At Paradise Dental Technologies (PDT), innovation, ergonomics, and a commitment to advancing the dental industry have been at the heart of our mission since day one. Founded in 2000, PDT grew from a small garage operation in Montana to a globally recognized leader in dental instruments.

Our dedication to listening, observing, and evolving has not only driven innovation but has also allowed us to support the future of dentistry through initiatives such as the Student Research Awards. Through RDH magazine, this program recognizes senior dental hygiene students for their contributions to advancing dentistry, celebrating their research, ideas, and hard work as they present their projects, capstone studies, and table clinics. We believe these students are tomorrow’s innovators, and their work plays a vital role in the profession.

Encouraging innovation and collaboration

My vision has always centered on collaboration and innovation. By supporting student research, PDT provides an opportunity for emerging dental professionals to explore solutions to real-world challenges. The Student Research Awards not only foster creativity but also encourage collaboration between students, educators, and established professionals. This creates a unique environment where new ideas thrive, and future leaders are inspired.

A shared commitment to excellence

As a company committed to ergonomic, efficient, and effective dental care solutions, PDT understands the importance of investing in research and education. Sponsoring this program allows us to support lifelong learning and celebrate the dental professionals who are shaping the future.

Looking ahead

At PDT, we are honored to play a part in nurturing innovation and empowering the dental professionals of tomorrow. Through initiatives like the Student Research Awards, we continue to uphold our mission of creating a dental paradise—where clinicians, patients, and future leaders thrive together.
