business, including a brief overview of the key aspects of the offering. Please revise your summary as follows:
• Please revise to clarify the current business activities of each Standard Dental
Labs Inc. and Prime Dental Lab LLC, and to be consistent throughout the document. For example, if true, clarify whether you subcontract
all of the Standard Dental Labs work to Prime Dental Lab LLC, as you disclosed in previous filings. Here, we note on page 24 that “Standard
Dental Labs produces several kinds of dental prosthetics” and on page 25 that “Prime Dental Lab produces roughly 500 dental
prosthetics each month.” We also note your disclosure on page 28 that Standard Dental Labs is in the business of acquiring privately
owned dental lab operations. Please clarify whether you engage in the same business activities under each tradename.
• Please revise your discussion of your current business activities to include
a brief description of your current dental lab operations, including the products and services you offer.
• Please revise the disclosure of your activities searching for lab operations
to acquire to provide additional detail regarding how you identify the regional markets and smaller lab operations you target businesses
and to discuss the current status of your expansion activities.
• Clarify what role your sole officer and employee has in the search and development
operations as compared to day-to-day supervision of current business operations. Revise the risk factors to address the risks associated
with having one executive officer in multiple roles.
Finally, when revising your summary,
balance the disclosure by including disclosure regarding your limited operating history in your current business segment and your history
of net losses.

as requested.

5. Please revise the subheading of this risk factor to ensure it adequately captures
the risk associated with your acquisition strategy set forth underneath it. Refer to Item 105(a) of Regulation S-K.
Response: We have updated our Registration Statement
as requested.
Risks Related to a Purchase of the
Offered Shares
We may seek additional capital that
may result in stockholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock, page 8
6. We note your disclosure on page 60 that you have entered into a purchase agreement
with World Amber Corp. pursuant to which you have the right to direct World Amber Corp. to purchase up to $2,500,000 shares of your common
stock. Please revise this risk factor to also address the potential dilutionary impact to investors from this equity line with World Amber.
Also revise to highlight this agreement in the Summary and Summary Risk Factors with a cross-reference to more detailed disclosure.
Response:
The Equity Line Agreement with World Amber Corp. was terminated and deemed void ab initio; therefore, we do not believe this
additional language is necessary. We have updated the Registration Statement to consistently reflect the void status of this agreement.

Use of Proceeds, page 12
7. In your top table of estimated proceeds, your net proceeds amounts do not appear
to be calculated appropriately. Specifically, the gross proceeds less offering expenses do not appear to equal the net proceeds amounts
disclosed. Please revise as necessary.
Response: We have updated our Registration Statement
as requested.
8. The second table should show the different purposes for which the net proceeds
from the offering will be used as well as the corresponding amount for each purpose pursuant to Item 504 of Regulation S-K. In this regard,
it is not clear why you are adding the cash value of the amount of principal and interest attributable to the conversion of the Convertible
Notes as it does not appear that the net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay this debt. Please revise your disclosures as
necessary. Please also ensure that the amounts are calculated appropriately. For example, we would expect the 25% column to reflect the
application of total gross proceeds of $2 million less $32,500 of offering expenses, which results in net proceeds of $1,967,500.
Response: We have updated our Registration Statement
as requested.
Plan of Distribution, page 16
9. We note that you “may issue Offered Shares in this offering for non-cash
consideration, including, without limitation, promissory notes, services and/or other consideration without notice to subscribers in this
offering.” Please revise to disclose the all forms of non-cash consideration you intend to offer and their value. Refer to the Note
to Rule 251(a)(1) of Regulation A. Please also substantially revise your offering document, including the Cover Page, Summary and Use
of Proceeds sections, which all assume the offering will be made for cash only, to discuss the non-cash consideration in more detail and
to address how issuing some or all shares for non-cash consideration would impact your offering. Please also revise your risk factors
to address the potential consequences to the company if a substantial amount of shares is sold for non-cash consideration.
Response: We have updated our Registration Statement
as requested.
Selling Stockholder, page 19
10. Please revise your disclosure here to indicate the nature of Mr. Kim’s relationship
with the company. Refer to Item 507 of Regulation S-K.
Response: After further consideration, we have decided to remove selling shareholders from this filing. We have updated the Registration
Statement accordingly.
Overview of Business over the Last
Five Years, page 23
11. We note that you entered into an asset purchase agreement with Prime Dental on
August 15, 2022 pursuant to which you paid $700,000 in cash and stock consideration. We note that a final payment of cash consideration
will be due following the receipt of proceeds from the financing associated with this offering. We also note that the share consideration
is subject to a lock-up agreement pursuant to which 12.5% of the total Consideration Shares will be released each quarter provided certain
minimum quarterly targets are achieved. Please revise to ensure all material terms of the asset purchase agreement, lock- up agreement
and amendments thereto are disclosed, including any termination provisions and the minimum quarterly revenue targets that must be achieved.
Please also file the agreements and any amendments thereto as exhibits to this offering circular. Refer to Item 17.6 of Form 1-A.

material terms are included.

12. We note your disclosure that the final payment of $70,000 due to Prime Dental
Lab, LLC “is contingent upon the company being successful in achieving a registered financing such as this application.” Please
clarify whether this exempt offering on Form 1-A pursuant to Regulation A constitutes a “registered financing” such that it
would trigger final payment to Prime Dental Lab, LLC. Please revise your disclosure accordingly.
Response: We have updated our Registration Statement
as required.
Our Current Business, page 25
13. Please revise this section to describe both your business of discovering and
acquiring dental labs and your operating business, including your agreements with Mr. Kim as a subcontractor, as provided in your previous
filing, or advise why that information is no longer applicable.
Response: While we plan to pursue the acquisition of additional dental labs as part of our growth strategy, acquisitions in and
of themselves are not our business. Rather, our business is that of an operating dental lab. We have updated our Registration Statement
to better reflect these facts. All agreements have been included in the filing as exhibits.
14. We note your disclosure that you have “more than 50 dental clinics as
clients.” Please discuss what types of commercial arrangements you have in place with these clients and whether your business is
dependent on one or a few of these customers. Refer to Item 601(h)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-K.
Response: As per industry standard, we do not
have any commercial agreements with existing customers or suppliers. We have updated our Registration Statement to so state.
15. We note your disclosure that “Prime Dental Lab products roughly 500 dental
prosthetics each month.” Please revise in an appropriate place in the business section to address the distribution methods of your
products. Refer to Item 601(h)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Response: We use standard carriers (UPS, FedEx,
etc.) for delivery of prosthetics. Similarly to our response to Comment 14, we do not have commercial agreements with any of these carriers.
We have updated our Registration Statement to so state.
Products and Services, page 26
16. We note that your dental labs “supply dentists and dental clinics with
dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, and implants.” Please revise your disclosure to address the sources and availability
of raw materials for your products and the names of your principal suppliers. Refer to item 601(h)(4)(v).
Response: Raw materials for our products are
readily available from multiple sources. As such, we source our materials from multiple sources such that we do not consider the Company
as having any principal suppliers. We have updated the Registration Statement to so state.
4
17. We note your disclosure that “3D printing and modelling technology has
become more mainstream” and that “going forward [you] plan to purchase the latest and most advanced equipment available in
the sector.” Please revise your risk factors to address any material risks to your business strategy related to your ability to
successfully purchase and integrate into your operations more advanced equipment and technology such as 3D printing and modelling technology.
Response:
We have updated our Registration Statement as requested.
Employees, page 29
18. Please revise to clarify if the company contracts with the employees working
in the dental labs, or if they have contracts with another entity controlled by Mr. Kim, or some other facts apply. In addition, please
revise to clarify for what aspects of your business operations you use sub-contractors and consultants, and whether you have contracts
with those individuals.
Response:
We have updated our Registration Statement as requested.
Significant Acquisitions, page 29
19. We note that as part of your August 2022 acquisition of Prime Dental Labs,
you purchased certain “rights, trademarks, intellectual property and intangible assets of the seller.” Please expand your disclosure
in the Business section to include a discussion of these items acquired as well as any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions,
royalty agreements or labor contracts you may have, including duration. Please refer to 101(h)(4)(vii) of Regulation S-K.
Response:
We have updated our Registration Statement as requested.
20. We note you have entered into a subcontractor agreement with Mr. John Kim on
August 31, 2022, which was amended April 30, 2023, and that your business currently depends on Mr. Kim’s ongoing labor, quality control,
and delivery services and management oversight. Please file this agreement as an exhibit to your offering circular. Refer to Item 17.6
of Form 1-A.
Response:
We have filed the agreement as an exhibit as requested.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis,
page 30
21. Please revise your discussion of your results of operations to provide a comparative
discussion of material changes between periods and provide the specific reasons and factors contributing to these material changes. Your
discussion of revenues should also include a narrative discussion of the extent to which such changes are attributable to changes in prices
or to changes in the volume or amount of products or services being sold or to the introduction of new products or services. See Item
303 of Regulation S-K.
Response:
We have updated the Registration Statement as requested.

22. Please revise this section to disclose your equity line arrangement with World
Amber Corp., including all material terms such as termination provisions and events of default. Please also file the purchase agreement
and related registration rights agreement as exhibits to the offering circular, or, in the alternative, tell us why they are not required
to be filed. Refer to Item 17.6 of Form 1-A.
Response:
The Equity Line Agreement with World Amber Corp. was terminated and deemed void ab initio; therefore, we do not believe the
Equity Line Agreement should be filed as an exhibit.
Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters
and Control Persons, page 36
23. We note that Ms. Ambrosio has served as a Director since April 20, 2023. Please
expand your disclosure here to briefly discuss the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion

Offering Circular Summary
Our Company, page 1
4.The disclosure in the summary should provide a balanced presentation of your business,
including a brief overview of the key aspects of the offering. Please revise your summary
as follows:
•Please revise to clarify the current business activities of each Standard Dental Labs
Inc. and Prime Dental Lab LLC, and to be consistent throughout the document. For
example, if true, clarify whether you subcontract all of the Standard Dental Labs
work to Prime Dental Lab LLC, as you disclosed in previous filings. Here, we note
on page 24 that "Standard Dental Labs produces several kinds of dental prosthetics"
and on page 25 that "Prime Dental Lab produces roughly 500 dental prosthetics each
month." We also note your disclosure on page 28 that Standard Dental Labs is in the
business of acquiring privately owned dental lab operations. Please clarify whether
you engage in the same business activities under each tradename.
•Please revise your discussion of your current business activities to include a brief
description of your current dental lab operations, including the products and services
you offer.
•Please revise the disclosure of your activities searching for lab operations to acquire
to provide additional detail regarding how you identify the regional markets and
smaller lab operations you target businesses and to discuss the current status of your
expansion activities.
•Clarify what role your sole officer and employee has in the search and development
operations as compared to day-to-day supervision of current business
operations. Revise the risk factors to address the risks associated with having one
executive officer in multiple roles.
Finally, when revising your summary, balance the disclosure by including disclosure
regarding your limited operating history in your current business segment and your history
of net losses.

Risks Related to Our Company
Acquiring additional dental labs is a key aspect of our business and growth strategy, page 4
5.Please revise the subheading of this risk factor to ensure it adequately captures the
risk associated with your acquisition strategy set forth underneath it. Refer to Item 105(a)
of Regulation S-K.
Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares
We may seek additional capital that may result in stockholder dilution or that may have rights
senior to those of our common stock, page 8
6.We note your disclosure on page 60 that you have entered into a purchase agreement with
World Amber Corp. pursuant to which you have the right to direct World Amber Corp. to
purchase up to $2,500,000 shares of your common stock. Please revise this risk factor to
also address the potential dilutionary impact to investors from this equity line with World
Amber. Also revise to highlight this agreement in the Summary and Summary Risk
Factors with a cross-reference to more detailed disclosure.
Use of Proceeds, page 12
7.In your top table of estimated proceeds, your net proceeds amounts do not appear to be
calculated appropriately. Specifically the gross proceeds less offering expenses do not
appear to equal the net proceeds amounts disclosed. Please revise as necessary.
8.The second table should show the different purposes for which the net proceeds from the
offering will be used as well as the corresponding amount for each purpose pursuant to
Item 504 of Regulation S-K. In this regard, it is not clear why you are adding the cash
value of the amount of principal and interest attributable to the conversion of the
Convertible Notes as it does not appear that the net proceeds from the offering will be
used to repay this debt. Please revise your disclosures as necessary. Please also ensure
that the amounts are calculated appropriately. For example, we would expect the 25%
column to reflect the application of total gross proceeds of $2 million less $32,500 of
offering expenses, which results in net proceeds of $1,967,500.
Plan of Distribution, page 16
9.We note that you “may issue Offered Shares in this offering for non-cash consideration,

non-cash consideration you intend to offer and their value. Refer to the Note to Rule
251(a)(1) of Regulation A. Please also substantially revise your offering document,
including the Cover Page, Summary and Use of Proceeds sections, which all assume the
offering will be made for cash only, to discuss the non-cash consideration in more detail
