Ultradent Products, Inc., is a leading developer of high-tech dental materials, devices, and instruments worldwide. Ultradent’s mission is to improve the level of dental health care and to make dental procedures more predictable and efficient. Consistent with its mission, Ultradent works to improve the quality of life and the health of individuals through financial and charitable programs. Ultradent evolved from a dentist’s quest to create more effective dental products. Dr. Dan Fischer's desire to develop more advanced dental products led him to create products that would set future industry standards. Today, Ultradent has subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia, China, and Japan, employing approximately 1,900 individuals and manufacturing and packaging more than 500 materials, devices, and instruments. While Ultradent has expanded into a worldwide company, the majority of its professional and skilled manufacturing positions have remained in the United States, providing jobs for a diverse community of Americans. Ultradent is committed to local production and is proud to be a USA manufacturer. Ultradent’s products are used worldwide by dentists, group practices, dental and veterinary labs, government agencies, and universities. Ultradent has continued its development efforts, holding dozens of patents and trademarks on unique products, materials, devices, and application techniques.
