Planmeca.

Planmeca's company page says Heikki Kyostila founded Planmeca Oy in Helsinki in 1971. It started with dental stools and instrument cabinets, then added patient chairs and dental units, and later 2D and 3D imaging, CAD/CAM, and software. The page says products are distributed in more than 120 countries, that the group had over 4,300 employees, and that combined turnover was 1.24 billion euros in 2025. It also says Planmeca is the largest privately owned dental-equipment company. That scale language is the company's.

The same page dates the first patient chair to 1977 and the first dental unit to 1979. It dates a microprocessor-controlled chair to 1983 and a microprocessor-controlled panoramic unit to 1986, and says the first subsidiaries opened in the United States, Italy, and Sweden in the 1980s. A 2021 company article says Kyostila showed a stool and cabinet at IDS in Munich in 1971, hired a first engineer in 1975, founded the Plandent supply business in 1972, and founded Planmed for medical imaging in 1987. The article's older headcount and turnover are not the 2025 figures on the company page.

The company page says 2011 imaging work combined a CBCT image, a 3D face photo, and a model scan in one unit, and that Planmeca Romexis software brought 2D imaging, 3D imaging, and CAD/CAM onto one platform in 2015. Those combination claims are Planmeca's. A panoramic unit, a CBCT, a treatment unit, and a mill are still separate devices unless the quote lists each one.

Design and manufacture are described as being in Helsinki. The Wikipedia summary is not needed for the address: the company page says the headquarters are in Helsinki. Ask the dealer for the showroom that covers your country, because the Helsinki plant is not a local install crew. The 2021 article says a university equipment delivery to the dental faculty in Helsinki began the school's collaboration, and that the group later counted dental schools among its customers. That history does not set the voltage or the delivery handedness of the unit on your quote. Confirm power, imaging options, and who installs the unit before you schedule the room.

Planmeca suits a clinic that wants a treatment unit, imaging, or a mill from the Helsinki manufacturer and will network them in the company's software. Chairs and delivery are on the chair guide and the delivery system guide.

Imaging and scanners are separate comparisons. See the CBCT guide, the panoramic guide, and the intraoral scanner guide.

The 1970s products were stools, cabinets, a chair, and a unit. Imaging came in the 1980s. CAD/CAM is later. Buying one generation does not include the others.

Mills are compared on the milling machine guide. Lights are on the operatory light guide. Intraoral X-ray heads, if that is the purchase, are on the intraoral X-ray guide.

The company page places headquarters in Helsinki and distribution in more than 120 countries. Ask which subsidiary installs and which one stocks parts.

Plandent, founded in 1972 according to the 2021 article, is a supply business in the group. A Plandent invoice is distribution. A Planmeca unit is the manufacturer's equipment. Read the seller name.
