Vista Dental announces acquisition of APEX Dental Materials

Vista Dental announced the acquisition of Apex Dental Materials, Inc. Apex was founded in 1998 to address the need in the dental industry for a company that's dedicated to solving the restorative material issues of the practicing clinician.

“While Vista is renowned for endodontic solutions, we recognize that every root canal ends with a restorative procedure," says James Onderak, president of Vista Dental. "That is why we are thrilled to combine the Apex restorative products with the existing Vista portfolio."

According to Scott Lamerand, co-owner of Apex Dental Materials, “The Vista Dental team brings the talents and resources necessary to take the Apex restorative lines to the next level. The collaboration between the companies is tremendous and we’re excited about what the future holds.”

Combined, Vista and Apex will provide a robust line of value-oriented endodontic and restorative dental solutions. There will reportedly be no immediate changes to ordering and service procedures for customers or vendors. However, in the future, Apex products will be available through Vista’s established distribution partners.
