For over 90 years, Dentatus has earned the respect from dental professionals and enjoyed a global reputation for developing and manufacturing devices that deliver unique solutions to the dental market. Dentatus produces a wide range of precision high tech dental products that are distributed through over 100 importers and dealers. Dentatus, founded in 1930 for the purpose of serving the then-emerging Scandinavian dental market, is renowned for its line of precision semi-adjustable articulators that are in continuous use in many universities and dental teaching facilities throughout the world. To an even greater extent the company is known for its preeminent posture of having introduced the first prefabricated posts used in dentistry shortly thereafter. The broad range of Dentatus Surtex surface-treated classic posts in titanium, stainless steel, and gold-plated continues to enjoy a dominant market position in many international markets and is recognized as the standard in dental practice. Presently, an expanded line consisting of Luminex light-transmitting posts and the more recently introduced fiberglass light-transmitting Luscent and Twin Luscent Anchors, largely used with aesthetic adhesive materials, satisfies the full range of needs in the broad spectrum of restorative procedures. Bernard Weissman, the founder and former owner of Whaledent International acquired Dentatus AB, located in Stockholm, Sweden in 1988. Dentatus USA, Ltd, located in New York, NY was founded in 1989 serving as a distribution center for all Dentatus products sold in North and South America. With the acquisition of Dentatus AB, the company expanded its marketing strategies and accelerated the development of products for the 21st century to satisfy dentistry's modern needs. Weissman's 18 most recent patented inventions, introduced incrementally into the market, provide Dentatus group with a continuous stream of innovative and proprietary products. Among these are the highly regarded Profin® Reciprocating Handpiece and the assorted line of Lamineer Tips®. All other products are used in the specialty fields of prosthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics.
