Establish a Relationship With such a huge investment in a digital practice, it is extremely important to find an equally digital dental lab that is fully equipped to partner with you in order to serve you and your patients. The results are more accurate, functional, and esthetic while dentist-lab communication is more effective, easier, consistent, and reliable. Adam Prewitt is co-founder and CEO of Digital Esthetic Solutions, a fully digital dental laboratory in Colleyville, Texas. In 2003, Adam earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of North Texas in Denton. Immediately following graduation, Adam began his career as a sales professional where he gained training and experience across various business sectors, all at Fortune 500 companies, such as Konica Minolta and ADP. In 2007, Adam was introduced to the dental laboratory field and was instantly intrigued. Shortly thereafter, he was hired as a Field Sales Consultant for Zahn Dental, the laboratory division of Henry Schein. During his seven and a half years with Henry Schein, he served in both sales and management roles allowing him the opportunity to partner with hundreds of dental laboratories to assist in find- ing the best, most economic and dependable technology, materials, and supplies available to enable them to improve efficiencies, cut costs, and better serve their dental clients. After his departure from Zahn, he served as the Director of Sales for Harvest Dental Products where he assisted in the strategic sales initiatives of the company, managed and supported their distribution network, and served as the sales ambassador to the dental laboratory market. His multi-layered experience has garnered Adam a good understanding of the dental industry, latest digital technologies, advanced materials, and market trends. Based on this knowledge, his passion for the field and understanding of solid business principles, he not only saw a great business opportunity, but was inspired to open a modern dental laboratory. Adam hopes to encourage dentists and other lab owners to take the leap into modern dentistry through sharing his motivation and inspiration behind the opening of his own dental lab in today’s rapidly changing market.
