Benco Dental Partners with ProDrive

Benco Dental is proud to announce a new partnership with ProDrive Systems, manufacturer of revolutionary triangular bur and upgrade system. The agreement allows Benco Dental to introduce ProDrive‘s innovative handpiece and bur products to dentists across the United States.

ProDrive turbines retrofit into leading brand handpieces and lock with the ProDrive triangular shank bur to prevent slipping and enable faster, smoother cutting, superior control and improved precision. ProDrive offers a full selection of diamond and carbide burs featuring a unique bur-lengthening quality that allows the bur to be safely extended by 3mm, providing smooth and precise cuts even in difficult-to-reach areas. ProDrive also offers its own high-speed handpieces in mini and standard, with an ergonomic design and titanium sleeve to ensure optimal performance and reduced noise levels.

“ProDrive’s innovative products offer a high-performance solution to dentists who have become frustrated with the outdated friction grip design of regular handpieces”, said Paul Jackson, Benco Dental’s Vice President of Marketing. “We are excited about offering ProDrive to our customers, and expect it to be a leading product for Benco in 2010.”

“We are proud to welcome Benco Dental as one of our authorized distributors in America”, said Richard St-Pierre, CEO of ProDrive Systems. “ProDrive is experiencing rapid customer growth, and our distribution through Benco Dental will support the growing demand for ProDrive. Benco Dental is very powerful strategic partner, providing ProDrive extended market reach into the loyal Benco cutomer base.”

Benco Dental Announces Partnership with The Pankey Institute

Benco Dental and The Pankey Institute are pleased to announce a newly formed alliance to help dentists achieve their goals through continuing education. The Pankey Institute’s Essentials courses are designed to help dentists articulate their goals and dreams, develop the requisite skills and be encouraged to pursue their ambitions. The programs also provide a solid foundation for practicing comprehensive dentistry with confidence and predictability, while fueling a passion for lifelong learning.

Together, Benco Dental and The Pankey Institute will offer Benco customers the opportunity to attend Essentials 1,at a reduced tuition. In this course, dentists explore occlusal disease and determine when its management is vital to the success of the dentistry and doctor-patient relationship. They are exposed to a vision of practice that embraces comprehensive care, values the patient relationship and involves the patient in an effective co-discovery examination.

“Our objective is to encourage our customers to enlist in The Pankey Institute Essentials continuum,” says Charles Cohen, President of Benco Dental. “We have entered into this alliance because the nature of Pankey courses is to address all aspects of dental practice (behavioral, clinical and managerial) as dentists develop the highest level of comprehensive care for their patients. The Institute’s philosophy of patient-centered care is congruent with our philosophy of customer-centered service, leading to success smile after smile.”

According to Mr. Tony Trujillo, President and CEO of The Pankey Institute, “We are committed to providing our students with the best educational experience, and I also believe strongly that exposure to the Pankey philosophy of patient-centered care will be of great benefit to them personally and professionally. After attending Essentials 1, they may continue with three more Essentials courses, delving into advanced occlusal studies, creating harmonious function in even difficult occlusions with predictable esthetic results and developing mastery with complex cases involving precise sequencing and interdisciplinary coordination. Each Essentials level is worth 47 credit hours and helps participants focus on what it means to be relationship based and patient centered for practice growth and self-fulfillment.”
