Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2023 (the "2022 Form 10-K/A"). Effective April 1, 2023 the Company realigned its reporting structure due to certain organizational changes. As a result, the Company's reportable segments changed from Technology & Equipment and Consumables to (i) Connected Technology Solutions, (ii) Essential Dental Solutions, (iii) Orthodontic and Implant Solutions, and (iv) Wellspect Healthcare. All prior segment information and disaggregated revenue information have been recast to reflect the Company's new segment structure and current period presentation. Refer to Note 6, Segment Information, for further discussion on this change. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of Net sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new standard requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value differs from the current approach. The amendments in this update were effective for the fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” in January 2021 and by ASU No. 2022-06 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” in December 2022. The new standard provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") or another rate expected to be discontinued due to the reference rate reform. This standard was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Seasonality Our business is subject to quarterly fluctuations in demand due to price changes, marketing and promotional programs, management of inventory levels by distributors and other customers, and implementation of strategic initiatives which may impact sales levels in any given period. Demand can also fluctuate based on the timing of dental tradeshows, new product introductions, and variability in dental patient traffic, which can be exacerbated by seasonal or severe weather patterns, other demographic disruptions, or macroeconomic conditions. Some dental practices in certain countries may also delay purchasing equipment and restocking consumables until year-end due to tax or other financial planning reasons which can impact the timing of our consolidated net sales, net income and cash flows. Sales for the industry and the Company are generally strongest in the second and fourth quarters and weaker in the first and third quarters, due to the effects of the items noted above and due to the impact of holidays and vacations, particularly throughout Europe. Because of the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for other quarters or a full fiscal year.
