What ProScan does

ProScan is a Belgian, second-generation family-owned dental distribution and digital dentistry services business headquartered in Zonhoven, Belgium, with a regional office in Urmond, Netherlands. Founded in 2002 by Walter Van Loo and Guy Mullens, the company holds exclusive Benelux distribution rights for at least ten international dental brands spanning implant systems (Southern Implants), overdenture attachments (Zest Dental Solutions Locator, Medealis Docklocs), surgical instrumentation (Versah Densah Burs), digital scan components (Elos Accurate), abutments (Bonecare TSA), 3D digitizing and printing hardware (Shining 3D), CAD/CAM software (Exocad), biomaterials (Graphenano Dental G-Cam), diagnostic devices (Kube Innovation Innobyte), and prosthetic components (DESS Dental).

The company serves dental professionals — dentists, implantologists, dental technicians, and lab technicians — across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg through a sales-led, dentician-staffed GTM. Distribution is executed via a dedicated webshop (shop.proscan.be), direct field sales with regionally assigned dentician-advisors, recurring training workshops with key opinion leaders, and the MyIntellident digital request platform for custom digital design. ProScan operates an integrated dual revenue model: one-time sales of distributed dental components, instruments, hardware, and software, plus professional services revenue from custom CAD/CAM design and manufacturing through its Intellident service brand, which uses Exocad with proprietary implant databases, Shining 3D scanning, and Kuraray Katana zirconium materials.

Commercially, ProScan operates as a B2B distributor with non-public, quote-based pricing accessed via a login-gated webshop and direct sales contact, targeting a horizontal customer base with no disclosed anchor accounts. The company's strategic emphasis is on a universal, multi-brand portfolio that allows dental professionals to standardize workflows across implant platforms while receiving independent, brand-agnostic clinical advice from practicing denticians — positioning ProScan as a workflow-and-advisor partner rather than a single-brand reseller.

Broad incumbents

• Dentsply Sirona: Global dental equipment, implants, and consumables manufacturer and distributor with a broad CAD/CAM, implant, and orthodontic product portfolio. Comparable as a major supplier and competitor in many of the same product categories (implants, abutments, digital workflow hardware/software) that ProScan distributes and supports in Benelux.
• Ivoclar Vivadent: Global dental materials, restorative, and prosthetic product manufacturer covering composites, ceramics, and CAD/CAM blocks. Comparable as a major supplier-adjacent player in the dental materials category that competes with Graphenano G-Cam and other restorative materials distributed by ProScan.
• Straumann Group: World-leading dental implant manufacturer (Straumann, Neodent, Medentika) distributing globally through its own sales channels and partners. Comparable as both a potential competitor for implant distribution and a peer-like supplier whose products and pricing shape the economics for distributors like ProScan.
• Envista Holdings (Nobel Biocare): Global dental implant and orthodontic products group (Nobel Biocare, Spark, Ormco) distributing through direct and partner channels. Comparable as a major implant manufacturer whose products compete with Southern Implants and other distributed brands in ProScan's portfolio for clinical share in Benelux implantology.
• Henry Schein: Global Fortune 500 dental and medical distribution leader serving practices, clinics, and labs with equipment, consumables, and technology. Comparable as a multi-brand dental distributor, though operating at vastly greater scale and with a much broader product portfolio than ProScan's implantology-focused Benelux footprint.

Regional players

• Pluradent: Germany-headquartered dental equipment and supplies distributor serving the DACH region with a broad multi-brand portfolio and strong technical service offering. Comparable to ProScan as a regional European dental distributor with a multi-brand, technical-support-led GTM motion — a credible competitor for premium brand exclusivities in neighboring geographies.

Direct peers

• Dental Direkt: German manufacturer and distributor of dental prosthetics, CAD/CAM materials, and digital workflow products. Comparable to ProScan as a European dental products company combining proprietary products with distribution of leading implant/prosthetic brands, and overlapping in CAD/CAM and zirconia material categories.
• Glidewell Dental: US-based dental lab and product distributor offering custom prosthetic manufacturing and digital workflow solutions alongside a broad implant and restorative product range. Comparable to ProScan as it combines distribution of leading brands with in-house digital design and milling services — similar in concept to ProScan plus its Intellident subsidiary.
• Modern Dental Group: Global distributor and manufacturer of dental prosthetic devices (crowns, bridges, aligners) serving dentists and labs in multiple geographies. Comparable as a vertically integrated dental products and custom prosthetic services provider with a similar distribution-plus-services business model to ProScan/Intellident.

Emerging players

• Amann Girrbach: Austrian-headquartered dental CAD/CAM equipment and material manufacturer offering scanners, milling machines, and zirconia products. Comparable to ProScan as a supplier-partner in the digital dental workflow space whose products (alongside Exocad, Shining 3D) sit at the center of ProScan's Intellident service offering.
