Amann Girrbach North America and Spear Education Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Digital Dentistry

Collaboration connects advanced clinical education with digital workflows and CAD/CAM technology to help clinicians confidently deliver complex restorative care. 

Amann Girrbach North America is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Spear Education, a leading provider of advanced dental education and professional development. The collaboration brings together Spear’s expertise in comprehensive treatment planning and clinical education with Amann Girrbach’s innovative digital workflows and 5-axis Ceramill milling technology. 

Together, the organizations share a commitment to helping dental professionals bridge the gap between treatment planning and execution, giving clinicians the knowledge, confidence, and technology to deliver high-quality restorative care. 

Connecting Clinical Education with Digital Innovation 

As digital dentistry continues to evolve, clinicians need more than advanced technology. They need the clinical knowledge, practical training, and confidence to integrate digital solutions into everyday practice. 

Spear Education equips dental professionals with the skills to diagnose, treatment plan, and manage complex restorative cases through a combination of hands-on workshops, seminars, digital learning, and collaborative study clubs. 

Amann Girrbach complements this educational foundation with integrated digital workflows, CAD/CAM solutions, and advanced Ceramill milling technology designed to support precision, efficiency, and predictable restorative outcomes. 

“I couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Spear,” said Keith Clements, CEO of Amann Girrbach North America. “By combining Spear’s world-class clinical education with Amann Girrbach’s advanced, intuitive digital technology, we’re empowering clinicians to take on more complex cases, expand their capabilities, and deliver dentistry at a level they may not have thought possible. Clinicians are ready for technology that allows them to do more for their patients. Together with Spear, we’re making those possibilities a reality.” 

By connecting these complementary strengths, the partnership aims to help clinicians translate comprehensive treatment plans into high-quality restorations while expanding their capabilities in digital dentistry. 

A Shared Commitment to Advancing Restorative Dentistry 

At the center of the partnership is a shared vision: empowering dental professionals to approach increasingly complex cases with greater confidence. 

“Technology is changing what’s possible in restorative dentistry, but education is what empowers clinicians to fully realize its potential,” said Dr. Dan Butterman, Chief Dental Officer, Spear Education. “By partnering with Amann Girrbach, we’re bringing together Spear’s approach to comprehensive treatment planning with innovative 5-axis milling technology and digital workflows. Together, we have an opportunity to help dentists expand their capabilities, approach more cases with confidence, and ultimately deliver better care for their patients.”  

Spear’s emphasis on comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning aligns with Amann Girrbach’s commitment to delivering integrated digital solutions that support the restorative process, from design through production. 

The collaboration reinforces the importance of connecting clinical expertise with technological innovation, supporting a more comprehensive approach to modern restorative dentistry. 

Through this partnership, both organizations look forward to creating opportunities that bring education, technology, and real-world clinical applications closer together.
