What Avinent does
Avinent Implant System, S.L.U. (the operating entity of Avinent Group) is a Barcelona-headquartered, family-owned medical device company that designs, manufactures, and commercializes dental implant systems and adjacent digital dental solutions. Founded in 1958 as Vilardell Purtí — originally a precision machining operation serving automotive and aerospace — the company pivoted into the dental sector in 2006 with the launch of the Biomimetic CORAL implant and its proprietary BIOMIMETIC ADVANCED SURFACE technology. Today the company operates from a 28,000 m2 Industry 4.0 facility in Santpedor (Barcelona) with 300+ employees, and its product architecture spans five interlocking lines: dental implants (CORAL, ICEBERG, OCEAN, and the PEARL mini implant) together with prosthetic components; Avinent CAD CAM, a service bureau offering milling, sintering, and 3D printing in titanium and resin; Avinent CMF, custom cranio-maxillofacial implants and surgical guides using 3D-printed titanium; Avinent Orthodontics / Recode Aligners, custom clear-aligner therapy; and Digital Equipment, distribution of partner-brand scanners, printers, and milling machines (3Shape, Medit, NextDent, Roland, Formlabs, Shining 3D).
The underlying technology stack integrates proprietary surface chemistry (BIOMIMETIC ADVANCED SURFACE), in-house CAD CAM libraries, guided surgery systems, and 3D printing — tied together by the online CAD CAM and Orthodontics portals and supported through the Avinent Universe content platform (publications, clinical cases, webinars, training). The company holds a dense regulatory footprint — CE marking under MDR 2017/745, EN ISO 13485:2016, FDA 510(k), AEMPS, Catalonia Health Authority, Health Canada, TGA Australia, PMDA Japan, TFDA Taiwan, COFEPRIS Mexico, and INVIMA Colombia — and distributes through both direct field sales and an international distributor network in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, and Colombia, plus a self-service e-commerce storefront at shop.avinent.com.
Avinent makes money through a mix of hardware sales (implants, prosthetic components, aligners), professional services (CAD CAM milling, sintering, and 3D printing on behalf of dental laboratories and clinics), and equipment distribution. Pricing is largely quote-based on custom work, with fixed unit pricing on commodity prosthetic components in the online store (e.g., scanbodies at €35, implant analogs at €15, angled Ti bases at €40) and advertised volume discounts of up to 60% and a 5% online-store discount. Customers are primarily dental clinics and prosthetic laboratories, with hospitals and maxillofacial surgeons as a secondary segment for CMF; orthodontic practices are also addressed via the Recode aligner channel. The company reports 3.7% revenue growth and 4.1% workforce growth in 2024, consistent with a mid-sized, operationally mature implant business in a steady expansion phase.

Avinent competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Henry Schein: Large dental and medical distribution platform that supplies implants, prosthetic components, and digital equipment. Functions as both a competitor in branded products and a channel partner for many implant manufacturers.
- ZimVie (Zimmer Biomet Dental): Spun off from Zimmer Biomet, ZimVie operates a dental division offering implants and digital workflow solutions. Comparable to Avinent's implant and digital workflow stack, though at broader scale.
- Dentsply Sirona: Broad dental equipment and consumables incumbent covering implants, prosthetics, CAD CAM equipment (Cerec), and imaging. Overlaps Avinent's implant and CAD CAM service offerings but at significantly larger scale.
Direct peers
- Straumann Group: Global leader in dental implants and prosthetics, offering implant systems, abutments, and digital workflows. Directly comparable to Avinent across implant manufacturing, prosthetic components, and CAD CAM digital workflow.
- Align Technology: Maker of Invisalign clear aligners and iTero scanners — the dominant incumbent in clear aligners that Recode Aligners directly competes with, plus a digital scanning platform that overlaps with Avinent's CAD CAM workflow.
- Osstem Implant: South Korean dental implant manufacturer with global distribution and a broad implant portfolio plus digital dentistry solutions. Comparable mid-tier positioning to Avinent with similar multi-region expansion profile.
- BioHorizons (Henry Schein): Dental implant specialist owned by Henry Schein, offering Tapered Pro and other implant lines plus regenerative products. Closely comparable to Avinent's CORAL/OCEAN/ICEBERG implant ranges.
- Envista Holdings (Nobel Biocare): Holding company for Nobel Biocare, a direct dental implant competitor with comparable implant systems, prosthetic components, and digital workflow solutions including DTX Studio software.
- Neodent (Straumann Group): Brazilian-based dental implant manufacturer acquired by Straumann Group. Directly comparable to Avinent in mid-tier implant positioning, with similar product breadth across implant systems and prosthetic components.
- MIS Implants (subsidiary of Dentsply Sirona): Mid-tier dental implant manufacturer with comparable product portfolio to Avinent — implant systems, prosthetic components, and digital workflow. Now part of Dentsply Sirona, providing distribution scale advantages.
