About dental bauer
The company offers dental practices and dental labs an extensive range of dental products, consumables, equipment, and services. The assortment includes around 90,000 branded items including dental plaster, as well as treatment units, X-ray technology, CAD/CAM systems, and 3D printing, hygiene and prophylaxis devices. The classic dental trade is supplemented by the PLULINE private brand, a technical service with 170 service technicians, practice and lab planning with interior design, start-up consulting, further training, and practice and job exchanges. For stock items, delivery is made within 24 hours; material logistics were handled by the subsidiary GLS GmbH & Co KG in Kassel. The Pluradent Group, which emerged from the merger of Dental Depots Emil Huber (Karlsruhe), Neubauer Dental (Offenbach), and Deuker & Neubauer (Kassel) and is based in Offenbach am Main, was acquired by Dental Bauer in 2023 and has since operated as dental bauer.
