Dental materials and instruments manufacturer with expanding data and automation infrastructure
Ultradent manufactures over 500 dental products—consumables, devices, and instruments—distributed globally through dentists, labs, and government agencies. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Azure, SQL Server, Power BI, Azure DevOps) paired with Databricks and Oracle ERP, signaling a shift toward unified data pipelines and AI workflows. Active projects in data pipeline implementation, ML lifecycle, and CI/CD tooling, combined with pain points around automating manual processes and optimizing data delivery, indicate Ultradent is moving from legacy manufacturing operations toward data-driven decision-making.
Ultradent Products is a privately held dental equipment and materials manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in South Jordan, Utah. The company employs approximately 1,900 people across subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia, China, and Japan, though the majority of manufacturing remains in the United States. Ultradent's product portfolio spans restorative, endodontic, orthodontic, and hygiene categories, with dozens of patents covering unique materials and techniques. The company serves dentists, dental and veterinary labs, government agencies, and universities. Current hiring is concentrated in sales roles, with smaller teams in manufacturing, operations, and emerging data functions.
Ultradent's primary infrastructure is Microsoft-based: SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure DevOps, and Power BI. The company also uses Databricks for data pipelines, Oracle and SAP for ERP, Workday for HR, and engineering tools including Solidworks.
Current projects include data pipeline and AI lifecycle implementation, building ML pipelines, automating manual processes, CI/CD tool deployment, new product introductions, and continuous improvement via kaizen events and process optimization.
