Benco Dental
Tell us a little about your organization.
Benco Dental is the nation's largest family/privately-owned full-service distributor of dental supplies (instruments, ceramics, composites, etc.), equipment (chairs, cabinetry, etc.), and technology (digital imaging, CAD/CAM, etc.). We’re headquartered at our state-of-the-art Silver LEED Certified facility in Pittston. We are, first and foremost, an innovation company—from pioneering dental e-commerce, to bringing cutting-edge products to market that other distributors won't tackle, to pushing manufacturers to innovate. We drive dentistry forward through our innovative solutions and caring family culture.
How many locations and employees does Benco have?
We have just under 1,500 associates that serve our customers in 46 states along with 5 distribution centers. Benco has 3 state-of-the-art showrooms. Benco’s CenterPoint Home Office Showroom is one-of-a-kind. As the largest dental showroom in the United States, it has 25 working operatories. The sample operatories are equipped with state-of-the-art dental equipment and a recently added OneVisit Suite for both customers and associates to view digital dentistry at its peak. The showroom has become so popular with customers that we opened a “CenterPoint West” dental showroom in Costa Mesa, California in 2012 and a third CenterPoint Showroom in Dallas, Texas in 2015.
