Mid-Continental Dental Supply

What Mid-Continental Dental Supply does

Mid-Continental Dental Supply Co. Ltd. is a family-owned Canadian dental product manufacturer headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, established in 1984. The company develops and distributes professional-strength denture and dental appliance cleaners under its flagship Renew brand, which launched in 1986 and is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026. Mid-Continental sells exclusively through dental professionals (denturists, dentists, and dental laboratories) in over 30 countries across 4 continents, never through retail or direct-to-consumer channels, with US distribution handled by American Tooth Industries and regional distributors across Japan, Benelux, UK & Ireland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Balkans, and South Africa.

The core product platform is built on a dissolvable powder formula that delivers sustained, uniform cleaning action versus localized effervescent tablet fizzing. Renew Denture Cleaner is compatible with all common prosthetic materials including acrylic, nylon (Valplast, TCS), chrome-cobalt frameworks, titanium clasps, and soft reline materials. Renew Ortho & Sport, launched in 2016, extends the formula to retainers, clear aligners, night guards, and sport guards, with an additional protective film property. Distribution is handled through regional distributors plus direct sales to Canadian dental professionals.

The business model relies on a tightly controlled B2B2C channel where dental professionals sell or dispense Renew to patients, generating an automatic recall touchpoint that supports practice building. The company bundles 50 free patient samples per case of Renew Denture Cleaner and 25 per case of Renew Ortho & Sport to drive patient replenishment. Ancillary services include custom clinic labels, dental professional website design (since 1997), a Vicinity-powered rewards program, patient financing for premium denture procedures, and J.A.D. denture baths. Products carry Health Canada, FDA, and CE Mark (MDR) certifications.
