Modern Dental Laboratory USA NamedFastest Growing Private Company and Best Workplace

SEATTLE, Wash. – March 8, 2011 – Modern Dental Laboratory USA (Modern USA) is building an industry-leading company on quality products, services and staff. It is due to this commitment to excellence that the lab has been able to grow into one of the 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies and the Best Workplaces in Washington State, as recently awarded by the Puget Sound Business Journal in the small business category.

Modern USA has been able to grow into one of the 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies by attracting new dentists and continuing to be a great partner to existing clients through its dedication to quality. As a certified Medical Device Manufacturer – with its manufacturing facility adhering to the high manufacturing standards set forth by the ISO 13485:2003 best-practices – its dentists know they can rely on Modern USA to deliver reliable, safe and high-quality restorations every time.

"The companies that make this list are, by definition, among the most dynamic in our region," said Puget Sound Business Journal Publisher Emory Thomas Jr. "Especially this year, they have beaten the odds imposed by the Great Recession, making membership on this elite list all the more impressive. These companies are showing all of us what qualities it takes to grow in challenging times."

Modern USA also knows that in order to grow, it needs to be a trusted partner to its dentists. That is why Modern USA’s dentists benefit from the strong relationships they develop with the company’s highly knowledgeable and friendly service staff who help dentists manage every case efficiently and quickly. Modern USA hires and retains great people by creating a rewarding working environment that was named the 2nd Best Workplace in Washington State’s small businesses. Staff enjoy perks such as paid continuing education, fostering long-term growth and fulfillment. Patrick Tessier, CEO of Modern Dental Laboratory USA shared a few ideas about what makes a great workplace in this Puget Sound Business Journal article.

With this culture of growth, Modern USA’s team is constantly striving to develop new and valuable products and services for dentists. Due to its solid reputation, Modern USA was recently selected by Dr. Allen Moses of Chicago to exclusively manufacturer his new oral appliance, treating snoring and mild sleep apnea. The Moses™ is the only oral appliance that incorporates the three attributes of a successful anti-snore appliance: Mandibular advancement, tongue management, and patient compliance. Combined with the Medibyte© from BRAEBON, dentists are now able to add a new service to their offices, professional in-office snore treatment. For more about The Moses™ visit www.themoses.com.
