While the com- pany has been using the name D4D Tech- nologies since it was established in 2003, from the start it has branded its products E4D, as in E4D Dentist, E4D Labworks, E4D Studio, E4D Compass, E4D Sky and E4D Compare. “The timing to unify the company name with our global branding coincides with the launch of our next generation E4D NEVO scanner and design center and our 10-year anniversary as a company,” said CEO Mark Quadling. “NEVO repre- sents the ‘natural evolution’ of digital dentistry, so this is the ideal time to also recognize the evolution of the company with its new name. The D4D that my brother Henley and I started 10 years ago with Basil Haymann has evolved into a global player with products changing dentistry around the world, through pri- vate and group practices, institutions and universities.” “The E4D brand has become synony- mous for many dental professionals with leadership and evolution in digital re- storative dentistry,” said Gary Severance, DDS, CMO. “By focusing on ‘E4D’ in every aspect, we can reinforce and strengthen our relationship with our customers and the broader dental community. We are also introducing a new look and logo with the E4D NEVO that reflect the exciting performance and plug-and-play capabili- ties of this new technology.” The name change and brand focus represent another step in the evolution of the company and its growing suite of digital solutions for dentistry. The launch of the E4D NEVO at the recent E4D Busi- ness of Dentistry Conference in Las Vegas, showcased leading clinicians and E4D op- erators who shared their early experience with NEVO as well as their extensive den- tal CAD/CAM expertise.
