Our story

The art of dental technique, since 1979

A family story that started in 1979 and became Dentra: from handcrafted prosthetics to digital design. The same attention to detail, now digital.

We started as a dental lab in Valdagno, near Vicenza. Today we are Dentra: 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 founding

Alessandro Marco Centofante founds the dental lab in Valdagno (VI). His initials, C.A.M., become the mark of a lab that 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 team of dental technicians specialised in digital design. Every case is handled by real professionals, every Toronto Bridge discussed clinically before it is designed. The 1979 craft tradition lives on in the care we design with today.

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.

What we believe in

Quality above all

Digital doesn't replace experience: it amplifies it. Behind every design there is a dental technician who knows the craft, not software left to its own devices.

People, not automation

Your cases are designed by real, expert dental technicians. The software is a tool in their hands, not a substitute.

Clinical discussion

Complex cases — full-arch, Toronto Bridge, immediate loads — are discussed before being designed. Precision comes from dialogue.

Traceability and compliance

Traceable specs and materials, compliance with the European regulation on custom-made medical devices. Patient safety first.
