Our story

Swedish rootsRegional expertise
Shipped worldwide

Thirty years of Swedish standards, practiced by a team as international as the dentists we serve.

Our founder

Where innovationmeets tradition.

MDent was founded in Dubai in 1995 by Thomas Claesen, a dental technician trained in Stockholm. He brought with him a Swedish way of working: precise, practical and honest, with quality built into every step rather than checked at the end. Thirty years on, that approach still runs through everything we do, and Thomas is still in the lab every day, reviewing cases alongside the team.

What makes MDent different is how those Swedish standards meet the needs of this region. Our technicians come from many cultures, just like the patients our dentists treat.

The result is restorations made to Scandinavian standards and shaped by local understanding, backed by rigorous quality control and our warranty.

    Every colleague, dentist and culture is treated with dignity.
