Sinclair Dental Established

Bruce Sinclair left Denco in 1971 to enter the dental supply business and founded Sinclair Dental which was initially run from his West Vancouver home. As a result of securing key distribution agreements with several industry leading dental manufacturers, Bruce was able to develop Sinclair Dental into a company with a dozen employees and annual sales of $1.5 million in British Columbia.

During an Unassuming Drive…

During an unassuming drive along one of North Vancouver's side streets in 1987, Dr. Arjang Nowtash chanced upon Sinclair Dental and by early 1988 was the proud owner of the company that would ultimately be the instrument of his success. Over the next few years, Arjang passionately immersed himself in Sinclair gleaning an intimate understanding of all facets of the company that he completely restructured and positioned for its unprecedented growth.

New Beginnings

The decade of expansion that followed was almost totally internally generated. Known for his fierce independence and instinctive beliefs, Arjang was able to attract many of the industry's finest sales people and, through their flexible and unique approach to meeting the changing needs of the profession, Sinclair Dental became the leading full-service dental supply company in Western Canada. This period was also marked by a significant increase in the company's scope of products and services, revolutionary improvements to distribution and equipment servicing as well as its reputation for providing complete dental office design and installation.
