Benco Dental.

Benco Dental's leadership page says Benjamin Cohen founded the company in 1930 and that his son Larry Cohen is the second-generation owner. Larry joined in 1959 as manager of the tooth department, became an outside sales representative in 1960, and was president from 1965 to 1996. The contact page lists the office at 295 CenterPoint Blvd., Pittston, PA 18640, and the customer-service number 1-800-462-3626.

A Benco news release about a corporate reorganization says the Cohen family's dental holdings, including Benco Dental, would sit under a holding company called 1930 Ventures, and it describes Benco as a national distributor rather than a manufacturer of a single product line. The release says the firm was approaching its 100th anniversary in 2030 and was still family-owned. Charles Cohen is quoted there as managing director of 1930 Ventures.

The contact page also lists a Dallas-area design showroom and distribution center at 501 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 100, Flower Mound, TX 75028, and a Costa Mesa, California, design showroom at 3590 Harbor Gateway North. Those sites are in addition to the Pittston home office. A 2010 local report on the CenterPoint building described a large showroom and warehouse project. Use the current contact page for which buildings are open now.

Because Benco is a distributor, a brand profile cannot honestly list a Benco composite or a Benco chair as if the company formulated or fabricated it. The buying decision is which manufacturers' equipment and supplies the Pittston company will quote, install, and service. Chair, delivery, and materials guides on this site still help a practice write that shopping list.

Benco suits a US practice that wants a family-owned distributor for supplies and for equipment projects, with showrooms it can visit. Equipment categories on this site start at the equipment directory.

When the project is a chair or a delivery unit from any manufacturer, the chair guide and the delivery system guide are the category pages. Benco may quote those categories. It does not manufacture them.

A manufacturer page tells you who builds a product. A Benco invoice tells you who sold and, often, who installed it. Keep both names on the equipment record so a later repair call reaches the right party. Larry Cohen's leadership biography says he earned an accounting degree at Wilkes College in 1957, a graduate management degree at Columbia in 1958, and served in the Army Reserve from 1958 through 1964. The Pittston contact page is the operational address to use now.

Lab acrylics are one supply category a full-service dealer can order. The denture acrylic guide compares materials. It is not a list of Benco-branded resins.

Home office: 295 CenterPoint Blvd., Pittston, PA 18640. Main phone: 1-800-462-3626. Confirm whether your territory is served from Pittston or from another center before you promise a team a delivery date.

The 1930 Ventures structure is a holding-company change described by Benco. Day-to-day supply orders may still say Benco Dental. Read the seller name on the account application.
