What ACE SOUTHERN does
ACE Southern is a U.S. dental and medical supplies distributor founded in 1967 and headquartered in Melville, New York. The company specializes in bone grafting products used in dental implant surgery, oral reconstruction, periodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, serving dental professionals including oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists. Its product portfolio centers on bone grafting materials and related surgical supplies, supported by a Clinical Specialist team and dedicated customer service function.
The company has been acquired by or transitioned into a distribution arrangement with Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), a major publicly traded dental and medical supply distributor. ACE Southern's bone grafting products are now distributed exclusively through Henry Schein's dental supply distribution network and e-commerce platform. The transition preserved continuity: the same products, same pricing, same Clinical Specialists, and same customer service team remain in place. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and ordering is conducted through Henry Schein's e-commerce storefront, which also gives customers access to Henry Schein's broader dental supply catalog.
As a now-integrated brand within Henry Schein's distribution ecosystem, ACE Southern operates as a specialty channel for bone grafting within Henry Schein's oral surgery and periodontics specialty experience. The company does not appear to maintain its own proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, or independent sales force; rather, its competitive position derives from its specialized product portfolio and the clinical specialist relationships that were preserved through the Henry Schein transition.
