Dental Hologram

What Dental Hologram does

Dental Hologram is a French medical device startup incorporated on July 16, 2024 as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, near Grenoble, with €250,000 of registered share capital. The company is building navigation and augmented reality systems targeted at dental implantology, designed to give dental surgeons and implantologists continuous, real-time guidance during implant procedures alongside improved visualization of underlying anatomy. Its current operational scope is limited to Europe (France).

The platform is composed of three tightly integrated components: (1) a real-time navigation system that continuously tracks instrument and patient position during surgery against a preoperative plan, (2) an augmented reality overlay that projects 3D anatomical structures (nerves, bone volume, ideal implant trajectory) into the surgeon's field of view, and (3) AI-assisted intelligent planning that ingests CBCT data and optimizes implant positioning based on bone density and anatomical constraints. The stated value proposition centers on reduced margin for error, shorter procedure times, and improved outcomes for both dental surgeons and patients.

On the commercial side, Dental Hologram operates a sales-led, direct engagement go-to-market targeting dental practices, hospitals, and dental surgery centers, with revenue expected to come from hardware sales of the device. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is likely quote-based. The company is early-stage: it has 1–10 employees, no disclosed customers, no disclosed funding rounds, two minor partnerships (Haventure and MinMaxMedical), and is actively soliciting investor and partner conversations through an investor deck distributed via its website contact flow. Leadership comprises CEO Julien Lebreux, President Stéphane Lavallée, COO Benjamin Colas, and CTO Riaz Mir.

Core offering

Dental Hologram develops and commercializes a medical device platform for guided dental implant placement that combines real-time navigation of surgical instruments and patient position, an augmented reality overlay that visualizes 3D anatomical structures (nerves, bone volume, ideal implant trajectory) into the surgeon's view, and AI-assisted preoperative planning integrated with CBCT data to optimize implant positioning. The platform is sold as a navigation-and-AR system for dental surgeons and implantologists performing implant procedures.

Product overview

Dental Hologram offers a unified surgical navigation platform for dental implantology, combining three integrated components: a Real-time Navigation System for continuous instrument and patient tracking, an Augmented Reality Overlay for 3D visualization in the surgeon's field of view, and AI-Assisted Intelligent Planning for optimized preoperative positioning based on CBCT data, bone density, and anatomical constraints. The platform is designed for use by dental surgeons during implant procedures.

Products and services

• Real-time Navigation System for dental implantology A localization system that continuously tracks the position of surgical instruments and the patient during dental implant surgery, delivering real-time guidance aligned with the preoperative plan. Sold as part of the company's surgical-guidance medical device offering to dental surgeons and implantologists.
• Augmented Reality Overlay for dental implant surgery An AR visualization capability that overlays 3D anatomical structures — including nerves, bone volume and the ideal implant trajectory — into the surgeon's field of vision during dental implant procedures. Sold as part of the company's surgical-guidance medical device offering to dental surgeons and implantologists.
• AI-Assisted Intelligent Planning for dental implantology An AI-assisted preoperative planning module integrated with CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) imaging data that optimizes implant positioning based on bone density and anatomical constraints. Sold as part of the company's surgical-guidance medical device offering to dental surgeons and implantologists.

Broad incumbents

• 3Shape: 3Shape is a global dental digital workflow leader (intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM, TRIOS ecosystem) that overlaps with Dental Hologram on digital impression/scanning and treatment planning. Not a direct navigation competitor but a broad incumbent whose workflow tools could integrate with or compete against Dental Hologram's planning layer.
• Straumann Group: Straumann is one of the largest dental implant companies globally with a strong digital dentistry portfolio (guided surgery, intraoral scanning partners). Comparable as a broad incumbent that owns much of the implant value chain that Dental Hologram's navigation system sits adjacent to.
• Stryker (Mako): Stryker's Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery platform is the dominant surgical navigation/robotics franchise in orthopedics, with underlying real-time tracking and planning technology conceptually analogous to Dental Hologram's stack. Broad incumbent demonstrating the trajectory and economics of surgical-navigation platforms if Dental Hologram scales into other surgical verticals.
• Dentsply Sirona: Dentsply Sirona is a global dental equipment and digital dentistry incumbent offering implants, CAD/CAM, and imaging. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose installed base and integrated digital workflow could either partner with or squeeze Dental Hologram's navigation and AR positioning in dental practices.
• Philips Image-Guided Therapy (Azurion): Philips' Azurion platform is an image-guided therapy suite for interventional and surgical procedures with navigation and visualization capabilities. Broad incumbent comparable in technology (navigation + visualization) and category (image-guided surgery), though in hospital interventional rather than dental settings.

Direct peers

• ClaroNav (Navident): ClaroNav's Navident is one of the most established dental surgical navigation systems for implantology, providing real-time tracking comparable to Dental Hologram's core navigation pillar. Direct head-to-head competitor for the same dental implantologist buyer.
• Navident (dynamic navigation): Same company as ClaroNav above; included separately as many market reports reference the Navident brand directly. Direct dental navigation peer competing for the same surgeon buyer with an established FDA/CE-cleared installed base.
• X-Nav Technologies (X-Guide): X-Guide is a dental surgical navigation system that delivers real-time 3D guidance for implant placement, directly comparable to Dental Hologram's real-time navigation and AR overlay offering. Targets the same dental surgeons and implantologists.

Emerging players

• Brainlab: Brainlab is a surgical navigation and digital surgery platform with broad cranial/spine/ENT navigation. While not dental-specific, its surgical navigation IP, AR overlays, and hospital sales channels make it a comparable technology and partial competitor as the company expands into broader surgical visualization.
• Medivis: Medivis builds surgical AR visualization for clinicians, closely comparable to Dental Hologram's AR overlay pillar. Targets surgeons rather than dentists specifically but is a meaningful emerging player in surgical extended-reality guidance with overlapping technology.
