Benco Dental, the nation’s largest independent distributor of oral healthcare technology and supplies, and A-dec, a global leader in dental solutions, have entered into a new distribution agreement leveraging the decades-long ingenuity of both companies. Beginning February 3, 2025, A-dec’s full product line will be available to Benco Dental customers across the U.S.
Benco Dental will also create A-dec experiences in its three CenterPoint showrooms, which are a key differentiator setting the company apart from competitors. Widely considered dentistry’s most comprehensive and advanced technology and equipment galleries, CenterPoint showrooms will allow doctors and their teams to see, touch, and test-drive A-dec equipment in real clinical settings, making it easier to envision the perfect configuration for their specific practice sizes and workflows.
“We have been leading the way in creating immersive and informative test drives to elevate our customers’ experiences with cutting-edge equipment since opening our first CenterPoint location in 2010,” said Sue Evans, Benco Dental’s vice president of equipment merchandising. “There’s no better place to go hands-on with dentistry’s legendary name in smart ergonomics and renowned reliability, and fully appreciate A-dec’s storied quality, remarkable attention to detail, and proven ownership advantages.”
In addition, because all three of Benco Dental’s CenterPoint showrooms include onsite interior design studios staffed by an award-winning team, it’s easy and convenient to plan and optimize every A-dec installation in as little as one visit, all under one roof. Benco Dental’s CenterPoint showrooms are conveniently located in Southern California near Los Angeles, North-Central Texas in suburban Dallas, and in Pennsylvania between New York City and Philadelphia.
“At Benco Dental, we have the greatest admiration for A-dec and share their commitment to innovation and excellence. We can’t wait to take on the challenge of delivering the industry’s most engaging and satisfying A-dec sales and service experience,” said Katy Cohen, Benco Dental’s chief revenue officer. “Partnering with A-dec during an era when dental technology is advancing faster than ever before makes this an especially exciting collaboration. We look forward to leveraging our strengths together to be the partner customers deserve for building their dreams.”
Tim Long, vice president of sales and marketing for A-dec, said, “A-dec is so excited to expand our partnership with Benco Dental. As two family-owned businesses with a shared vision of customer experience and practice success, we are confident that we will make a positive impact on our valued customers.”
Benco Dental has over 340 sales representatives, 71 dedicated equipment specialists, plus a support team that includes 320 full-time installation and maintenance technicians strategically deployed throughout the U.S. for same-day service and repair in many cases. Benco Dental technicians are experienced and have been servicing A-dec equipment products for over 40 years.
Benco Dental interior designs were most recently recognized in the Best New Build category of the American Dental Association’s Design Innovation Awards for 2023 and 2024. The company was the first among distributors to offer space planning, starting in 1978. Its groundbreaking design concepts include the Office Nucleus, which reimagines the sterilization/resupply area for the age of automation to save users tens of thousands of dollars annually. Benco Dental’s long history of industry firsts includes painless electronic ordering, automated supply management, and OneVisit open-architecture CAD/CAM, which has since evolved into the company’s expansive digital dentistry offering.
