Excent

What Excent does

Excent Tandtechniek B.V. is a privately held dental technical laboratory group operating from 30+ locations across the Benelux (Netherlands and Belgium), headquartered in Reeuwijk, Netherlands. The company produces dental restorations (crowns, bridges, prosthetics, orthodontic appliances, and implant components) organized in a three-tier concept — Excellent (premium aesthetics), Classic (standard quality), and Select (cost-effective) — and serves primarily dental practitioners and orthodontists. Excent complements its laboratory production with clinical services delivered on-site at dental practices by Clinical Prosthesis Technicians (KPT'ers) and Clinical Restorative Technicians (KRT'ers), repair services, Philips Zoom home whitening, an orthodontic consumables webshop (Excent Supplies), and a training and certification business via Excent Academy and AirSmile Academy. The company has been part of Liberty Dental Group, a multi-country (Netherlands, Germany, Norway) dental laboratory conglomerate, since 2024.

The company's underlying technology is a digitized dental production stack: CAD/CAM design, a fully digital 3D print and milling center in Houten that manufactures semi-finished products for the distributed lab network, Carbon Digital Printing for the Flitz Prothese line, intra-oral scanner integration (including 3Shape TRIOS), and digital order forms interoperable with major Dutch/Belgian practice management software (Exquise, Novadent, Simplex, Tabdents, Robadent, Dentio, Visiquick). Proprietary branded offerings include AirSmile clear aligners (identified as the fastest-growing product), TrySmile visualization concept, the Injectietechniek (a digital wax-up and alternating injection mold technique for restoring bite height), and the Flitz Prothese digital prosthetic line.

Excent's business model combines one-time product sales (dental laboratory products, whitening kits), professional services (clinical on-site work, repairs, training/certification), and hardware sales (intra-oral scanners, Excent Supplies webshop), with pricing largely quote-based for laboratory work and fixed-price for training (€295 AirSmile certification, €475 PSM course, €49 AirSmile Advanced On Demand). The go-to-market is a B2B enterprise field-sales motion through the local laboratory network, supported by digital channels (Excent App, digital order forms), educational events (Excent Speaks), and long-term enterprise partnerships such as with TopMondzorg. The company is currently executing an active roll-up strategy — highlighted by the 2025 acquisition of Fresh and the June 1, 2026 transfer of Fluent Tandtechniek from TopMondzorg — to consolidate the fragmented Benelux dental laboratory market.

Direct peers

• Glidewell Dental: US-based dental laboratory and product manufacturer producing crowns, bridges, implants, and the BruxZir zirconia line. Directly comparable as a digitally advanced dental lab with proprietary materials brands and clinical education, though serving the US rather than Benelux market.
• National Dentex Labs (NDX): One of the largest US dental lab networks offering crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, and digital workflow services. Comparable to Excent as a multi-site dental lab network serving dental practices with a mix of traditional and digital production, though US-focused.

Broad incumbents

• Straumann Group: Global leader in dental implants, prosthetics, and clear aligners (ClearCorrect). Brand partner of Excent for implants and a broader incumbent with overlapping capabilities in implant abutments, CAD/CAM prosthetics, and aligner therapy.
• Envista Holdings: Danaher-spin-off dental products company owning Nobel Biocare, Ormco, and KaVo Kerr. Nobel Biocare is a brand partner of Excent for implants; Envista's portfolio overlaps with Excent's implantology and orthodontics segments at much larger scale.
• Modern Dental Group: Hong Kong-listed global dental prosthetic manufacturer and distributor with multi-lab operations across Europe, North America, and APAC. Highly comparable to Excent as a multi-site dental lab group producing crowns, bridges, dentures, and aligners, but operating at much larger global scale.
• Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment, consumables, and digital solutions manufacturer and lab supply distributor. A brand partner of Excent and a broader incumbent that supplies dental labs and competes indirectly via chairside CAD/CAM (CEREC) that can disintermediate external labs like Excent.

Others

• Ivoclar Vivadent: Liechtenstein-based dental materials manufacturer producing zirconia, lithium disilicate (e.max), and CAD/CAM blocks that compete with Excent's GlassCeram, FullZir, and GlassZir branded materials. A key upstream supplier and adjacent competitor in dental prosthetic materials.
• Henry Schein: Largest global distributor of dental supplies and equipment. Comparable as an ecosystem participant that supplies many of the same dental practices Excent serves, and an indirect competitor via its growing dental technology/services portfolio.

Regional players

• VITA Zahnfabrik: German dental prosthetic materials manufacturer producing zirconia, ceramics, and shade-matching systems used by dental labs. Regional peer with comparable focus on fixed prosthetics fabrication materials, operating primarily in DACH while Excent leads in Benelux.

Emerging players

• Align Technology: Manufacturer of the Invisalign clear aligner system and iTero intra-oral scanners. Directly competes with Excent's AirSmile aligner line and its intra-oral scanner distribution business; significantly larger and the dominant global clear-aligner brand.
