Since 1989 Istrodent has successfully expanded to become one of  Southern Africa’s leading dental equipment & consumables suppliers, due to our proven long-term commitment to high quality products, technical expertise and after sales service.

We are the sole distributors in Southern Africa for many world class dental equipment manufacturers, this extensive and innovative equipment and consumable range caters for all the requirements of a modern dental practice.

Our specialists are available to visit any site in Africa, to assist in the design of your clinic and suggest the best equipment options. Our team also specializes in the manufacturing of a wide range of mobile clinics. We have designed and built medical, dental and x-ray clinics into trailers, caravans, trucks, containers and trains.  Early in the 1990’s Colgate decided to donate mobile dental clinics to many of the provincial health departments, which started the ball rolling. There was a massive demand for mobile healthcare within South Africa and Istrodent were lucky enough to have a director that specialised in this area in the overseas market.  The majority of the clinics have been dental, however there are also mother and child units, medical, ophthalmologic, TB screening, Mammography and Audiology, we have also done GP buses with multiple consultation rooms.

In 1994 Istrodent played a crucial and instrumental role in the design, manufacture and fitting of the Phelophepa train which was sponsored by Transnet. The dental coaches were subsidised by the Colgate – Palmolive foundation. The resounding success of the Phelophepa prompted the demand for a 2^nd healthcare train a decade later. Both trains travel on a 2 year cycle visiting and educating school children, whilst assisting and treating a multitude of medical ailments within South African rural communities. Istrodent prides itself in offering top quality brands and ensures that our technicians and sales team undergo extensive training in order to effectively deal with any questions the client may have.
