A rewards program with a real advantage
Since it was introduced in January 2009, more than 30,000 customers have enrolled in Patterson Dental’s rewards program, Patterson AdvantageTM. This revolutionary program offers members benefits in the areas of practice growth, technical service and practice management.

What can Patterson AdvantageTM do for me?

Patterson AdvantageTM is a unique rewards program with generous benefits that help you invest in your practice.

As a Patterson AdvantageTM member, you’ll earn Advantage Dollars on a percentage of your everyday merchandise purchases. These real dollar-for-dollar rewards can be reinvested into your practice through equipment and technology purchases.

Exciting technical service benefits include priority scheduling, service labor discounts and guaranteed response time. A percentage of technical service labor fees is deposited directly into your Advantage account as Advantage Dollars.

You’ll also be able to streamline your practice management, thanks to Patterson AdvantageTM resources. A personalized, password-protected Patterson AdvantageTM website allows you to track your Advantage Dollars balance and take advantage of special offers. Manufacturer specials and ontarget promotional offers are available exclusively to you as a member.

Reinvest with Patterson AdvantageTM

Although the program is only a year old, already a total of more than 10 million Advantage Dollars has been rewarded to customers Advantage accounts. Hundreds of doctors chose to redeem their Dollars in 2009 and reinvest in their practice.

Patterson AdvantageTM members Dr. Paul Goodman and Dr. Jay Rosenberg recently redeemed just over 1,000 of their Advantage Dollars to reduce the cost of a new A-dec delivery unit and light. “The Advantage Dollars are a great benefit,” said Dr. Goodman. “We got the Patterson service and a great price.” Dr. Goodman says his practice will use future Advantage Dollars for small equipment purchases.

In Farmerville, La., Dr. Vance Costello purchased an A-dec electric handpiece with his Advantage Dollars. Dr. Costello appreciates the Advantage Dollars because they allow him to buy the small equipment he needs, but would not otherwise buy. “It makes me more efficient and productive,” he said.

Dr. David Roholt of Auburn, Calif., purchased nine StarDental electric handpieces for his practice with his accumulated Advantage Dollars. While he appreciates earning Dollars with every merchandise purchase, Dr. Roholt is especially excited about the program’s technical service benefits. “The most valuable feature [of the Patterson AdvantageTM program] is having priority repair. With a very busy office, we have no extra rooms. When equipment goes down, we go down. Getting back up, whether it’s just one room or the whole office, is critical to keep flow and production happening,” said Dr. Roholt. “We would be like a ship without a sail without our Patterson representative and Patterson AdvantageTM.”
