Dentalica

What Dentalica does

Dentalica S.p.A. is a privately-held Italian dental supplies distributor founded approximately in 1954 and headquartered at Via Rimini 22, Milano. The company operates a B2B e-commerce platform serving dental professionals — dentists, dental surgeons, and dental practice operators — across Italy, France, and Spain, with localized websites for each market. Its core offering is a multi-category procurement marketplace covering consumables (endodontics, prosthetics, prophylaxis, surgery, periodontics), disposable products (PPE, sterilization, syringes), dental equipment (handpieces, turbines, surgery and implantology consoles, endodontic motors, lasers, intraoral diagnostics), implantology systems (conical and hexagonal configurations), and big equipment (2D and 3D panoramic X-rays).

The platform is built on nopCommerce e-commerce technology and integrates standard marketing, analytics, and customer support tooling (HubSpot, Zendesk, Hotjar, Cookiebot). The product portfolio combines third-party distributed brands (PRECISION, CAVEX, EIGHTEETH, DMG, ANGELUS, ANTHOGYR, OWANDY, PALTOP, and others) with proprietary offerings such as the Precision Aligners clear aligner orthodontic system and the Helios 6X PRO intraoral scanner. Value-added services include extended warranty programs (Chrono Elite, EMD Flexy covering 2–4 years), a Repair Exchange program for handpieces and turbines, and a technical assistance center.

The business model is transaction-based B2B distribution with unit pricing, tiered pricing, and quote-based pricing for complex equipment and implant systems. Free shipping applies above a €200 order threshold, with 24/48-hour direct delivery and 30-day free returns. Payment options include bank transfer, credit card, and PayPal. The company markets through its own e-commerce storefront, phone and WhatsApp customer support, and professional courses and events for dental practitioners. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company are identified.
