Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare

- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Clear Lakes Dental: 9, NexGenEsis Healthcare: 2). Different groups are not directly comparable.
