Dental Health Management Solutions, Inc. (DHMS) was founded in 2003 by Jennifer and Shane Stevens. DHMS is a management company, which provides the staff, equipment, practice expertise and access to facilities, enabling dentists to provide dental services to our customers.  Today, DHMS brings dental solutions directly to a variety of sectors where the need is high, but the access is low, such as military readiness events, government agencies like prison systems, and senior care facilities. 

In 2007, DHMS conducted portable digital panoramic x-ray events for every branch in the U.S. military, in all 50 states. The goal was to digitize dental records for the service members, so that x-rays would not be so easily lost.  

Following the success of DHMS, the Stevens were faced with a new business opportunity. After successfully transitioning all U.S. military active duty and reserve’s dental records to a digital format, DHMS’s services were no longer needed. DHMS was left with 72 used digital panoramic x-ray machines that no one was interested in purchasing because at the time, it was thought that after moving a dental x-ray machine, it was not possible to use them again. With DHMS’s experience as the first in the industry to recertify dental x-ray units so that they could be used after transporting them, Capital Dental Equipment was formed.  

Capital Dental Equipment (formerly Capital Dental Solutions of Texas) was founded in 2010, by CEO Shane Stevens, with a mission to provide modern dental and medical professionals with high-quality recertified digital dental x-ray units. Because these units were recertified, CDE was able to offer dental practices an excellent value for the best, gently used diagnostic equipment.
