About DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.
About DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.
Dentsply Sirona's four reportable segments — Connected Technology Solutions, Essential Dental Solutions, Orthodontic and Implant Solutions, and Wellspect Healthcare — encompass products including CEREC same-day restoration systems, the SureSmile clear aligner platform, and dental implant and continence care lines sold in approximately 140 countries. Henry Schein, Inc. represented 13% of net sales in 2025, making it the largest single distributor in a network through which roughly two-thirds of dental products flow. The company plans to increase R&D investment from approximately 4% to 5% of net sales beginning in 2026.
Dentsply Sirona earns revenue across all four operating segments. Connected Technology Solutions sells imaging equipment, treatment centers, CAD/CAM systems — primarily CEREC, which enables same-day restorations — and Primescan 2 intraoral scanners integrating with the cloud-based DS Core platform. Essential Dental Solutions provides endodontic files, sealers, composites, and preventive products to dental professionals. Orthodontic and Implant Solutions covers the SureSmile clear aligner platform, digital implant systems, and prosthetics. Wellspect Healthcare sells urinary catheters and bowel management systems primarily to medical supply distributors. The company generates a substantial portion of revenue through a limited number of distributors and is actively diversifying its U.S. distributor base beginning in 2026. Certain raw materials are sourced from single-source suppliers under agreements subject to periodic renewal; disruption of those sources could interrupt manufacturing.

EU Medical Device Regulation compliance is a named, dated regulatory obligation: Dentsply Sirona completed quality management system certifications in 2024, but Class III and implantable Class IIb devices must achieve EU MDR certification by December 31, 2027 and non-implantable Class IIb and lower-risk devices by December 31, 2028. A simultaneous execution risk is the 2026 restructuring plan — expected to incur $55 million to $65 million in charges and generate approximately $120 million in annualized savings — running concurrently with a multi-year global ERP system implementation begun in 2023. Cost overruns or delays in either program could adversely affect results of operations.
