What Permanent does
Permadental is a German dental laboratory and digital dentistry solutions provider headquartered in 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands (Permadental B.V.) with primary operating base in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany, and a subsidiary in Cologne. Operating as part of Modern Dental Group, the company manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of dental prosthetics — including crowns, bridges, inlays, veneers (Forma, ZirNEER, OptiCrown), implant solutions (Forma Immediate, All-on-X, Digitek, Permaguide, TRI matrix), removable prosthetics (EVO fusion dentures, telescopic restorations) — alongside orthodontic aligners (TrioClear) and digital impressioning hardware (intraoral scanners from 3Shape, Medit, Shining 3D, and ELETRA, plus the RAYFace 3D facial scanner).
The technical backbone is a digital dental prosthetics workflow that combines IOS scanning, CAD/CAM design (including Exocad integration), and precision manufacturing, with AI-embedded features such as AI-powered shade matching via OptiShade/Matisse, AI-assisted facial scanning through RAYFace, and generative digital design proposals via permaView. Permadental holds 10 registered brand identities across product and service lines and operates the perma3D sub-brand for digital dentistry training.
The business model combines per-case dental prosthetics manufacturing (one-time per work order), hardware sales and support of intraoral scanners, recurring digital services (permaView design proposals, customer portal), and professional services revenue from training, certification tours, and large-scale symposiums such as the Portugal Symposium 2026. Go-to-market is hybrid: a regional field sales force targeting dental practices (the primary segment) and dental laboratories (secondary), paired with product-led growth via IOS scanner placement, event-driven acquisition through symposiums and certification tours, and content marketing through webinars, micro-learnings, podcasts, and case reports across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Pricing for lab services is quote-based (KVA) and not publicly disclosed; event pricing ranges from €145 for accompanying persons to €895-€1,195 per symposium ticket, with certification tours at €350-€450 per day or €700 for a 2-day package.
