Designing a Flagship
In 2021, Life Dental unveiled its flagship practice in Oxford, Mississippi, marking a significant milestone in its journey of growth and expansion. What sets this flagship apart is not just its appealing architecture or advanced technologies, but also the meticulous selection of Midmark as the sole provider of clinical equipment—a decision rooted in trust, reliability and a shared commitment to excellence.
Jeff Hand, president for Life Dental Group, explains the rationale behind their partnership with Midmark, emphasizing the unparalleled support extended by the Midmark team as a pivotal factor in the decision-making process. This sentiment may resonate deeply with dental practitioners who understand the vital importance of seamless integration and reliable technical support in their day-to-day operations.
“We decided to partner with Midmark because of the support that team gave us and the quality of Midmark. […] I thought it was an easy decision because they made really—really—quality equipment.” —Jeff Hand, President, Life Dental Group
Selecting for Reliability and Safety
Reliability is paramount in a clinical setting, where downtime equates to lost revenue and compromised patient care. With Midmark equipment, Jeff says he and his flagship teammates can rest assured knowing their chairs, lights, sterilizers and essential equipment function seamlessly, minimizing disruptions and maximizing productivity. This peace of mind is invaluable, especially in a fast-paced environment where every minute counts.
Infection Prevention
Effective sterilization is non-negotiable in dentistry, where patient safety hinges on the meticulous adherence to stringent infection prevention protocols. Midmark instrument processing equipment—including ultrasonic cleaners and steam sterilizers—provides Life Dental Group with the assurance that with proper use, instruments can be thoroughly sterilized, free from contamination and compliant with industry standards. The reliability and quality of Midmark equipment can not only safeguard patient health but also help mitigate the risk of cross-contamination—an imperative in maintaining the highest standards of infection control and prevention.
Musculoskeletal Health
Ergonomics, sometimes overlooked yet indispensable, play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of both staff and patients. Midmark dental stools and chairs are designed to promote comfort, mobility and proper posture, mitigating the risk of musculoskeletal strain and injury among dental clinicians. By prioritizing the ergonomic needs of their team, Life Dental Group fosters a culture of safety, wellness and longevity—a testament to their commitment to employee satisfaction and retention.
“Staff and patients are all different shapes and sizes, so just the ergonomic benefit of Midmark stools and chairs—the maneuverability—help make sure no one is hurting,” says Jeff.
High-Performance Mechanicals
Reliable mechanical room equipment serves as the proverbial “engine” that drives a dental practice’s operations forward. Vacuum and air compressor systems, which Jeff describes as the lifeblood of the practice, are indispensable in ensuring the seamless functioning of essential utilities. With the robust infrastructure of Midmark mechanical equipment in place, Life Dental teammates can navigate the complexities of dental practice with confidence, knowing their operational backbone is fortified by reliability and efficiency.
Designing Better Care Together
For Life Dental Group, the decision to entrust Midmark with their clinical equipment needs was not just an easy one—it was a strategic imperative born out of a thorough assessment of performance and durability. Jeff cites his firsthand experience with the quality and craftsmanship of Midmark equipment as a driving force behind the partnership. And a visit to the Midmark Experience Center and manufacturing facilities only reaffirmed for Jeff the superiority of Midmark equipment in terms of both performance and durability.
In essence, Life Dental Group’s partnership with Midmark combines quality, reliability and innovation in a harmony that propels their commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centered care. As they continue to expand their footprint and redefine the standards of dental practice in the Southeast, Life Dental Group remains steadfast in their allegiance to Midmark—a trusted partner in their journey of growth, innovation and unwavering dedication to the communities they serve.
