The ACE SOUTHERN Difference: Built by a Surgeon, for Surgeons

ACE SOUTHERN wasn’t built to serve everyone—we were built to serve you. Our mission has always been to support the surgical side of dentistry with products and services tailored to the needs of oral surgeons and periodontists.

Our commitment to surgical dentistry starts with our roots. In 1966, Dr. J. Edward Carchidi, a practicing oral surgeon, founded ACE Surgical Supply after becoming frustrated by the lack of surgical-specific products available to dental professionals. He envisioned a company that truly understood the needs of oral surgeons—because it was created by one.

That dedication to specialty care expanded when ACE Surgical combined forces with Southern Anesthesia & Surgical, a company founded by a pharmacist with a similar mission: to support practices with the products and services they rely on every day. Together, we’ve built ACE SOUTHERN—a partner that blends surgical expertise, pharmaceutical knowledge, and a shared passion for supporting patient care.

Now as part of Henry Schein, we’re combining our deep surgical expertise with world-class logistics to bring bone grafting materials, surgical instruments, and scale—bringing high-quality products and service to more practices across the country with the same personalized support we’ve always offered.

We specialize in the tools and products that matter most to oral surgeons. Our comprehensive portfolio is carefully curated to meet the precise needs of your practice, with a focus on quality, innovation, and reliability. Our portfolio includes:

Bone Regeneration Materials – Our regenerative portfolio supports a wide range of oral and periodontal procedures, offering dependable options for grafting and healing.

• Allografts: The alloOss® family includes mineralized, demineralized, and blend formulations available in particulate, putty, and block forms—ideal for creating a scaffold for new bone growth.
• Xenografts: NuOss® products provide a bovine-derived alternative that supports long-term volume maintenance and predictable integration.
• Membranes: Barrier membranes like conFORM®, perFORM®, RCM6®, and alloguide® GF are designed to maintain space, support cell exclusion, and aid in guided tissue or bone regeneration.
• Wound Healing: The RC line—RC Plug, RC Tape, and RC Foam—offers resorbable collagen-based options for protecting surgical sites and supporting soft tissue healing.

Surgical Instruments – Precision tools for extraction, periodontal procedures, and implantology, backed by trusted brands like Hu-Friedy, ACE, Nordent and Miltex.

Anesthesia & Sedation - From local anesthetics to IV sedation medications, we supply the pharmaceuticals oral surgeons rely on to manage pain and patient comfort. We also support compliance with tools like the e222 electronic ordering system and monthly Rx Alerts that keep you informed about controlled substance availability.

Diagnostic & Emergency Equipment – Critical tools like monitors to ensure patient safety during procedures.

Sterilization Solutions – Equipment and materials to maintain a safe, sterile clinical environment.

At ACE SOUTHERN, we are proud of our ongoing commitment to innovation and quality. We prioritize the highest standards in all our products. We also partner with leading organizations like the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and the American Association of Periodontology (AAP), ensuring we are always at the forefront of best practices and industry advancements.
