Dan Erwin Fischer DDS

Dr. Dan Erwin Fischer is the founder and CEO of Ultradent Products, Inc., a dental manufacturer with a 30-year history of innovation and quality. Now an international leader in the dental industry. Ultradent Products began humbly in Dr. Fischer’s basement, with his children as its first employees. 

As a young dentist, Dr. Fischer realized that rapid, profound hemostasis was imperative for quality operative dentistry. Because there were no products on the market that predictably controlled the bleeding and sulcular fluid, he developed one. Considered one of Ultradent Product’s flagship products, Astringedent™, and later Viscostat resulted from Dr. Fischer’s insight, determination, and willingness to work after hours using his own blood to test his efforts—to produce exactly what he felt the market needed. 

Over three decades later, Dr. Fischer is still revolutionizing the dental industry. He has numerous patents to his name, and regularly lectures and writes articles about state-of-the-art dentistry. He also works part-time in his daughter’s dental practice, which enables him to connect with patients and practice minimally invasive dentistry—a philosophy around which Ultradent Products develops products and procedures.
