Two offices win new dental equipment in Treatment Room Makeover Contest from A-dec NEWBERG, Ore., Aug. 12 /EMWNews/ -- Two dental practices will be enjoying a full makeover of a treatment room, complete with new dental equipment, courtesy of a contest put on by A-dec, Inc. Each grand prize package has a suggested retail value of $50,000. () Dr. Juliette Murcko's contest entry for new dental equipment convinced A-dec contest judges that her patients deserved a full treatment room makeover. Her Pittsburgh neighborhood practice's third treatment area still housed her recently retired father's red 1956 Ritter unit. The room was quite a topic of curiosity for new patients with its vibrant color and many mechanical arms reaching out over the patient chair. The other grand prize winner, Dr. Stewart Shernan, owner of Andaluna Cosmetic Dental in the Boston area, was nearly speechless upon hearing that his practice was a grand prize winner. "I just can't believe it! I'm at a loss for words," he said. "I was thinking of new equipment again this year and went to the A-dec website," said Dr. Shernan. "The contest for a full treatment room makeover showed up on the screen and my wife said, 'this is kismet, you've got to do it.' I had my doubts; I don't think I've ever won anything in my life." Dr. Shernan entered the treatment room makeover contest earlier this year with a photo of his late father's 55-year old equipment and a plea to update the space for patients. When planning his new treatment room, Dr. Shernan wanted to ensure his father's patients were comfortable in familiar surroundings. The new room will allow patients to view his father's antique equipment on display and feel right at home. "We're very happy to award these prizes. From the photos we received from our two grand prize winners, we know that their practices are very deserving," said Peggy Fisher, A-dec's Director of Marketing. "This contest promotion has been a great way for our company to reach out to our dentist partners and help their practices continue to be successful." To become a contestant, doctors either went online to the A-dec web site, or filled out a postage-paid form with a photo of their current treatment room along with a brief essay on why they wanted the chance to win a treatment room makeover. A-dec received nearly 1,900 entries during the contest. Fifty doctors were also awarded VIP trips to A-dec's headquarters in Newberg, Ore., in the Willamette Valley's wine growing region.
