DESCRIPTION

Dentsply Sirona is the world's largest manufacturer of professional dental products and equipment, selling to dentists, dental specialists, dental labs, and other healthcare professionals across roughly 140 countries. The company operates through four segments: Connected Technology Solutions (dental equipment including imaging systems, intraoral scanners, and CAD/CAM systems), Essential Dental Solutions (consumable products including endodontics, restoratives, and preventives), Orthodontic and Implant Solutions (clear aligners under the SureSmile brand, dental implants, and digital dentures), and Wellspect Healthcare (continence care products). Revenue comes from two broad streams: one-time capital equipment sales and recurring consumable purchases, with consumables generally carrying higher margins and tracking more closely with dental patient volumes. Roughly two-thirds of products are sold through third-party distributors, primarily Henry Schein and Patterson Companies. Dentsply Sirona's DS Core cloud platform connects its hardware and software into integrated digital workflows covering imaging, scanning, treatment planning, and lab orders, and is central to the company's long-term strategy to increase product stickiness and build switching costs. The company has faced several years of organic sales declines driven by macro-driven equipment weakness, implant commercial execution failures, the wind-down of its Byte direct-to-consumer aligner brand, and U.S. market softness. A new CEO appointed in mid-2025 has outlined a turnaround plan focused on rebuilding the U.S. commercial organization, deepening distributor and dental support organization relationships, and increasing R&D investment to accelerate innovation in digital workflows.
