Dentsply Sirona Expands and Extends Relationship with Pacific Dental Services, LLC
June 16 2017 - 7:00AM
DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona”) (NASDAQ:XRAY), The
Dental Solutions Company™, today announced that the Company has
again extended and expanded its relationship with Pacific Dental
Services, LLC (PDS).
The new, larger five year agreement between
Dentsply Sirona and PDS will provide PDS and the more than 1,600
dentists they support with access to new technologies, and unique
marketing, sponsorship, and training opportunities, in addition to
the entire Dentsply Sirona consumables offering. In 2012 the two
companies set an industry record that resulted in CEREC® CAD/CAM
technology being integrated into every PDS-supported practice. The
latest agreement continues providing PDS-supported practices with
leading Dentsply Sirona equipment and technology such as CEREC and
the entire consumables portfolio.
PDS supports over 580 dental practices in
seventeen states. As a group, PDS-supported offices have
implemented Dentsply Sirona’s CEREC technology system and are the
world’s largest network of CEREC users having completed over 1.4
million CEREC restorations to date. Given the significant number of
PDS-supported owner-dentists who have chosen to adopt these
technologies for their dental practices to date, combined with the
anticipated growth in the number of PDS-supported offices, the
parties anticipate that the number of PDS-supported offices
utilizing Dentsply Sirona technologies could exceed 800 during the
life of the agreement.
Jeffrey T. Slovin, Chief Executive Officer of
Dentsply Sirona commented: “We are pleased to announce the
extension and expansion of our relationship with Pacific Dental
Services with this significant agreement. By partnering with PDS’
supported owner dentists we can accelerate the adoption of our
innovative end-to-end integrated solutions and improve patient
care. For years, PDS’ supported owner dentists have been at
the forefront of embracing Dentsply Sirona technology as a core
differentiator and growth enabler. We are excited to continue
and expand this valuable partnership for years to come.”
Stephen Thorne, IV, Founder, President and Chief Executive
Officer of PDS explained, “Dentsply Sirona continues to be a
valuable strategic partner for PDS and those practitioners we
support. This renewed long-term agreement highlights our faith in
them, their technology, and the benefit they offer as we continue
to lead the field in helping dentists bring modern dentistry to
their patients - increasing access, and improving
quality.“
