Biolase Announces Agreement with DSO Dental Care Alliance

BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers announced an agreement with Dental Care Alliance (DCA), one of the largest dental support organizations (DSO) in the United States with more than 330 affiliated practices in 20 states, to expand laser adoption and hands-on training programs in targeted geographies. The Company expects the agreement to lead to a rollout across all DCA offices in 2021.
“BIOLASE’s’ EpicX™ and Epic Hygiene™ lasers are the standard of care in the dental industry,” said Dr. Don Gallo, Chief Clinical Officer for DCA. “We believe the adoption of this leading technology in our offices will provide a new standard of care for our hygiene appointments while ensuring a safer environment by reducing aerosolization and addressing early stage periodontal disease. We are excited about the prospect of providing aerosol-free, less invasive soft tissue procedures, thereby creating a superior patient experience.”
“Our industry-leading dental lasers allow us to properly service a customer like DCA, and by reducing aerosols in dental offices we believe we can improve the safety of its office staff and patients,” said Todd Norbe, BIOLASE President and CEO. “The demand for EpicX and Epic Hygiene lasers is rising, and this year alone we have sold over 100 systems to DCA. We are excited to be partnering with DCA as they continue to roll out our Epic lasers across their U.S. offices.”
