From raw material to high-performance dental instruments – see how craftsmanship and innovation come together in Komet UK’s German manufacturing, and how dental professionals use the instruments in real-world settings during hands-on courses.
Since 1923, Komet Dental, a division of the family-owned Gebr Brasseler has been at the forefront of rotary dental instrument innovation. With over a century of experience and its high-tech manufacturing facility in Germany, the brand has become a global symbol of quality, precision, and forward-thinking R&D.
With the launch of Komet UK in the UK in January 2025, the company is entering a new chapter – one rooted in direct customer relationships, localised expertise, and even greater accessibility to its portfolio of over 25,000 premium products. Its aim is to facilitate the daily work of our customers and permanently improve patient care through short distances and direct communication.
From idea to instrument: a manufacturing legacy
In a market often dominated by mass production and third-party outsourcing, Komet Dental stands apart with its in-house R&D and end-to-end manufacturing. Every instrument is crafted with uncompromising precision – from diamond-coated burs to polishers and finishers – designed to perform under the most demanding clinical requirements.
Inside the German production facility, visitors can witness how engineering, quality control, and packaging are executed under one roof. This guarantees reliable delivery times and consistent product quality and reflects the brand’s commitment to traceability and technological leadership.
‘I’ve been qualified for over 30 years now, and my first introduction to Komet was that they were the first quality burs I used in practice, as much as 30 years ago,’ says Sanjay Sethi, principal dentist at Square Mile Dental Centre and director of Elevate Dentistry.
‘Today, we use Komet burs exclusively because we know they are synonymous with innovation, quality and precision.’
Innovation with purpose: developed for clinical excellence
What truly sets Komet Dental apart is its commitment to real-world impact. In addition to developing cutting-edge solutions, the company invests heavily in education and training. That’s why every product is designed not only to meet but to anticipate clinical needs.
In the featured video, dental professionals in a live continuing education course showcase how Komet Dental’s instruments streamline their workflows — whether in restorative treatments, all-ceramic procedures, or precision grinding. From diamond instruments to polishers and sonic tips, each tool supports faster, more predictable, and minimally invasive care.
‘We look at bur catalogues and we don’t know what to select exactly […] so to have someone sit there patiently and help you choose what you need means you’re not ordering five different types of burs; you order the correct bur first time. So, for me, it’s invaluable,’ added Dr Sethi.
Why the UK now? Listening to the market
The decision to launch Komet UK in the UK was driven by listening closely to dental professionals. For too long, selecting the right rotary instruments often meant navigating print catalogues or impersonal web shops – a frustrating and inefficient experience.
With Komet UK, customers now have direct access to:
- Expert dental sales consultants offering personal consultations and expert advice
- A dedicated online shop
- Personalised Customer Service support via email or phone
- A hybrid distribution model that retains trusted local partners such as Ortho-Care, Abbey Dental Supplies, Wrights, Henry Schein, DD Group, Dental Sky, Trycare, Ardagh Dental Supplies and DMI.
‘At Komet UK, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Strengthening relationships with dental professionals remains our top priority – whether through consultations, education, or innovative digital solutions designed to streamline practice workflows,’ says Heidi O’Carroll, CEO of Komet UK.
This hybrid model balances innovation with trusted continuity and also gives dental practices the tools to make informed, confident purchasing decisions.
Looking ahead
Komet UK is just the beginning of a larger strategy: expanding customer-centric services, increasing product range, and building a stronger presence in the UK and beyond. By putting people before products, the company ensures that every innovation it brings to market is not only technically advanced but clinically relevant.
Whether you are seeking clinical precision, manufacturing excellence, or real partnership, Komet UK is your trusted ally in dentistry’s future.
