ALS Dental

What ALS Dental does

ALS Dental is a UK-based dental manufacturing group headquartered in London, founded in 2019 and wholly owned by private equity firm Ansor LLP. The company produces a broad portfolio of dental prosthetics and devices including crowns and bridges (Kiori Crown), dental implants (Kiori Implants and the Kiori ArchX full-arch solution), digital dentures (Dentuvo, including a premium Dentuvo Platinum tier), orthodontic clear aligners (RISIO), and surgical guides (SurgiStent). It serves primarily UK dental laboratories and dental practices, with secondary exposure to end patients via consumer offerings such as retainers and whitening kits.

Underlying production is built on digital dentistry workflows that combine intra-oral scanning, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and robotics, displacing traditional hand-crafted laboratory methods. Supporting infrastructure includes the Elevate laboratory management system that connects dental practices to partner laboratories, and the ALS Academy, which delivers online courses, apprenticeships, and events (including a partnership with mydentist) to train dental professionals on the company's products and digital workflows.

ALS Dental generates revenue primarily through direct B2B sales of its manufactured products to UK dental laboratories and dental practices via an in-house sales team, supplemented by a B2C e-commerce shop for whitening products, accessories, and retainers. Growth is driven by acquisitions of independent dental laboratories and organic product expansion across categories, with Ansor LLP's stated objective of building a large UK dental manufacturing platform and subsequently entering international markets.
