Dental device distributors in Canada: 91 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 91 establishments in Canada whose registry records include dental: 46 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 17 registration holders without a channel role, and 28 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 2,745 medical device establishments in Canada overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 October 2026.
Dental covers equipment, implants, consumables and intraoral imaging sold to clinics and laboratories rather than hospitals. Dental dealers are a separate channel from hospital distributors, with their own wholesalers and trade shows. The segment usually has many establishments with small registration counts each.
