With Dental Equipment Sourcing™ (DES), you have your own internal resource with industry insider knowledge. Working with DES ensures you identify and acquire the best solution for all your equipment needs, in both functionality and affordability. You can add an equipment expert to your team for far less than you would pay an employee, and you’ll always have an upper hand when you’re in the market for new equipment for your practice.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
With 30 years of experience in the field of dental equipment, DES partners with dentists to help them make informed decisions when buying new equipment. We help out clients avoid working with sales reps and distributors who may not have their best interest in mind. We consult with dental professionals to pin down exactly what their equipment needs are and to collect all possible sourcing solutions for the best price on their behalf. Through DES, our clients are more likely to be offered competitive pricing and more precise equipment solutions. We guide our clients every step of the way so they may make their own informed, economical choices.
Unfortunately, equipment reps and distributors work for commission and are incentivized to identify the most profitable solution THEY can offer you. They are not going to discuss options or manufacturers they cannot sell you, and they will most likely only share the solutions which make them the highest commission. They see you as a consumer, not a business partner or long-term investment. Doing business this way ultimately leads to more money out of your pocket. With DES, you can source your equipment the way dental schools, large dental service organizations, and the most successful practices do business.
Our DES service is centered around, but not limited to, the following process:
Consult with you to identify your specific equipment needs
Educate you on all the potential equipment solutions (and coordinate manufacturer demonstrations as needed)
Identify the ideal equipment solution to include any equipment customization options
Prepare the RFQ (Request for Quote) according to your precise selections
Locate all the possible sourcing options and submit the RFQ to each one
Collect responses, review them for accuracy, and compile these results for your review
Review the responses with you to insure clarity in your decision making
The most successful practices, DSOs, and dental schools all use a Request For Quote (RFQ) process when purchasing new equipment. An RFQ is essentially a detailed outline of your needs that is given to multiple manufacturers so that they can propose their specific equipment solutions. This way, equipment manufacturers are aware that they're not your only option, and you are offered more competitive pricing as a result. Quotes generated from RFQs are also more likely to be detailed and accurate, leading to more informed decision making on your part.
We offer our DES service to practices of all types for $200/month, billed annually. We will become your right-hand man on any equipment needs, anytime. This essentially adds an invaluable member to your team with 30+ years of experience for only a $2,400 salary. And you don't even have to offer benefits.
