Designed for Endodontists

The Leader in Advanced Endodontic Systems™

For over thirty years ASI has taken a unique approach to instrument delivery. ASI which stands for Advanced Systems Integration was one of the pioneers in integrating a variety of instruments into one delivery system that could operate from a single foot control. This design concept was ideal for dental specialists performing advanced procedures but particularly lent itself to the needs of endodontists who utilize an extensive armamentarium of electronic instruments.

ASI became dedicated to the needs of endodontists when Dr. Gary Carr, a leading lecturer and developer of systems and solutions for endodontists, contacted John McPeek the President/Founder of ASI about making an endodontic cart. This occurred in the mid-1990s and ever since ASI has listened to the needs and wants of endodontists to refine and expand our advanced product offering along with unique instruments and capabilities that general dental companies do not provide.

Unique Modular and Customizable Designs

A distinct feature of ASI delivery systems is that they are cart-based versus arm-mounted on a chair. This mobility along with a larger and stable platform allows for an extensive array of instruments to be integrated into the system and easily rolled into an ergonomic position ideal for microscope based endodontic treatment. Additional instruments can be mounted onto the cart along with computer monitors and USB connections for digital sensors, thereby streamlining everything onto one cart and removing clutter from the treatment room. Our cart systems are primarily connected to central

air compressor and/or vacuum but can be self-contained with internal on-board utilities.

ASI’s modular panel design within the delivery system is a key element for integrating a variety of brands and types of endodontic instruments. This allows for ease in customizing the instrumentation to our customers’ preferences and further allows for upgrading instruments years later to newer designs.

Specialized Staff Knowledge

A benefit we provide for our endodontic customers is that our sales and service staff are trained on endodontic treatment and instrumentation used. Unlike general dental distributors, this specialized knowledge allows our staff to readily converse with customers about what they want to accomplish for their office delivery and how best to achieve that goal. Lifetime aftersales support is key and our support team knows best to help troubleshoot issues with integrated endodontic instruments and work with local service technicians to maintain systems and arrange repairs if needed.

Made in America with High Quality Construction

ASI is based in Englewood, Colorado and throughout the history of the company has made it a focus to utilize domestic manufacturing to better control quality and availability but also allows for more responsive ability to change and improve designs as needed. This flexibility and insistence on grade and thickness of materials has allowed us to create high quality construction of our carts and constantly improve the reliability and dependability of internal components.

Endodontic practice coaching to transform your practice and life!

Endo Mastery was founded with a mission to help every endodontist achieve incredible professional and personal success.

With over 25 years of client success, we are the most experienced endodontic coaching team with a proven track record. Dr. Ace Goerig and the Endo Mastery team have educated and coached more than 20% of endodontists and their teams nationwide.

Endodontic Career Priorities

For early-career endodontists who are new to practice ownership or planning for it, financial limitations driven by high education debt create uncertainty and the perception of risk. Establishing or acquiring a practice affordably and rapidly growing productivity and the bottom line are top priorities for every new owner.

For mid-career endodontists, many suspect their practices are under-achieving in teamwork, efficiency and profitability. The average endodontist completes only 3 to 4 cases per day, often accompanied by daily stress. Financial stress and lingering debt can be overpowering burdens. Top priorities are practice growth, daily enjoyment for the long haul, and better team and practice results.

For late-career endodontists, the focus often shifts to planning for their eventual life after endodontics. Catching up financially is important for doctors who feel behind in this stage, and top priorities include better lifestyle options while optimizing practice value to prepare for an equity event or transaction.

Effortless Endodontics

Endo Mastery focuses on eliminating barriers, empowering your vision, and achieving clinical excellence in a highly profitable, team-driven environment. We help you:

• Master clinical efficiency with high productivity.

• Elevate teamwork, eliminate drama, and have fun.
