What Palodex does
Palodex, doing business as DEXIS, is a dental imaging company that designs, manufactures, and distributes a connected digital ecosystem for dental practices and laboratories worldwide. The company's product portfolio spans intraoral X-ray hardware (NOMAD Pro 2, FOCUS, DIGORA Optime, IXS and Ti2 sensors), intraoral scanners (Imprevo, IS 3800W, IS 3800, IS Voyager), extraoral CBCT imaging systems (ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D series, i-CAT FLX V-Series), and a software suite anchored by the DTX Studio Clinic platform, which integrates 2D and 3D imaging, intraoral scanning, diagnostics, and treatment planning into a single AI-assisted workflow. The company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Envista Holdings (NYSE: ENV), acquired in 2020, and consolidates multiple heritage brands (NOMAD, i-CAT, ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH, IS 3800 series) under the unified DEXIS brand.
The company reports 1,300 global employees and claims 165,000+ solutions installed worldwide, served through a combination of direct enterprise field sales and an authorized dealer network with regional coverage across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific (17+ countries). Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (capital equipment with multi-year contracts, quote-based pricing) and recurring software subscriptions (DTX Studio Clinic, IS ScanFlow, and related modules), supplemented by warranty programs (DEXIS Complete) and education services (DEXIS Academy). Strategic partnerships with Nobel Biocare (implant planning integration) and an integrated dental lab network (IS Connect) extend the platform downstream into implantology and dental laboratory workflows.
The platform's differentiation is the consolidation of fragmented dental technology into one workflow: customers cite the elimination of switching between multiple software programs, integrated CBCT-guided diagnosis, AI-assisted scan refinement, and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee as primary value drivers. Backed by Envista's distribution and capital, DEXIS competes primarily with other dental imaging and intraoral scanning OEMs (Align iTero, 3Shape, Dentsply Sirona, Planmeca, Vatech) across hardware, software, and increasingly AI-enabled workflow integration.

Palodex competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Dentsply Sirona: Largest pure-play dental equipment manufacturer; directly competes with DEXIS across intraoral X-ray (Schick), CBCT, intraoral scanning (CEREC Primescan), and integrated CAD/CAM workflow software — the most direct end-to-end competitor to the DEXIS ecosystem.
- Align Technology (iTero): Manufacturer of the iTero intraoral scanner, the dominant scanner brand in the orthodontic and restorative segment; competes head-to-head with DEXIS Imprevo, IS 3800W, and IS ScanFlow in dental practices.
- 3Shape: Denmark-based intraoral scanner (Trios) and dental CAD/CAM software vendor; directly competes with DEXIS on intraoral scanning hardware and workflow software used by dental practices and labs.
- Planmeca: Finnish dental equipment manufacturer offering CBCT/extraoral imaging (ProMax), intraoral X-ray, and integrated dental software — the most direct Nordic regional competitor with overlapping product categories and shared geography (Finland).
- Carestream Dental: Provider of dental imaging hardware (CS 3700 intraoral scanner, CS 8100/8200 CBCT) and practice management software; directly comparable in scope of imaging portfolio and software ecosystem.
- VATECH: Korean dental imaging specialist (PaX-i, Green X, EzScan) competing primarily in CBCT, panoramic, and intraoral imaging — overlapping product categories at typically lower price points.
