product profile feature Synergy Dental Partners What is Synergy? Synergy Dental Partners is one of the ﬁrst dentist-owned and -operated group purchasing organizations (GPO) in the dental industry. Synergy was cofounded by Drs. Mustafa Shah-Khan and Rick Offutt in 2010 to help counter the pressures being felt by the independent dental practitioner. By banding dentists together in 48 states, Synergy leverages the buying power of its independent practices to achieve cost savings normally reserved for large practice groups or corporate dental organizations. In doing so, Synergy has helped reduce overhead and increase the proﬁtability of its members. Originally, the Synergy concept centered around savings on consumable dental supplies (Darby Dental Supply). As Synergy has grown, the GPO has added a rotary- instrument supplier (Komet USA), an implant partner (BioHorizons), and a partnership with Philips Sonicare. The past 12 months have been very exciting for Synergy-the organization launched partnerships with a full-service dental lab, DDS Lab; the leading sectionalmatrix company, Garrison Dental Solutions; and an impression-material specialist, Kettenbach USA. Through its family of partners, Synergy is able to provide its members with savings of 15 percent to 65 percent on a variety of products that doctors use daily. Membership in Synergy is free, and there is no required contract or spending minimum. Doctors may order as little as one cotton roll or everything that they clinically use. Visit thesynergydentalpartners.com to see how they can help your practice. ■ Everything is easier with a partner. Synergy is a group purchasing organization based on the concept of leveraging the purchasing power of independent dental practices to negotiate discounts with suppliers in the dental field.
