Meet Jonathan

A trusted partner in Swiss-precision dentistry.

Jonathan L. McDermott is the NY Metropolitan Sales Representative for Bien-Air USA, bringing 65+ years of Swiss-engineered dental innovation to the practices that demand the very best. Covering New York and New Jersey, he partners with general dentists, endodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists across the NY Metro region.

The short version.

Jonathan represents Bien-Air USA — the U.S. arm of one of Switzerland's most respected dental manufacturers. Bien-Air has been engineering handpieces, motors, and clinical systems since 1959, building from La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland — the same canton famous for fine watchmaking. The engineering DNA is exactly what you'd expect: quiet, balanced, durable, and obsessed with tolerances measured in microns.

From the iconic BORA 2 air handpiece to the CA NOVA 1:5 L high-speed contra-angle, the MX-i PLUS LED surgical micromotor, and the ProImplant iPad-controlled implant system — Jonathan helps practices select, install, train on, and maintain the right Bien-Air solution for their specific workflow.

"The doctors I work with don't want a sales pitch. They want someone who understands their workflow, knows the equipment cold, and shows up when it matters. That's the bar."
— Jonathan L. McDermott

The standard.

Whether it's a single-handpiece order for a solo practitioner or a multi-location DSO fleet evaluation, the standard is the same: understand the workflow, sweat the details, deliver something the customer is proud of. That standard is why Jonathan's clients call him directly instead of going through HQ — and why they introduce him to their colleagues without prompting.

Three things worth knowing.

  1. i. He knows the product cold. Bien-Air's catalog spans hundreds of SKUs across electric handpieces, air handpieces, motors, systems, surgical, implantology, and accessories. Jonathan can talk torque curves, balance, prep efficiency, and chairside ROI without checking a spec sheet.
  2. ii. He shows up. Demos, installations, training, follow-ups. He's not the rep who closes the deal and disappears. He's the rep who knows your hygienist's name and remembers when you mentioned your kid starting college.
  3. iii. He'll tell you when not to buy. If a product isn't right for your workflow, he says so. If timing isn't right, he says that too. Trust compounds. Hard sells don't.

How Jonathan Works

The McDermott method.

Sales has a reputation problem — too many reps chase numbers, push products, and disappear after the deal. Jonathan plays a longer game. Here are the principles that guide every demo, install, and follow-up.

i.
Workflow first.
Before talking products, Jonathan watches how your team actually works — the handoffs, the bottlenecks, the operatory layout. The right Bien-Air solution depends on what fits your actual day, not what's in the catalog.
ii.
Demo, don't pitch.
A 10-minute hands-on demo says more than a 60-minute sales presentation. Jonathan brings equipment to your operatory and lets you feel the difference — torque, balance, sound, response.
iii.
Honest specs.
If a less expensive system serves you better, he says so. If a different configuration fits your case mix more cleanly, he'll recommend it. The goal is the right answer, not the biggest order.
iv.
Train your team.
A handpiece you don't know how to use is wasted money. Every installation includes hands-on training for doctors, hygienists, and dental assistants — plus the Bien-Air Academy resources for ongoing learning.
v.
Service stays close.
When equipment goes down, Jonathan's number is the one you call — not the 800 line. He coordinates loaners, repairs, and replacements personally. Your chair stays productive.
vi.
Follow up forever.
30 days after install, 90 days, a year later — Jonathan checks in to make sure the equipment is performing, your team is happy, and there's nothing he should know about. That's the relationship.

The longer game.

Most reps optimize for quarterly numbers. Jonathan optimizes for decades. A doctor who trusts him in 2026 sends three referrals in 2028, expands to a second location in 2030, and recommends Bien-Air to a colleague forming a DSO in 2032. Every conversation is an investment in the same network.

That's why his clients don't just buy from him — they introduce him to their colleagues, vouch for him at study clubs, and ask for him by name when expanding their practices.

If You Work With Jonathan

How an engagement unfolds.

Whether you're a solo practitioner exploring an upgrade or a DSO repping a fleet evaluation, here's what working with Jonathan actually looks like.

1
Day 1
Initial conversation
Call, email, LinkedIn, or text — Jonathan responds personally within one business day, often the same day. The first conversation is 20-30 minutes about your current setup, frustrations, and what you'd like to improve.
2
Week 1
In-office demo
Jonathan brings the relevant equipment to your operatory — handpieces, motors, or full systems depending on your interest. You feel the difference firsthand. Hands-on, not slides. Your hygienist and assistant join too.
3
Day Of Demo
Honest recommendation
After the demo, Jonathan walks through what would actually fit your workflow — including pricing, financing options, and timeline. If now isn't the right time, he says so. No pressure, no closing tricks.
4
Order & Install
Coordinated install
Order processing, financing (where applicable), shipment, and on-site installation — all coordinated by Jonathan. He's there for the install. Your team gets hands-on training. Your operatory is back online same day.
5
30 / 90 Days
Performance check-in
Jonathan checks in at 30 and 90 days. Equipment performing as expected? Team comfortable? Anything you'd want to add? This is where most reps disappear. Jonathan doesn't.
6
Ongoing
Lifecycle partnership
Maintenance supplies, sterilization consumables, replacement parts, eventual upgrades — Jonathan is your standing rep for everything Bien-Air across your practice's lifecycle. Promotions, new launches, education events — you hear about them first.
7
When Things Break
Direct line
If equipment ever needs service, Jonathan's number is the one you call. He handles the loaner coordination, the repair logistics, and the timeline — so your chair never stays empty waiting for an 800 line.
Track Record

What Jonathan has delivered.

A sales rep's real résumé is the practices they've helped build. Here's the kind of work Jonathan has been part of for dental practices across NY and NJ.

Full Operatory Upgrade · NY Metro
Brought a 3-chair practice fully electric.
A general dentist in Westchester was running 15-year-old air handpieces and losing real time per prep. Jonathan walked the practice through an electric conversion, coordinated phased installs to avoid downtime, and trained the entire team. The doctor reports 25% faster preps and significantly less hand fatigue at end of day.
Implant System · Long Island
Specced the right implant system for a growing surgical practice.
A periodontist was scaling up implant cases and needed to standardize across two locations. Jonathan walked through both economical console and ProImplant iPad-controlled options, demo'd in real surgical context, and helped the practice select the right configuration. Two-location standardization complete in 8 weeks.
Endo Specialty · NJ
Integrated endo workflow chairside.
An endodontic practice was using three different external boxes for their root canal workflow. Jonathan brought in Bien-Air's fully integrated chairside system — the high-speed CA NOVA for access plus the CA ENDO 4:1 micro head — and eliminated the operatory clutter. The endodontist's quote: "I should have done this five years ago."
Hygiene Department · Bergen County
Standardized prophy across 4 hygienists.
A busy family practice had four different hygienists each preferring different prophy handpieces — inconsistent training, inconsistent results, inconsistent service intervals. Jonathan brought in Bien-Air's prophy lineup, ran a comparison demo, and the hygienists collectively chose a standardized configuration. Consistency restored. Maintenance simplified.
DSO Evaluation · NY/NJ
Led a multi-location fleet evaluation.
A growing dental service organization needed to standardize equipment across 6 locations as part of a brand consolidation. Jonathan worked with their COO over 4 months — site visits, demos at each location, training plans, financing structure. Successful conversion across all locations with zero downtime.
Long-Term Account
A practice that has only ever used Jonathan.
One NY-based multi-specialty practice has used Jonathan exclusively for every Bien-Air purchase, training session, and maintenance order. Their quote when asked why: "He always picks up. He always knows what we have. He always tells us the truth." That's the relationship he builds, one practice at a time.

The pattern.

Look closely at Jonathan's wins and you'll see the same thread: understand the workflow, demo the right thing, install carefully, train thoroughly, follow up forever. He's not the rep you call when you need a quick quote. He's the rep you call when you're ready to upgrade something important.
