About DentalEZ
A DentalEZ utility catalog prints the corporate office at 301 Lindenwood Drive, Suite 100, Malvern, PA 19355, telephone 800-293-5206. Its timeline says DentalEZ started selling a reclining treatment chair, the J-Chair, around 1958. It dates the StarDental and Columbia Dentoform acquisition to 2002, RAMVAC to 2007, and Forest Dental to 2018. A 26 December 2018 release confirms the Forest acquisition and says Forest was then a 45-year-old Hillsboro, Oregon, manufacturer whose leadership, including Hank Barton, would stay in Hillsboro.
A 2025 corporate overview repeats those dates and places Star handpieces and Columbia Dentoform with Lancaster, Pennsylvania, RAMVAC utility with Bay Minette, Alabama, Forest equipment with Hillsboro, and Nevin workstations with Chicago. The Malvern address remains the headquarters on that sheet. The 2018 release lists the portfolio as StarDental, DentalEZ Equipment, RAMVAC, NevinLabs, and Columbia Dentoform, and says Forest would continue as Forest Dental Equipment.
A DentalEZ news page on the utility line says RAMVAC began with dentist Bob Meyer in the Spearfish, South Dakota, area. Employee Jeff Flesner, quoted there, says the first vacuum Meyer built in 1972 was still running in the old office and that Meyer later sold the business to DentalEZ, with production moving to Alabama while service stayed near Spearfish. That is DentalEZ's own account of the vacuum brand.
Dentistry Today reported in January 2011 that StarDental was marking 100 years, which places the handpiece line in 1911, decades before DentalEZ acquired it in 2002. The article credits Star with a LubeFree handpiece, a built-in light source, and a sonic scaler in 1979. A chair, a handpiece, a vacuum, and a Forest cabinet are four purchases even though one sales team may quote them together. The 2025 overview also says Nevin has built laboratory workstations for more than 85 years and that Columbia Dentoform teaching models are used by schools. A typodont is not an operatory chair. Keep the teaching model off the equipment schedule unless the school order asks for it.
Also known as StarDental, RAMVAC, Forest Dental.
Key Offerings
Product and equipment lines dentists commonly associate with DentalEZ.
DentalEZ chairs
The catalog timeline dates the reclining J-Chair to about 1958. Current chair models, weight ratings, and upholstery are not on that timeline. Ask for the data sheet of the chair on the quote.
StarDental handpieces
Star is the handpiece brand DentalEZ acquired in 2002. The 2011 anniversary article traces the line to 1911 and names fiber optics, a sonic scaler, and LubeFree ceramic bearings among later introductions. Match the coupler to the delivery unit.
RAMVAC utility
RAMVAC is the vacuum brand acquired in 2007, with the origin story on DentalEZ's utility article and production associated with Bay Minette, Alabama, on the 2025 overview. Dry vacuums and any water-recirculating pumps should be named separately on the order.
Forest equipment
The December 2018 release says Forest's chairs and delivery equipment stay in the portfolio and that the Hillsboro team remained. Forest is the operatory brand. It is not the Star handpiece and not the RAMVAC pump.
Who DentalEZ suits
DentalEZ suits a practice outfitting a treatment room and a utility room from one US group that still builds under several brand names. Chairs are compared on the dental chair guide.
Delivery and lights sit with the chair. See the delivery system guide and the operatory light guide. Handpieces are on the handpiece guide.
Four plants, one quote
The 2025 overview splits work across Malvern, Lancaster, Bay Minette, Hillsboro, and Chicago. A single DentalEZ quote can include products from more than one of those sites. Warranty and parts follow the brand on the serial plate.
Utility equipment is not cabinetry. Vacuums and compressors are on the vacuum guide and the compressor guide. Cabinets are on the cabinet guide.
Malvern contact
The catalog prints 301 Lindenwood Drive, Suite 100, Malvern, PA 19355, and 800-293-5206. The 2021 catalog also lists 866.DTE.INFO for orders. Confirm which number the current site uses.
Forest's December 2018 release said the Hillsboro leadership stayed. If you are servicing an older Forest chair, ask whether parts now ship from Oregon or from another DentalEZ site.
