Dentsply Trubyte History
On June 23, 1899, a little more than half a year before the start of a new century, The Dentist’s Supply Company of New York was formally chartered by the state of New York.
Secretary of State John T. McDonough signed the papers in Albany. Within a month, The Dentist’s Supply Company of New York was serving dental retail outlets and manufacturing its first product, artificial teeth.
Called 20th Century Teeth, in honor of the coming century, these platinum pin teeth were considered revolutionary. Made of porcelain using techniques developed and perfected by George Whitely, 20th Century Teeth had platinum pins baked into the porcelain structure to hold them in place within the dental base. This was hailed as a major improvement in the design and manufacture of teeth and dentures.
In typical dentures of that day, teeth broke off from the dental base when the pressure of chewing and biting created internal stresses. After the anchors were baked into the teeth, pins were soldered to the anchors to hold the teeth in place. The strength of 20th Century Teeth earned The Dentist’s Supply Company a reputation for high quality goods.
The Dentist’s Supply Company of New York was off and running. A century later, the company founded on the strength of one product is DENTSPLY International, a company that serves the world’s dental needs.
