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 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.

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.

Through collaboration with Darrine Miller and the 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.”
Currently, DESCO is expanding its dental services across New England, focusing on Hartford, Connecticut; Springfield, Worcester, and Boston, MA. DESCO is also in conversations to expand in Miami and Jacksonville FL; Raleigh, NC; and Atlanta, GA in 2026. Early results have been highly encouraging, reflecting the immense market demand for qualified dental field service technicians.

To learn more, catch Andrea on the popular HTM podcast “HTM on the Line” created & hosted by Bryant Hawkins. In this short, Bryant sits with Andrea at the Uptime Services Dental Summit in NC this past Sept. The episode is part of a series focusing on issues relevant to the dental industry, including technology management and business development. Check out Andrea of DESCO speaking to her decision to expand dental services. Check out link in comments.

💙Thanks to April & Adrianna of the WIL Society, Andrea will be speaking at MD Expo.

⏰This was initially Adrianna’s time slot.

🔧Adrianna has shifted gears & won’t be speaking as planned. She was slated to speak on “winning in HTM” synthesizing her cheerleading, mom, & professional experience into an educational session.

🌟Inspired by Adrianna, Andrea is keeping that theme. When asked Andrea reported “I can’t think of anything I love more than the htm community support. It’s exemplified daily in the Women In Leadership community.”��📱If you’re headed to MD Expo, let Andrea know!��✨ Session: Winning in HTM: Leading with Purpose, Resilience, and Real-World Insight�Perspectives from a CEO / Leadership Coach / Mom��🗓️ Join us at MD Expo Dallas and be part of the conversation.
