About Deppeler
Our story
Deppeler’s instruments are the result of many years of know-how and passionate work.
They have stood the test of time, while continually getting up to date with the changing dental industry.
Cutting-edge instruments since 1934
Arnold Deppeler opened his workshop in 1934, in a former forge in Rolle, Switzerland, where he started making the first Swiss dental instruments. Since then, Deppeler has continually grown and taken on an international dimension – from a few products sold in Switzerland in the 30’s, to more than 500 references distributed in 40+ countries today.
Creator of the iconic M23®
Committed to developing innovative products while upholding the highest standards of swiss workmanship, Arnold Deppeler Jr. designed the original M23® universal scaler. This instrument revolutionized the dental industry worldwide and became the Swissarmy knife of every dentist and dental hygienist. Other innovations followed, such as the titanium curette, patented in 1997, the furcation curette, patented in 2005, and the light and hygienic CLEANext ergonomic handle, developed in 2010.
Man and machine
After gradually industrializing its manufacture over the years, Deppeler acquired numerical control machines. During the production process, a strict manual control at every step guarantees that each instrument meets our highest standards. In the spirit of Arnold Deppeler’s craftsmanship, all instruments are still meticulously hand-finished.
Swiss-made for the world
While many industrial sectors were facing relocation, Deppeler remained in Switzerland, in modern and eco-friendly premises, where it still produces its entire range.
