MDH

What MDH does

MDH AG Mamisch Dental Health is a privately held German Aktiengesellschaft based in Mülheim an der Ruhr and serving dental practices across Germany. It functions as an international dental laboratory: German practices submit cases and MDH coordinates production of fixed, removable, combined and implant-supported dental prosthetics, splints and dental correction aligners at international facilities, while customer service, order processing, quality control and logistics coordination are handled from the German headquarters. Its customer base is dental practices rather than patients, although patient-facing programs, financing, discount cards and referrals are used to help practices convert treatment plans.

The operating model combines dental manufacturing capabilities with a digital workflow. The company describes a process using digital scanning, CAD/CAM design and digital manufacturing for nearly all prosthetic indications, supported by TÜV-certified master laboratories and triple quality control. Its customer portal enables dental practices to create cost estimates, place and track orders, upload documents, manage invoices and schedule pickups; ancillary offerings include intraoral scanners, an e-commerce shop for practice materials and demonstration models.

Revenue is generated primarily through transactional sales of dental prosthetic products and related laboratory services, with pricing varying by indication, material and complexity, plus one-time sales of auxiliary shop products. Go-to-market is direct and practice-focused, combining field sales and on-site service technicians, a toll-free service hotline and self-service portal access. Commercial terms include pay-as-you-go lab orders, 30-day payment terms with early-payment discount, a tiered new-customer discount and patient financing options.

Emerging players

• Zirkonzahn: South Tyrolean dental laboratory and CAD/CAM manufacturer specializing in zirconia prosthetics and digital workflows. Comparable as a European digital dental lab with international production serving practices globally, though at smaller scale than MDH AG.
• Amann Girrbach AG: Austrian dental CAD/CAM equipment and materials manufacturer serving dental labs and practices with digital prosthetic workflows. Comparable as a European dental technology provider in the digital workflow and prosthetic space, though more focused on lab equipment than finished prosthetics.

Broad incumbents

• Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment, technology, and consumables manufacturer with extensive prosthetic and CAD/CAM offerings. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving dental practices with overlapping prosthetic and digital workflow solutions, though at much larger scale and with a broader portfolio.
• Straumann Group: Swiss-headquartered global leader in dental implants and prosthetics, offering implant-supported restorations alongside a broad dental solutions portfolio. Comparable as a major incumbent player in implant-supported prosthetics — one of MDH AG's core product categories — though broader and globally diversified.
• Align Technology (Invisalign): Global leader in clear aligner orthodontics with the Invisalign system and iTero intraoral scanners. Comparable in the aligner and intraoral scanner categories where MDH AG also competes, though with much greater scale and brand recognition globally.

Others

• Henry Schein One: Global distributor of dental supplies, equipment, and practice management software serving dental practices worldwide. Comparable as a key distribution and supply ecosystem participant, though not a direct dental lab competitor.

Direct peers

• Glidewell Laboratories: One of the largest dental laboratories in the world, providing crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants to U.S. dental practices with vertically integrated digital manufacturing. Comparable as a high-volume, digitally-enabled dental lab with a similar business model serving dental practices at scale.
• Dental Direkt GmbH: German dental laboratory and CAD/CAM manufacturer specializing in zirconia and digital prosthetics. Directly comparable as a digitally-enabled German dental lab competing in the same crown, bridge, and implant prosthetic segments.
• Modern Dental Group: Hong Kong-listed global dental prosthetic manufacturer serving European and North American markets with crowns, bridges, and dentures produced at international facilities. Directly comparable as an international dental lab leveraging offshore production to compete on cost in Western European markets — effectively a global peer running a similar Auslandszahnersatz model.
• Flemming Dental Group: Flemming Dental is one of Germany's largest dental laboratory groups, offering crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant prosthetics to dental practices nationwide. Directly comparable as a German dental lab serving the same practice customer base with overlapping prosthetic product categories.
