Planmeca expands distribution of CAD/CAM portfolio

Planmeca announced several new distribution partners for the expansion of its distribution agreements with the addition of the Planmeca CAD/CAM portfolio in North America. New distribution partners include Patterson Dental, Atlanta Dental Supply, Burkhart Dental Supply, Midway Dental Supply and Nashville Dental, Inc. This expansion includes the recently launched Planmeca Emerald Intraoral scanner, Planmeca PlanCAD design software, Planmeca PlanMill 40 S and Planmeca Romexis Compare Adaptive Learning software for the Education market.

 “As the demand for our chairside dentistry solutions like the - Planmeca FIT - increases, it’s vital we work with industry partners that can supply a high level of support and innovative products and service that is expected within the marketplace. With proven track records and an average of 100 years of experience in the dental industry, our new distribution partners provide sales and field level support that will exponentially expand the reach of our CAD/CAM solutions,” said Brett Hines, President of Planmeca USA.

Digital dentistry has expanded the need and created high demand. Users need both, ultra-fast intraoral scanning at an affordable price, and they need a way to easily connect, share and control their practice workflows. While some might want to scan and send to their labs; others want to offer same-day dentistry. Planmeca’s CAD/CAM solutions address both of these needs.

“Adding Planmeca’s CAD/CAM portfolio brings all the components of the Digital Work Flow together with the power and control of Romexis software” says Tom Richardson, President of Atlanta Dental Supply. “We are now able to help our clients evaluate and add each component of the work flow at a time that’s best for their practice while providing the full support and personal care they need.”
