Rethinking Dental,
The Story of Finndent
Made in Finland
Sustainable development is a crucial part of our company’s values and with the direction we are taking, we want to set an example for others to follow. Not only is our goal to be a fully carbon neutral company by 2025, but our mission is to provide locally produced, unique and ethical products that are made to last the entire career of a dental professional.
All our dental units are manufactured and assembled by hand in Finland, with all the components and other accessory items sourced from reliable supply chain partners. Keeping our production local allows us to track and have a clear overview of the origin of our products. A transparent production chain is crucial to ensure that local environmental standards and regulations have been followed. Finndent wants to carry its social and ecological responsibility as a company by producing its units in the most ethical way possible.
Our mission is to provide our customers with dental units that last the entire career of a dental professional. Every unit that we make is unique, with a fully customizable feature set, so that no customer of ours must compromise on their needs. Finndent is taking a step towards a circular economy-based technical cycle: we want our products to be repairable, reusable and recyclable.
Nordic Design Ideology
Nordic design is centered around functionality, resulting in beautiful, clean shapes, minimalistic silhouettes, and the use of long-lasting, quality materials. Nordic design ideology produces objects that are wellmade, authentic, and timeless by nature. We at Finndent focus on giving our customers the freedom to select the specific features of their dental unit and providing them with a carefully designed and crafted solution instead of a mass-produced object. For us it is important to translate our values through our design. Finndent’s dental units are for conscientious dental professionals who want to invest in the future.
