JERICHO, N.Y.—Darby Dental Supply, one of the nation’s largest dental distributors, has completed the acquisition of the SmartPractice Dental Supply Division.  

The acquisition was first announced in February and Darby has been engaged in strategic planning to seamlessly integrate employees, customers and operations. The transition planning has been largely focused on ensuring an easy transition for SmartPractice customers. SmartPractice customers will now have access to the added benefits of Darby’s distribution network, extended product lines, capital equipment, technology services and equipment service. 

With this acquisition, Darby doubles its West Coast footprint and has expanded those operations to include customer service, purchasing and accounting. Darby recently completed an expansion and build-out of its Chandler, Arizona, office to accommodate the added functions. The SmartPractice dental sales and management teams will join Darby’s Arizona team as well to provide convenient access and hours for customers across the country. Darby also recently completed an expansion and upgrade to its Reno and Memphis distribution centers.

“With this acquisition we are gaining strong talent and complementary core competencies that will help us to ensure that our customers have access to continually-expanding products, services and the expertise upon which they have relied for 70 years,” said Michael Ashkin, chairman, Darby Group Companies. “For three generations, and looking to the fourth, the Ashkin family has been focused on providing our customers with outstanding value, an exceptional customer experience, and innovative technological solutions. We are excited to welcome SmartPractice customers and employees as an important part of our future.”
