Benco Dental and Transitions Group, both privately held, today announced their agreement to enter into a wide-ranging strategic partnership that will bring together the strengths of both companies in dental practice management consulting. Through this agreement, Benco Dental and Transitions Group will actively collaborate to develop products and services for the increasingly complex needs of the modern dental practice. Benco Dental’s practice management consulting group will now be known as Transitions and will be headquartered at Transitions Group’s Burlington, Ontario offices. U.S.-based consultants will continue to provide services through Benco Dental’s 43 regional offices.
Benco Dental’s practice development consulting team formerly operated under the Insite trade name. That name will continue on as the name for Benco Dental’s dental office design division.
Charles Cohen, president of Benco Dental, said, “We expect this joint venture to be highly beneficial to all of our customers. By combining the knowledge base of our practice development consultants with that of Transitions, we can better respond to the challenges facing today’s constantly evolving dental practice.”
Lisa Philp, president of Transitions Group, said, “Benco Dental has been a leader in practice management consulting in the Unites States, so naturally we’re excited to work together as we strive to become North America’s leading dental consulting and education firm. We see a great deal of potential.”
Both companies have pledged additional resources during the initial phases of the unification.
