Who are the top digital dentistry companies in Europe in 2026?
The three largest digital dentistry companies in Europe are Dentsply Sirona, Ivoclar and Amann Girrbach.
- Dentsply Sirona: the market leader, built on the CEREC chairside workflow and the top position in CAD/CAM devices.
- Ivoclar: the second-largest competitor and the leader in CAD/CAM materials, led by IPS e.max.
- Amann Girrbach: the third-largest player, strong in laboratory milling systems and zirconia materials.
The ranking reflects 2025 data from iData’s European report suite, which covers Germany, France, the U.K., Italy, Spain, Benelux, Scandinavia, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal.
Digital dentistry covers the CAD/CAM devices, materials, 3D printers, printing resins and design software used to plan and produce dental restorations from digital scans.
Why Dentsply Sirona leads the European digital dentistry market
Dentsply Sirona ranked first among digital dentistry companies in Europe in 2025, according to iData Research.
Its lead rests on the long-established CEREC workflow and a broad product ecosystem.
That ecosystem spans chairside CAD/CAM systems, milling units, intraoral scanners and integrated restorative workflows, with particular strength in clinical settings.
The company also held the top position in the European CAD/CAM device market.
In September 2025, at DS World Las Vegas, Dentsply Sirona marked 40 years of CEREC by unveiling a CEREC workflow on its DS Core cloud platform.
The new workflow gives dentists AI-powered margin and design proposals for crowns, inlays and onlays.
The company also introduced CEREC Primemill Lite, a compact two-motor milling unit, and previewed CEREC Go, an entry-level unit for composite and hybrid ceramic restorations.
In February 2026, German dental trade press reported the market launch of CEREC on DS Core alongside both new milling units.

What makes Ivoclar a top digital dentistry company in Europe
Ivoclar ranked second among digital dentistry companies in Europe in 2025, and iData Research identifies it as the leader in CAD/CAM materials.
Its position is supported by a strong restorative material portfolio, including IPS e.max, IPS Empress and Telio CAD.
On May 4, 2026, Ivoclar launched IPS e.max Zirconia, a new zirconium oxide for dental laboratories developed with input from customers worldwide.
The company says the material covers the full range of all-ceramic restorations, from thin veneers to wide-span bridges, which reduces inventory needs.
It also widened the list of mills validated for its materials, with vhf’s Z4 and E4 machines authorized for IPS e.max CAD from November 2025.
The zirconia launch fits a wider shift iData tracks toward multilayered, high-translucency zirconia, driven by demand for better aesthetics and durability.
Monolithic zirconia also has strong clinical backing, as a 2025 five-year retrospective study of 1,143 zirconia restorations found a 100% survival rate for monolithic restorations, compared with 95.8% for layered ones.

Why Amann Girrbach ranks among the top digital dentistry companies in Europe
Amann Girrbach was the third-largest digital dentistry competitor in Europe in 2025, according to iData Research.
The Austrian company is a leading competitor in both CAD/CAM devices and CAD/CAM materials, particularly in laboratory workflows.
It ranked third in CAD/CAM devices and second in CAD/CAM materials, behind Ivoclar.
Its Ceramill milling systems and Zolid zirconia portfolio let laboratories run an integrated equipment-and-material production workflow.
In May 2026, at the WID dental show in Vienna, Amann Girrbach presented two new products, the Zolid Lunaris zirconia and the Ceramill Motion Air milling machine.
The Ceramill Motion Air is a compact dry-milling unit built for both dentists and laboratories, with production monitoring through the Ceramill Go app.
In September 2026, the company added RFID-based tool management to the Motion Air.

Which companies lead each digital dentistry segment in Europe?
The top three digital dentistry companies in Europe lead two of the five product segments, as the 2025 iData Research segment leaders below show.
- CAD/CAM devices: Dentsply Sirona, followed by 3Shape and Amann Girrbach.
- CAD/CAM materials: Ivoclar, followed by Amann Girrbach and VITA Zahnfabrik.
- Dental 3D printers: 3D Systems, followed by Formlabs and Stratasys.
- Dental 3D printer materials: Formlabs, followed by SprintRay and BEGO.
- CAD/CAM software: 3Shape, followed by Align Technology and Follow-Me! Technology Group.
In July 2025, Nobel Biocare became an official distributor of 3Shape’s TRIOS intraoral scanners across European markets.
In September 2025, SprintRay acquired the dental product portfolio of EnvisionTEC from Desktop Health.

How big is the European digital dentistry market in 2026?
iData Research values the European digital dentistry market at approximately €1.5 billion in 2025, rising to nearly €2.2 billion by 2032 at a 6.4% CAGR.
CAD/CAM devices are the fastest-growing segment, as intraoral scanners and chairside systems spread into clinics where uptake was previously limited.
Dental 3D printer unit sales are forecast to rise from about 3,800 in 2025 to 7,000 by 2032, although European adoption remains more measured than in the U.S.
Growth is driven by chairside workflow adoption, demand for same-day restorations, laboratory consolidation, and the expansion of dental service organizations and pan-European consolidators.
AI is another force, with CAD/CAM software increasingly adding AI-assisted design, automated margin detection and restoration proposals.
A 2025 study in The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics found that an AI-equipped CAD system significantly reduced crown design time and produced uniform crowns regardless of the technician’s experience.
Pricing pressure is the main headwind, with average selling prices for dental 3D printers expected to keep falling as lower-cost systems spread.
