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.”
