Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., a leading force in dental materials and technology, has been at the forefront of advancing oral health through innovation. Formed from the merger of Kuraray Medical Inc. and Noritake Dental Supply Co., Ltd., the company specializes in a wide range of dental products, including bonding agents, fillings, cements, porcelains, zirconia, and CAD/CAM blocks. This merger has empowered the company to push the boundaries of dental science.
President Satoshi Yamaguchi emphasizes the company’s core focus: “Our products prioritize strength, aesthetics, and speed. By developing our own zirconia powder and collaborating with CAD/CAM system manufacturers, we deliver high-quality, durable, and efficient dental solutions.” This philosophy is exemplified in their flagship KATANA™ Zirconia Block, celebrated for both its durability and aesthetic qualities.
In addition to its current success, Kuraray Noritake Dental is dedicated to future advancements, particularly in creating bioactive materials for long-term, predictable dental treatments.
The company’s reach is not limited to developed markets like the U.S. and Europe. “Understanding local treatment conditions is crucial,” Yamaguchi explains. “Our offices in countries like Brazil and China allow us to adapt our products to meet regional needs.” This global presence ensures Kuraray Noritake Dental remains at the cutting edge of dental technology, tailoring its innovations to diverse market demands.
Looking forward, Yamaguchi envisions Kuraray Noritake Dental becoming more than just a tech innovator. “In five years, I hope we are recognized not only for our technology but as a holistic provider of oral care solutions,” he says. The company’s commitment to reducing “invisible stress” for both dental professionals and patients reflects its broader goal of enhancing global oral health and well-being.
