Benco Dental

[1] Benco Dental has been privately owned and operated since 1930,[2] when first-generation owner, Benjamin Cohen, moved to Northeast Pennsylvania after six years of traveling from train station to train station, selling dental supplies.

The new facility also houses the company's first CenterPoint design and equipment showroom, the largest dental equipment showroom in North America, featuring 27 fully functional operatories, a complete digital dentistry suite featuring dozens of scanners and 3D printers, 13 operational digital imaging panoramic X-rays including 2D and 3D units, 4 sterilization centers, office design & lab concept suites and a summit training center that will host continuing education courses.

Benco subsequently opened two additional CenterPoint design and equipment showrooms in Costa Mesa, California, and Flower Mound, Texas.

[5] Additionally Benco Dental's footprint includes four distribution centers: Fort Wayne, Indiana, Jacksonville, Florida, Reno, Nevada, and Dallas, Texas, over 400 sales territory representatives and 300 service technicians.

[citation needed] In February 2018, the Federal Trade Commission accused Benco Dental, Patterson Companies, and Henry Schein, the three largest American full-service distributors of dental supplies, of violating antitrust law.
