A-dec First Impressions

I've tried every other dental equipment, it just fits right, and it lasted 23 years, and I'm currently still using (A-dec) in my old office, and it's the most comfortable thing I could possibly use on our patients.

One Saturday afternoon in 1979, Chanbo Sim visited his uncle's friend's dental facility. Right then and there, he knew his future was in dentistry. Today, Dr. Chanbo Sim owns two successful dental practices, located in Indiana. When he decided it was time to open his second facility, Smiles on Randolph, he knew he would continue his partnership with A-dec. After all, his equipment is still going strong, 23 years later.

Committed to being kind and doing things right, Dr. Sim plans to choose A-dec in the future. "This is only the beginning."

The program that A-dec has in place for doctors like myself, made it possible for me to get the practice of my dreams.

Dr. Emily Svetanoff of Restoration Dental Studio opened her state-of-the-art facility in Valparaiso, Indiana, in 2020. Her focus? To make sure that every patient who comes through the doors feels like part of the Restoration family. Top-notch equipment, technology, and private operatories complete with TVs and noise-cancelling headphones, help create an environment that allows patients to get comfortable immediately and relax for the duration of the appointment. Dr. Svetanoff went "all out" for her practice.

Once her A-dec Territory Manager told her about the Smart Start program for doctors, the decision was easy.

While Restoration Dental Studio helps patients create the smile of their dreams, A-dec’s Smart Start program helps dentists create the first-time practice of their dreams. And to that, Dr. Svetanoff recommends to “Go for it all the way.”

I can work comfortably, pain-free, using A-dec.

After working as an associate at other facilities, Dr. Jessie McAllister decided it was time to open her own practice—back in her hometown of Ottawa, Ontario.

After a career-ending injury and her gymnast days behind her, it was extremely important to invest in dental equipment that fit her ergonomic needs. And that meant that for McAllister Dentistry, it had to be A-dec chairs—there was no question in her mind.

We chose A-dec because we were looking for longevity.

Brothers Dr. Isaac and Dr. Jacob Day turned their hopes into reality when they joined forces to become co-owners of their practice, Day Dental. There was just one issue: Not long after Dr. Jacob came on board, they realized they were rapidly outgrowing the space.

While building out plans for the new location it became clear that A-dec was the superior and enduring equipment they wanted to continue practicing with at the new location.

I want to be practicing for 30, 40, years without back or shoulder problems. So for me, the equipment was most important.

Doctors—and brothers—Caleb Kim and Tyler Kim of AP&P Dental have been practicing together in their Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, facility since 2015. Their combined specialties of prosthodontics and periodontics, along with general dentistry, provide their patients with efficient long-term care to meet all their dental needs. 

When visualizing their office update, Dr. Caleb knew that he wanted to create a comforting, relaxing environment to help ease any anxiety that patients may have. The doctors chose A-dec chairs and equipment—not just for their patients’ comfort—but also to provide themselves with the best  ergonomic support.

I think A-dec has the whole package.

Dr. Ashley Swisher of All Smiles Dental, realized she was quickly outgrowing the limits of her 3-operatory facility.

That meant upgrading to a much larger facility, with 10 operatories and a full functioning lab, to accommodate both her staff and her growing patient list. Along with that expanded level of quality care came the need for top quality dental equipment and technology.

After touring A-dec's Oregon campus, Dr. Swisher knew she'd found the perfect equipment fit for her vision of All Smiles Dental.

It really became a place to go to—rather than a place to dread going to.

Dr. Anna Berik reimagines what a children’s dental office could look like with the opening of Bubble Dentistry. She wanted something unique and fun, that would make her pediatric dental patients go “whoa” when walking in the door. Working with A-dec, she complemented the sea creature motif with A-dec's modern, quality, and streamlined dental equipment and state-of-the-art technology to make her "destination dentistry" concept a reality.

A-dec's been with me since the beginning, and it works.

Disco or dental office? Dr. Don MacRae wasn’t interested in having just another dental office—he describes his facility, ONE Dental, as "a rock ‘n’ roll experience, hidden as a dental office". With its distinctive decor and atmosphere, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind expression of himself.

Never one to stray from bold, sleek design, he chose A-dec dental equipment to compliment his musically themed facility. "When I think of A-dec as company...I would never, ever use a different company because design and equipment, they have to mesh."

Because of A-dec, I don't have to think that much about my equipment. It works and I know it's going to work.

Dr. Quinton Miner felt so inspired by New Orleans, Louisiana, during his residency, he knew that’s where he wanted to eventually open his practice. Fifteen years later, Lakeview Endodontics became a reality.

In this specialty, building trust with patients is imperative. You see them on a case-by-case basis, so bringing comfort and ease to each appointment is a number one priority. For easy integration and ultimate reliability, Dr. Miner turned to A-dec.

Everything that I've done for my practice, my equipment, my space, is to serve my patients with the utmost quality.

Dr. Shabnam Tehrani wanted to stand out from the crowd when it came to bringing her dental practice to life. Her dream?

Looking only for state-of-the-art dental equipment, Dr. Tehrani turned to A-dec to complete the high quality, high-comfort care experience for her patients—right down to the customized color of the dental chairs.

The love that they have for their job and for their doctors. Honestly, that’s what sold me on A-dec.

After 15 years at a large DSO, Dr. Heather Jones makes the break to open her own dental practice, Epic Dental, with a little guidance from A-dec. By visiting A-dec in Oregon to test drive dental equipment and learn about the Smart Start program, she was sold. As part of Smart Start, Dr. Jones was able to maximize her initial budget and enjoy ongoing savings for the first two years of opening her practice. She found that investing in A-dec equipment was an investment in her future.

Now looking back, the only thing she wishes? That she would have taken the leap to open her own practice sooner.

I told my husband, we’re going to do this only once—and we’re going to do it right.

When Dr. Anakarina DeAngelis of DeAngelis Family Dentistry decided to open her own practice, she knew she wanted to provide the best, most inviting environment for her patients. To make that happen, she turned to A-dec.
