About DOCERAM Medical Ceramics
DOCERAM Medical Ceramics GmbH, based in Dortmund, develops and produces zirconia components and dental CAD/CAM materials for dental laboratories and milling centers. Under the Nacera® brand, the company offers zirconia blanks and product lines such as Nacera Pearl Shaded and Nacera Pearl Natural, which combine high flexural strength (up to 1200 MPa) with high translucency and esthetics. The portfolio also includes process optimization products for zirconia machining, including sintering aids, furnace cleaners, staining solutions and diamond polishing pastes for finalizing fully monolithic restorations. Manufacturing takes place in Dortmund according to in-house developed production and testing methods; the products are distributed worldwide. Since 2022, the company has belonged to Dental Direkt GmbH, supported by HANNOVER Finanz as equity partner; production of the multilayer zirconia Nacera Pearl Natural is to be integrated into Dental Direkt's automated production processes.
