Premier Lab

What Premier Lab does

Laboratoire Premier is a privately held French dental prosthetics laboratory founded in 1970 by Willy Farbiarz and currently led by his son Jeff Farbiarz. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies three core product categories to dental practitioners: removable prostheses (Prothèse Adjointe, including resin dentures, Stellite, Valplast, and specialty gutters), fixed prostheses (Prothèse Conjointe, including ceramic-metal and ceramic-ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, and monolithic zirconia restorations), and implant-based solutions (Implantologie, including custom abutments, personalized titanium or zirconia pillars, and surgical guides). Production is split between a French facility in Villiers-sur-Marne and an Asian facility, a structure intended to balance cost competitiveness with quality control.

The laboratory operates a B2B go-to-market targeting dental practitioners directly, supported by a mobile application that lets clinicians submit and track orders, and by native integration with the principal optical impression platforms (Medit, iTero, 3Shape, Carestream, Communicate, dnet). The technology stack is therefore a hybrid of conventional prosthetic fabrication and digital workflow tooling; the company emphasizes digital transition support, practitioner training, and personalized technical partnership as commercial levers.

Revenue is generated through quote-based pricing on fabricated prosthetics (no public price list) and supplemented by technical support, training, and digital transition assistance. The customer base is a long tail of French dental practices, served via direct sales with no disclosed anchor accounts, enterprise contracts, or external funding. The company maintains family ownership, an active recruitment page, and over 50 years of continuous operation, positioning itself as a stability-and-quality player rather than a venture-backed growth story.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• 3Shape: Intra-oral and lab scanner vendor whose TRIOS system Premier Lab is referenced on; included as a key platform partner and adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than a direct lab competitor.
• Align Technology (iTero): Maker of the iTero intra-oral scanner, one of Premier Lab's listed digital integration partners; relevant as an upstream enabler of the digital impression workflow that drives case volume to dental labs.

Broad incumbents

• Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment and materials manufacturer whose CEREC and inLab systems compete for in-office and lab-side digital prosthetic workflows; relevant as the dominant upstream player whose platforms Premier Lab's integrations route into.
• Institut Straumann (Straumann Group): Global leader in dental implants and prosthetic components; relevant because Premier Lab's implantology offering (custom abutments, surgical guides) sits in the same restorative workflow as Straumann's implant systems and abutment libraries.
• National Dentex (NDX): US network of full-service dental laboratories producing crowns, bridges, dentures and implant restorations; relevant because NDX represents the consolidated, multi-site dental lab model that mid-sized independent labs like Premier Lab compete against for group-practice and DSO contracts.
• Glidewell Laboratories: Largest US-based dental laboratory offering crowns, bridges, dentures and implant solutions with its own scanner and milling technology; comparable as a full-service dental lab competing for the same dentist relationships at a much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Modern Dental Group: Hong Kong-listed global dental prosthetic manufacturer with production across Asia, Europe and North America; the most direct comparability fit because of shared model of fabricating crowns, bridges, dentures and implant prosthetics with distributed production for cost efficiency.
• Core3dcentres: Specialist digital dental milling and prosthetic fabrication network operating across multiple countries; directly comparable in its focus on digitally-originated crown, bridge and implant cases and its inter-site production model.
• Trident Dental Laboratories: Mid-sized dental laboratory producing fixed and removable prosthetics for dentists; comparable product mix and customer base to Premier Lab, particularly on crown & bridge and denture fabrication.

Emerging players

• Zirkonzahn: Specialist in zirconia-based fixed prosthetics and CAD/CAM dental lab equipment; comparable in its emphasis on digitally-produced high-end crown and bridge work serving boutique dental practices.
