Xpedent

What Xpedent does

Xpedent is a privately held dental products manufacturer founded in 2005, headquartered in Lustenau, Austria, with a UK registered office in Hove, East Sussex. The company designs, manufactures, and sells precision dental optical and surgical equipment, organized into three product lines: dental surgical microscopes (OralOptix Prime and VIRO), dental loupes (Carbon X, Carbon X FlexMag, and CarbonFore Galilean), and ultrasonic tips compatible with scaler and surgery machines from all leading brands. Core technology centers on German Schott optics, proprietary mechanical systems such as the Continuous Lens System and the VIRO Integrated Optical Rotation System, built-in 4K Ultra-HD imaging modules with HDMI output, and carbon fiber frame construction. Xpedent operates its own dedicated precision engineering manufacturing facility, an unusual asset for a sub-50 employee firm that enables quality control and custom production work for international brand owners and distributors.

The company's revenue model is exclusively hardware sales, with no disclosed subscription, software, or service revenue streams. It reaches customers through a multi-channel model combining a direct e-commerce web shop on xpedent.com for individual practitioners, a B2B sales motion via a contact form targeting larger accounts, and a distributor-led channel for international markets. Customer segments are practicing dentists and dental surgeons (primary) and dental product distributors and resellers (secondary), serving use cases including endodontic, periodontal, scaling, cavity preparation, implant cleaning, and surgical procedures. The company is owned by British owners, operates two legal entities (Xpedent Austria GmbH and Xpedent UK Ltd), and maintains regulatory representation in Austria, the UK, and Switzerland to support compliant distribution across European markets.
