Dental device distributors in France: 47 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 47 establishments in France whose registry records include dental: 15 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 4 registration holders without a channel role, and 28 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 2,670 medical device establishments in France overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED 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.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 13 | 28% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 3 | 6% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Authorised representative | 4 | 9% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 10 | 21% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 46 | 98% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 6 | 13% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in France
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
