CLEARWATER, Fla. - Michimich -- Progressive Dental Marketing, in partnership with The Closing Institute, today announced a strategic collaboration with Zest Dental Solutions, the global leader in overdenture and full-arch innovation. This partnership is designed to help dental practices accelerate full-arch growth, improve patient access to treatment, and increase case acceptance through a combined approach of advanced clinical solutions and proven marketing and sales systems.

As complete edentulism continues to rise, practices are facing increasing pressure to deliver predictable and affordable full-arch outcomes while also improving patient acquisition and conversion.

"This partnership provides that integrated growth platform, giving our doctors a comprehensive pathway to elevate full-arch care and truly change more patients' lives." says Bart Knellinger, President and CEO of Progressive Dental.

The partnership reflects a shared belief that modern implant practices need more than products. They need complete systems that support clinical excellence, patient demand generation, and confident case presentation. Through this alignment, doctors will gain access to a more comprehensive pathway to predictable full-arch growth.
