140 Years Young: How Dentaurum Is Building the Future of Dentistry

Some companies talk about innovation. Dentaurum has been proving it for 140 years.

From its headquarters in Ispringen, Germany, on the edge of the northern Black Forest, Dentaurum continues to live its promise of 'Engineered and made in Germany'. What began in 1886 has grown into one of the world’s most respected dental manufacturers — trusted by orthodontic clinics and dental laboratories across Australia and beyond.

With more than 8,500 precision-engineered products spanning orthodontics, prosthetics and ceramics, Dentaurum doesn’t just follow industry standards — it helps define them.

A Bold Move in Uncertain Times: 30% More Capacity by 2026

While many manufacturers are playing it safe, Dentaurum is doing the opposite.

In 2026, Dentaurum will expand its production and office capacity by 30% — a decisive investment in people, technology and long-term partnerships. It’s a clear signal to dental professionals worldwide: Dentaurum is here for the long haul.

For Australian clinics and labs, this expansion delivers real-world benefits:

• Increased production capacity to support global demand

• Greater supply confidence and continuity

• Continued focus on precision, consistency and quality control

This growth includes new, state-of-the-art production and office spaces, alongside the careful renovation of existing buildings — ensuring Dentaurum’s heritage evolves, rather than being replaced.

Engineering You Can See: The Dentaurum Skywalk

One of the most striking symbols of Dentaurum’s expansion is the Dentaurum Skywalk — a concrete bridge physically linking the company’s past and future.

In a remarkable feat of German engineering, three prefabricated concrete elements — weighing 75 tonnes and stretching 31 metres — were installed with pinpoint precision in just two hours. It’s more than infrastructure. It’s a statement: progress doesn’t mean abandoning where you came from.

Growth With Purpose: Sustainable by Design

Dentaurum’s expansion isn’t just bigger — it’s smarter.

Sustainability has been built into every stage of the Ispringen development, including:

• Green roofs that improve energy efficiency

• Photovoltaic systems generating renewable power

• Rainwater utilisation systems reducing environmental impact

This approach reinforces Dentaurum’s commitment to German-based manufacturing, while ensuring responsible, future-ready production for partners worldwide.

Let’s Celebrate: 140 Years of Dental History

In 2026, Dentaurum proudly celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 140 years in the dental industry. For generations, dentists, orthodontists and dental technicians have relied on Dentaurum for products defined by precision, reliability and thoughtful design. The anniversary theme “Let’s Celebrate” captures more than a moment in time — it reflects a mindset.

Because at Dentaurum, experience isn’t about looking back. It’s about using everything learned to push forward.
