Small Town, Big Surprise: 2012 Gendex
Sweepstakes Winner
In September, a dental office
in the small town of Bucyrus,
Ohio got a big surprise. The
husband and wife dental team of Drs.
Attila and Michelle Nagy won a GXDP700 imaging system in the 2012 Gendex
Sweepstakes.
Since setting up this practice in February 2006, the Nagys have tried to grow
their practice options. “We do general
dentistry, surgery, some endodontics,
Invisalign®, and emergencies,” explains
Michelle.
Attila started taking a series of orthodontic courses and found that to properly
serve orthodontic patients, he would
need an imaging system that could take
cephalometrics.
“Attila is an insomniac and was on the
Internet checking out pan and ceph
machines that fit the small footprint of
our office space,” recalled Michelle. The
GXDP-700 piqued his interest, and he
signed up for the promotion to win a free
GXDP-700.
The versatile Gendex unit can capture a
variety of radiographs from a full complement of 2D panoramics to cephalometrics
to 3D (small field of view), giving growing
practices the freedom to expand their
treatment options. The Nagy’s long-time
Henry Schein representative Kristine
Hilton played a pivotal role in unveiling
the secret prize.
“She knows that I work part-time,
but she texted my husband to
make sure that I would be in the
office that day.” After lunch, the
excitement began to unfold.
“We saw this enormous blue bus
pull into the alley next to our
office. Then, we saw the camera
crew outside,” described
Michelle. “I had no idea that
my husband had even signed
up for this, and since he entered
a while back, he forgot about it
too. Finally, they told us that we
had won! We were so excited
and posted our good news on our
Facebook page.” The Facebook
page explained, “This will not
only replace our panoramic X-ray
unit (the one that spins around
your head to detect any problems
in the entire jaw/sinus area) but
also will allow us to take very
high-quality X-rays for
orthodontic (braces) treatment
we now provide in our office.”
Besides quality care for their
patients here in the US, the
couple has recently established
a charity called Smiles of Hope
Here and There in Nagydobrony,
Ukraine. Attila does dental work
at a girl’s orphanage where all of
the children speak Hungarian,
Attila’s native language.
“The clinic, with only the most
basic equipment, has one chair,
and is the only one in the region,”
says Michelle. “During his visit,
he provides dental care for the
girls in the orphanage, the local
school children, foster children,
and some adults as well.”
The Gendex GXDP-700 Series is a
dynamic panoramic, cephalometric, and
3D Cone Beam solution.
The dental duo anticipates that
the GXDP-700 will help them
provide more services to their
patients because of the scope of
imaging choices; the pan offers

11 projections for three patient sizes and will
increase the quality of their X-ray images. Patient
comfort is also a focus.
Michelle adds, “The new pan/ceph unit will be
amazing. My own daughter has such a bad gag
reflex that I have never been able to get a bitewing
on her, and I have about four other patients that
have a similar problem. I even have a special
needs patient that we need to anesthetize to take
X-rays. One child’s mother told us that she was in
tears knowing that we had to take X-rays during
her appointment the next day.”
Michelle anticipates a much better imaging
experience with the GXDP-700. “It will be so
much easier and more comfortable for our
patients, and my daughter will be the first one.”
