Creating smiles that transform lives

People are central to our business, be it our employees, customers, or the communities where we live and work. Every day we seek to enhance people’s lives through the delivery of improved and accessible oral health care.

We understand this starts with looking after our employees and we strive to bring out the best in them by creating an inclusive and respectful workplace alongside a culture that fosters learning and growth.

At Dentsply Sirona, we believe that a smile can transform lives. Through impactful partnerships, advanced education programmes, and innovative dental solutions, we strive to enhance oral health and empower communities worldwide. Our commitment is demonstrated by our goal to enable 25 million smiles by 2025 — a mission well underway, with more than 22 million smiles already empowered since 2021.

Our Healthy Smiles sustainability actions are aligned with the following UN SDGs: "3: Good health and well-being", "4: Quality education", 5: Gender equality", "8: Decent work and economic growth", "9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure", "10: Reduced inequalities", "12: Responsible consumption and production", and "17: Parternships for the goals".
