Ultradent Products recently announced the acquisition of Azena Medical, LLC, developer of the Gemini™ line of soft-tissue diode lasers. The acquisition deepens a longstanding relationship between the two companies and brings Azena’s laser engineering, design, manufacturing, and clinical development expertise fully into the Ultradent family.
Ultradent and Azena will continue to invest in laser innovation, training, and clinical education to expand access to soft-tissue laser dentistry worldwide. Azena’s leadership and engineering teams will continue under Ultradent, ensuring continuity for clinicians and partners across the Gemini product line.
“For more than a decade, the Azena team has helped Ultradent advance laser dentistry in ways that genuinely benefit clinicians and their patients,” says Ultradent CEO Dirk Jeffs. “We have deep appreciation for their work, their craftsmanship, and the standard of excellence they bring to everything they design and build. We look forward to improving oral health globally together.”
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Azena Medical designs, develops, and manufactures laser-based clinical devices, including the Gemini family of dental soft-tissue diode lasers.
“This transaction is the natural next step in a decade-long partnership,” said Jonathan Luo, cofounder and chief operating officer of Azena Medical. “Joining Ultradent gives us the scale, infrastructure, and global reach to accelerate our laser and photobiomodulation programs and put them in the hands of more clinicians and patients worldwide. It also brings together two complementary missions: Azena’s Photonics to Improve Life and Ultradent’s Improving Oral Health Globally.”
