Long-lasting Instruments
We don’t believe in unsharpenable instruments. Our unique steel and meticulous manufacturing process ensure that our instruments last long. We also teach a simple method for resharpening to extend their life.
Reducing Plastic Waste
The dental industry is a significant contributor to plastic waste. We strive to reduce waste by promoting reusable instruments and teaching proper maintenance.
Local Production
99% of our products are produced in Switzerland, with over 80% of our suppliers located here, contributing to the local economy.
Hand-Finished Quality
We prefer to finish instruments by hand, ensuring unmatched sharpness and quality while reducing the environmental impact of machines.
Recycling and Training
We coordinate instrument recycling in Switzerland and offer training centers the opportunity to try out our teaching kits throughout Europe to minimize unnecessary purchases.
Minimally Invasive Protocols
We aim to provide the minimum number of instruments necessary for effective treatment protocols, reducing excess production and waste.
