About Filhol Dental
Filhol Dental has designed and made Filpin and Filpost for 40 years.
The Filhol Dental story is one of dedicated people running a precision manufacturing company with unique, high quality, and clinically effective products.
Stuart Filhol’s father, Julian, set up his company in Leamington Spa, U.K., in 1923, importing synthetic sapphires to make jewel-bearings for precision instruments.
Stuart was an engineering apprentice in Switzerland until he took over the company as a young man in his early 20’s. He employed over 100 people manufacturing precision devices such as heart meters and parts for the supersonic Concorde.
He decided to manufacture products of his own invention when he moved to Ireland in 1970 and progressed into the dental business.
From hip manufacturers he discovered that titanium “strong yet pliable” is the material most bio-compatible with the human body. Stuart was the first to to use 99.8% pure titanium for parapulpal retention pins and endodontic root canal posts, Filpin and Filpost.
Founder Stuart believed in simplicity in design and in his successful business model.
