Equipment Needs Put at Ease
Bay Minette might be a small town, but it’s home to DentalEZ, one of the largest manufacturers of dental operatory equipment in the United States. The Glass’, who live in Montrose, felt they had a responsibility to support their community by outfitting the practice with DentalEZ equipment.
Wight and the Glass’ spent a day touring the DentalEZ plant and visiting the showroom. “Jennifer felt strongly, and I totally agree, that she should buy local equipment from a local manufacturer,” Wight said. “But we wanted to make sure the equipment was the quality she needed – that she didn’t just go blindly into DentalEZ. In the end, however, it was the best equipment for the practice.”

The company also recognized their unique opportunity to build a showcase office right in their hometown. “Jennifer’s a dentist for a lot of DentalEZ employees, so they knew their workers were going to be looking closely at the practice,” Glenn said. DentalEZ representative Phil Williams was the couple’s advocate. He helped them select chairs, workstations, sterilization, track mount lights and more for the dental side of the practice.
One Side at a Time
Together with Jennifer and Glenn, Wight devised a floor plan that placed new dental operatories into the vacated suite so that the Patterson team could remodel half of the practice while the other, future ortho side remained open. “We were able to put our heads together and design the building so that we could maximize what we were able to do while minimizing time down,” Glenn said.
When October finally arrived and the suite next to North Baldwin Dental Care was available, the Patterson team didn’t waste time getting to work. “The day the former tenants moved out we cut the floor and laid the pipes,” Wight said. “It moved fast.”
While it was business as usual for Jennifer and Glenn, next door the Patterson team constructed Jennifer’s side of the practice with one private and four semi-private operatories. She selected DentalEZ J/V Generation chairs, stools, units and track-mount lights, along with track-mounted monitors, TVs and computers. She purchased a Proline XC digital pan and moved her practice from film-based to digital.
Lab and sterilization were given more room and prominence in the new area. DentalEZ custom-designed the center specific to the couple’s needs and matched it exactly to Jennifer’s dental equipment.
