DESCO Dental
DESCO Service headquartered in Hadley, MA Launches Dental Service Division,
Strengthening the Connection Between Dental and Healthcare Technology Management and DESCO’s Commitment to Workforce Development
DESCO is proud to announce…
DESCO is proud to announce the launch of DESCO Dental Service, expanding its commitment to patient care and safety into the growing field of dental equipment repair and maintenance. Thanks to the leadership of AAMI and Uptime Health, dental technology repair is now recognized as part of the Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) industry—a move that acknowledges the vital role dental systems play in overall healthcare delivery.
Demand for skilled dental repair professionals has grown significantly across the country as dental practices face the same challenges hospitals and biomedical departments encounter: maintaining reliable equipment to ensure safe and effective patient care.
To lead this new venture, DESCO welcomes Ryan Archambault, a veteran with 30 years of experience in the dental industry. Ryan joined DESCO in November 2025 and has already proven to be an invaluable in-house resource and external ambassador, strengthening DESCO’s presence and expertise in the dental market.
DESCO has partnered with Uptime Health…
DESCO has also partnered with Uptime Health to develop a sustainable and growth-focused division that will advance workforce development opportunities in field service. Through collaboration with Darrine Miller and her team at Uptime, DESCO is building training programs, business development initiatives, and technician resources designed to create career pathways for new entrants into the field.
Reflecting on the initiative, Andrea Bordenca, DESCO CEO, shared, “What excites me most is that working within dental creates accessibility and an expedient training pathway for high school students and seasoned professionals looking for a career transition with healthy living wages with healthcare and retirement benefits. We see we can provide this for our community members near and far as we grow. Dental repair provides a more expedient training pathway because, unlike surgery centers and hospitals, all dental operatories use similar equipment—dental chairs, delivery systems, compressors, and sterilizers—we can streamline technician education into a three-month program. This allows us to develop skilled professionals faster, supporting both the industry and our communities.”
DESCO is expanding…
Currently, DESCO is expanding its dental services across New England, focusing on Hartford, Connecticut; Springfield, Worcester, and Boston, Massachusetts. DESCO is also in conversations to expand in Miami and Jacksonville Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Atlanta, Georgia in 2026. Early results have been highly encouraging, reflecting the immense market demand for qualified dental field service technicians.
As growth continues, DESCO is committed to fostering opportunities for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Plans are underway for an internship program offering hands-on experience and exposure to the field, with full-time roles that include healthcare benefits and competitive salaries.
DESCO Dental Service represents a meaningful contribution to workforce developement and the future of Heathcare Technology Management.
