building blocks for success

Other companies offer warranties that expire after a few years. We offer a lifetime relationship with our customers.

We’ve been building dental equipment for schools, hospitals and government institutions

for over 40 years. Innovative. Simple. Reliable. You can count on A-dec® equipment to

withstand the rigors of daily use. But, it doesn’t end there. At A-dec, we build more than

just equipment. We build relationships. Our support doesn’t end after the sale or after the

installation. That’s just the beginning. In fact, we have customer service support dedicated

specifically for you. So, anytime you have a question, concern or even an idea, we’re just a

phone call away. This is what makes us different. It’s what makes us A-dec. And, it’s why

we’re one of the worldwide market leaders in dental education and institutions.

Who is A-dec?

InnovationSimplicity drives A-dec’s innovation process.

It’s the simple solution that results in reliable equipment. Take the A-dec control block–the heart of

each A-dec 500® delivery system. One of the industry’s most reliable air-driven components, this block

is the simplest yet. With fewer parts, stronger corrosion-resistant materials, a flow-through water

system, and quick-connect fittings, it’s designed to offer trouble-free performance for the life of

the equipment.

Focusing on the importance of infection control, we looked at ways to dramatically simplify

and improve the asepsis process. As a result, in partnership with doctors, we’ve developed the

revolutionary ICX® treatment tablets–a unique and effective way to maintain dental unit waterlines.

And, we’ve designed the A-dec 500 self-contained water bottle, which includes an integrated pickup

tube to reduce cross-contamination.

I can’t afford to have things that are

too complicated and too fancy-that

are going to be breaking down. I need

to have things that are sound, that are

going to work and going to work consis-

tently. . . It has to run perfectly. It has to

be right on and A-dec is right on for me.

–Dr. Joseph D’Angelo, LaJolla, California

The quality is built in.

In order to provide you with the most durable, most reliable dental equipment in the world,

we tightly manage our manufacturing processes. For example, the chair cylinder process

starts with the raw material and ends with the finished assembly. We manufacture our own

high-grade delivery system tubing. We have an entire department dedicated to applying

the extra-tough powder coat finish on exterior metal components. By overseeing even the

smallest details, we control the quality of each piece of equipment we manufacture. Quality

equipment designed to withstand years of continual use and cleaning.

Long-term valueQuality + durability = cost savings.

When you think about purchasing equipment, you may ask, “Can I afford A-dec equipment?” The answer, “Absolutely, yes!” Many schools

and institutions have discovered the initial cost of equipment is only a portion of the cost. Cost of ownership includes the purchase price

AND the total cost of operation, which consists of items like maintenance and training. As you compare costs over time, it becomes clear

that A-dec products present a smart solution offering quality, durability, and savings.

Anyone can build a chair, it’s really

who is there to help and service

after the sale.

– Associate Dean

A-dec, we offer our services up-front, without commitment, and free of charge. You’ll have a

Project management

The big issue for me was that A-dec

listened. We were acquiring a facility

that was very different from the usual

type of facility . . . It was unconventional,

but they listened to us and they were

prepared to work with us to develop

something that met our needs.
