Company

Company overview

DENTSPLY SIRONA supplies dentists and dental laboratories with tools and materials for treating teeth, making restorations and replacing or straightening teeth. Dental products account for most revenue, with consumables for root-canal treatment, restoration and preventive care forming its largest business. It also sells equipment, implants and orthodontic products. CEREC helps dentists make ceramic restorations during a single visit, while the DS Core cloud platform connects digital workflows across its equipment and services.

Most dental products reach users through third-party distributors, although the company sells some products directly to dental professionals and laboratories. A limited group of distributors supplies a substantial share of revenue, with Henry Schein a major customer. Sales therefore depend not only on demand from dental practices but also on distributors’ orders, inventory levels and support for end users.

Its smaller Wellspect Healthcare business sells catheters and bowel-irrigation systems for people who need help managing bladder or bowel function, mainly through medical-supply distributors. Certain products require approvals, clearances or licenses from the FDA and other health authorities before the company can manufacture, market or distribute them.

Dental treatment demand and practice equipment spending drive DENTSPLY SIRONA’s results; Straumann is an important implant and orthodontic rival to watch beyond this list.

  • Envista competes with DENTSPLY SIRONA for dental professionals’ spending on implants, orthodontics, imaging, restorative materials and root-canal products. Its implant and orthodontic sales are worth watching for competition facing DENTSPLY SIRONA in those treatments.

  • DENTSPLY SIRONA relies on Henry Schein to buy and distribute its products to dental customers: Henry Schein accounted for 13% of its net sales in the year ended December 31, 2025. Watch Henry Schein’s dental merchandise and equipment sales, but it also sells competing implants, biomaterials and root-canal products.

  • Align Technology competes for dentists’ and dental laboratories’ spending with Invisalign aligners against DENTSPLY SIRONA’s SureSmile, and with iTero scanners and exocad software against its digital dental design and manufacturing workflows. Align’s clear-aligner sales offer a focused view of this rivalry: they made up approximately 80% of its worldwide net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2025.

  • Solventum competes with DENTSPLY SIRONA for dental customers’ spending on restorative materials, bonding agents and orthodontic products. Watch its Dental Solutions sales rather than total company sales: dental products accounted for only 16.2% of Solventum’s total sales in 2025.

    Fed Interest Rate Decision

    The Fed’s interest-rate decision matters to Dentsply Sirona because higher borrowing costs can raise interest expense on debt that reprices and leave less cash for dental products, equipment and operations.
