BIOLASE Announces Grand Opening of Training Facility to Reach Wider Universe of Dental Practitioners; First-Hand Experience Using Leading Dental Laser Technology Expected to Generate Increased Revenue Opportunities
Strategically Located Facility To Provide Best-in-Class Education & Training Programs
LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, today announced plans to open a state-of-the-art training facility, "BIOLASE Education Center" with an Open House scheduled for 5 PM Pacific time on Thursday, July 27, 2023. The BIOLASE Education Center will be strategically located adjacent to BIOLASE's global headquarters in Lake Forest, California, and will provide dentists with hands-on training and education using BIOLASE's industry-leading dental laser technology.
The BIOLASE Education Center is designed to provide dental clinicians with a comfortable, engaging learning environment tailored around laser education. Its modular design will allow BIOLASE to host a variety of events and courses. The BIOLASE Education Center will also be located adjacent to a state-of-the-art dental office, "Laser Smiles," which will be able to provide access to live patient education.
The BIOLASE Education Center will serve many purposes for the company. First and foremost, this facility will provide best-in-class education and training to dental clinicians on BIOLASE's Waterlase all-tissue and Epic diode laser products. Waterlase all-tissue laser course offerings will focus on various dental disciplines, including restorative, periodontics, endodontics, and pediatric dentistry. Epic diode laser course offerings will include soft-tissue surgical and non-surgical hygiene applications.
"This new facility is designed to build upon our success in adding new laser dentists and to attract the 90% of U.S. dentists that are not currently benefiting from laser technology," commented John Beaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of BIOLASE. "We expect these destination-style facilities to encourage wider participation and ensure dental practitioners receive a consistent educational experience from experts in their fields. We also expect the hands-on training will give these practitioners greater confidence to adopt our lasers for better patient outcomes while at the same time attracting new patients interested in the enhanced capabilities made possible with dental laser technology."
