Zest Dental Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Progressive Dental and The Closing Institute aimed at helping dental practices expand full-arch treatment services and improve patient access to care.
The collaboration will focus on supporting practices that provide full-arch restorations and implant-based treatments, an area seeing growing demand as rates of complete tooth loss increase. The companies say the initiative will combine clinical education, patient acquisition strategies, and case presentation training to help dentists deliver more predictable and affordable outcomes.
According to Progressive Dental President and CEO Bart Knellinger, modern implant practices require more than advanced products to grow successfully. They also need integrated systems that strengthen patient demand and improve treatment acceptance. He said the partnership is designed to provide doctors with a clear pathway to expand full-arch care and reach more patients.
Under the agreement, Zest will participate in several educational and growth programs run by Progressive Dental and The Closing Institute. These include Boot Camps and the Full-Arch Growth Conference, as well as joint webinars, co-branded educational materials, and practice development content.
The Closing Institute will also contribute specialized training on treatment presentation to Zest’s clinical education program, Zest Masters. The goal is to help clinicians better communicate treatment options and increase patient acceptance of full-arch procedures.
As part of the partnership, the organizations plan to integrate Zest treatment protocols into The Closing Institute’s coaching programs. This includes the company’s LOCATOR FIXED and LOCATOR removable overdenture solutions, which are designed to support implant-based full-arch restorations.
Zest Dental Solutions CEO Tom Stratton said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to addressing the growing care gap in full-arch dentistry. By combining implant technologies with structured practice growth systems, he said the initiative aims to help dentists confidently deliver life-changing tooth replacement solutions to more patients.
