2. Who is A-dec?
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.

3. Innovation
Simplicity 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

Durability
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.

5. Long-term value
Quality + 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.
A nyone can build a chair, it’s really
who is there to help and service
after the sale.

6. Project management
Your A-dec team walks you through the entire project from start to finish.
Whether you want to replace some dental chairs or you’re building an entire facility, you can
depend on A-dec and our dealer partners to help you successfully complete the project. At
A-dec, we offer our services up-front, without commitment, and free of charge. You’ll have a
team of sales, engineer, and customer service professionals to help you realize your vision and
meet your goals. Plus, we provide tools so you can visualize product/room placement, spacing,
and flow before installation begins.
For more information on what A-dec equipment can do for you, contact your local, authorized
A-dec dealer or call A-dec Customer Service at 1.800.547.1883 within USA/Canada or
1.503.538.7478 outside USA/Canada.
T he 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.

Sydney, Australia
