CLEARWATER, Fla. - AstroBug -- 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.
