Progressive Dental & The Closing Institute Partner with Zest Dental Solutions to Elevate Full-Arch Growth and Patient Outcomes

CLEARWATER, Fla. - PrZen -- 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.

The partnership reflects a shared belief that modern implant practices need more than products—they need complete systems that support clinical excellence, patient demand generation, and confident case presentation. Through this alignment, doctors gain a comprehensive pathway to predictable full-arch growth.

Under the agreement, Zest will participate in key Progressive Dental and The Closing Institute initiatives, including Boot Camps and the Full-Arch Growth Conference, while collaborating on co-branded education and webinars. Zest procedures, including LOCATOR FIXED® and LOCATOR® removable overdenture solutions, will also be integrated into The Closing Institute coaching pathway to better connect clinical protocols with patient acquisition and case acceptance strategies.

"This partnership is a powerful reflection of our shared commitment to addressing the patient care gap in full-arch dentistry. By integrating Zezt's industry leading LOCATOR Removable & LOCATOR FIXED integrated solution with the proven practice growth systems of Progressive Dental and The Closing Institute, we are providing a complete pathway for doctors to confidently deliver life-changing full-arch solutions," says Tom Stratton, CEO of Zest Dental.
