Our story

Born at the bench, grown digital

Dentra was started by a dental lab that has been working since 1979. That lab is still a lab, and is today the first of our partners: Dentra is the platform that does the digital design.

The idea for Dentra was born inside a dental lab, by people who worked at the bench. Dentra is the platform: we digitally design crowns, bridges, Toronto Bridges and full-arch rehabilitations, and deliver production-ready files. We design, you — or your lab — produce.

A story spanning over forty years

From wax-up to CAD, without losing the craft

Three generations of work, one common thread: precision. What in the 1970s was done with wax and brush, today we design on a computer — with the same clinical care.

1979

The lab

Alessandro Marco Centofante opens a dental lab near Vicenza, which for decades stands out in traditional prosthetics: wax-up, modelling, ceramics and hand finishing.

2017

The digital turn

Andrea Centofante — a second-generation dental technician — relaunches the company with a fully digital approach: advanced CAD design and a complete digital workflow. An app is born to manage orders, work status and e-invoicing.

Today

Dentra

A platform with a network of technicians specialised in digital design. Every case is handled by real professionals, every Toronto Bridge discussed clinically before it is designed. The lab it all started from still produces, as the first of our partner labs.

What we are today

A digital design studio

We no longer produce in your place: we design. We receive the intraoral scans and turn them into production-ready design files — whether you mill them, your lab does, or whoever you prefer.

See how we work

Precise CAD design

Crowns, bridges, fixed prosthetics, full-arch and immediate loads. Parameters suited to the chosen material and traceable specs, for patient safety.

An app that tracks it all

Upload the scans, choose work type and finishes, follow the status in real time and download the finished files. No chasing calls and emails.

No fixed costs

You only pay for the cases you design. The month's orders become a single e-invoice — no subscriptions, no commitments.

Who designs

A team of dental technicians

Dentra grew out of a dental lab that has been working since 1979, and is led by Andrea Centofante. Craft experience and digital expertise, in the same team.
