"Without the outstanding support of Ivoclar Vivadent and its donations of metals, teeth, CEREC blocks and other restorative materials used by our volunteer laboratories, DDS could never have reached today's milestone of providing dental therapies valued at $187 million to 101,000 people in 50 states," says Fred Leviton, President of Dental Lifeline Network. "Ivoclar Vivadent has been instrumental to the success and expansion of DDS, and we are profoundly grateful for its generosity.
