INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., USA: AMD Group LLC and its founder and president, Alan Miller, recently announced the purchase of AMD LASERS from DENTSPLY International. The sale was effective Aug. 1. Miller launched AMD (Alan Miller Designs) with the Picasso laser in 2009. The company rapidly grew and was purchased by DENTSPLY in 2011, expanding its product distribution network around the world.

“Over the past five years Picasso laser technology has been loved, celebrated and endorsed by clinicians, hygienists, universities, hospitals, dental clinics and patients around the world,” the company said in a press release announcing the sale. “Picasso laser technology has won numerous industry awards, while Alan Miller and AMD LASERS have also been recognized by non-dental associations for innovation, design, technology and company growth.”

Miller expressed the company’s thoughts on this organizational change. “This is a great outcome for our customers and our company,” he said. “In taking AMD LASERS private again, we can go back to our roots, focusing on the entrepreneurial spirit that made AMD LASERS one of the fastest growing and most successful companies in the dental laser industry.”

“DENTSPLY is a fantastic company with some of the most talented people I have ever met,” Miller said. “They did a great job converting AMD into a very sophisticated operating company, and I couldn’t thank them enough for furthering the interest in dental lasers.”

“Quality, value, and support set AMD LASERS and its product offering apart from the competition,” the press release continued. “This is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing not only the best dental lasers but also the education, service and support that the dental profession rightfully demands and expects.”
