Laboratoire LDA

What Laboratoire LDA does

Laboratoire LDA is a French dental prosthetic laboratory founded in 1967, headquartered in Villiers-sur-Marne at the gates of Paris, operating a 600+ m² production facility with 70 employees and 100% French manufacturing. The laboratory manufactures the full spectrum of dental prostheses — fixed prosthetics (Conjointe-Implantologie) including crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations; removable prosthetics (Adjointe) including complete and partial dentures; orthodontic devices (Orthodontie-ODF); and a digital CAD/CAM line (Numérique-CFAO) using E.max lithium disilicate and Katana UTML zirconia materials on equipment from IMETRIC, NOBEL BIOCAD, 3SHAPE, MEDIT, IMES, OPERA, WIELAND, 3D Systems, and TRUMPF. The lab also operates the WOW intra-oral scanner integration with Biotech Dental, an EasyChir guided surgery service, and a Design Center that outsources 3D modeling to other practices and labs.

The business model is B2B and sales-led, serving dental practitioners (surgeons-dentists) and orthodontists primarily across Île-de-France, with digital file exchange extending reach nationally. Revenue is generated through per-unit pricing on made-to-order prosthetics with a 95% one-week standard turnaround and a 24-hour express tier, supplemented by courier collection/delivery six days per week. Complementary revenue streams include same-day immediate loading in Île-de-France, surgical planning subscriptions, intra-oral scanner integration support, and outsourced CAD design. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed beyond a 2020 tariff PDF. The laboratory operates as part of Groupe epro alongside Laboratoire Premier, is EU Directive 93/42 CEE compliant, and holds reference-laboratory status with multiple OEMs including Biotech Dental, SIMEDA, PROCERA, Denteo, 3Shape, and Ivoclar Vivadent, plus integrations with Smilers invisible aligners and Circle's Lucy AI for treatment planning.

Others

• 3Shape: Danish developer of TRIOS intra-oral scanners and dental CAD software. Technology partner and equipment supplier used by LDA; relevant peer on digital workflow design and scanner ecosystem rather than as a competing laboratory.
• Ivoclar Vivadent: Liechtenstein-based manufacturer of dental materials and equipment (IPS e.max, zirconia, ceramics). LDA is an authorized producer of Ivoclar materials, making Ivoclar a closely linked technology partner and indirect channel rather than a direct lab competitor.
• Biotech Dental: French dental equipment and intra-oral scanner (WOW) manufacturer. Strategic partner of LDA, which acts as reference lab and training partner for WOW digital impressions - so adjacent ecosystem/technology vendor rather than direct lab competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Institut Straumann / Straumann Group: Swiss dental implant and prosthetic solutions manufacturer. Compares on implant-supported prosthetics, CAD/CAM abutments and digital restoration workflows that LDA also delivers to French practitioners.
• Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment, consumables and digital solutions provider (CEREC CAD/CAM, inLab). Overlapping CAD/CAM, intra-oral scanning and prosthetic materials footprint, with the inLab workflow specifically competitive with LDA's CAD outsourcing model.
• Modern Dental Group: Large, listed dental prosthetic manufacturer and distributor with operations across Asia, Europe and North America. Compares on end-product (custom crowns, bridges, aligners) and B2B dental practitioner channel, but at vastly greater scale than LDA.
• National Dentex Corporation: US network of full-service dental laboratories producing crowns, bridges, dentures and implant prosthetics for dentists. Direct competitor business model (B2B custom prosthetics lab) at materially larger scale.
• Glidewell Dental: US-headquartered, vertically integrated dental lab and materials producer serving practitioners with crowns, bridges, implants and digital workflows. Comparable outsourced-manufacturing model and chairside digital integration story.

Direct peers

• Laboratoire Premier: French dental prosthesis laboratory operating under the same parent Groupe epro (linked from epro-group.com alongside Laboratoire LDA). Direct sister-lab peer offering comparable fixed, removable and implant prosthetic services in France.

Emerging players

• Zfx (Zimmer Biomet Dental): Provider of digital prosthetic solutions including CAD/CAM milled implant bars and zirconia restorations. Comparable digital, file-based production model serving dental laboratories and clinicians across Europe.
