Founded in 1984, Dentek® is still a young company, but considered by many to be among the most innovative dental product companies in the industry. Already, Dentek® has achieved the distinction as the “leader in US retail sales of manual dental tools and accessories(Wikipedia) with over 40 products currently in production. Their product lines include: interdental cleaners, breath-freshening products, brace care products, whitening products, and much more.

Dentek.com: A Dental Health Resource

It doesn’t take long to see that Dentek® is not your average dental care product company. Simply visit Dentek.com to see what I’m talking about. Unlike many of the larger dental product companies, Dentek.com strives to make it easy for consumers to purchase dental products right on Dentek.com without sending you through hoops to do so. Some large dental product companies don’t even give you the option of purchasing their products online. Hello, it’s 2008.

Product Ratings & Reviews

One neat feature that you’ve probably seen on other shopping sites around the web is some sort of rating and/or review system that’s in place to help you make an informed buying decision. Dentek.com is the only dental product website I’ve seen that provides this service to their users. Personally, I like buying from companies that provide this kind of transparency for their customers. As a bonus for your participation, you’re eligible for special discounts on Dentek® products.

Product Information

Another strength of Dentek.com is the vast product information they provide customers. Unlike many dental product sites I’ve seen, Dentek.com provides very useful product information and usage instructions for each product so you know which product is the right one for you. There’s nothing worse that purchasing a product online only to find out it isn’t what you were looking for.

Consumer Education

One nice feature on Dentek.com that’s constantly growing is their Education Center. Here you will find educational dental care videos, a reference library, links to dental authority sites, and an extensive Q&A section. I definitely look forward to seeing this section grow – especially the video section.

Dentek Professional

If you’re a professional and want to shape the future of dental products, the Dentek® Professional section on Dentek.com is the place to do it. By registering to become a member of the Dentek® Pro Panel, your input will drive the development of new Dentek® products. Besides, they’ll send some money-saving product discounts your way for participating. Cool.

Dentek Nation

When you check out Dentek.com be sure to register to become a member of the Dentek Nation. As a member of the Dentek® Nation, you’ll be eligible for discounts and free stuff.

Dentek Community

The Dentek® Community is one of my favorite features on Dentek.com. Anybody who spends even a short amount of time on web can see the rising importance placed on networking and collaboration on the web in recent years – there’s Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. Dentek has managed to create a budding community that scraps all the junk found in most online communities, and focuses on one thing: improving users’ oral health. Users can participate in a forum and even create their own Dentek® dental care blog to share their adventures with dental care.

Final Thoughts

Dentek.com is well-deserving of our Site of the Week distinction. Few dental product websites are so comprehensive and user-friendly – not to mention FUN. Yes, I said it – Fun! Visit Dentek.com
