Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
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 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates | 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 and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | 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. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted 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.

Revenue | Revenues are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. |
Inventory | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. |
Foreign Exchange Risk Management | Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company hedges select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings. The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the assessed effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to 18 months, which is the period over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows and the counterparties to the transactions are typically large international financial institutions.

Goodwill & Intangible Assets | The Company assesses both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of April 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. In the third and fourth quarters of 2022, the Company identified indicators of a "more likely than not" impairment related to its Digital Dental Group and Equipment & Instruments reporting units and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets, which resulted in impairment charges. At March 31, 2023, the remaining goodwill related to the Digital Dental Group and Equipment & Instruments reporting units was $235 million and $193 million, respectively, and the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets with impairments in the third or fourth quarters of 2022 was $157 million, $15 million, and $40 million for the Digital Dental Group, Equipment & Instruments, and Consumables reporting units, respectively. As the fair value of these reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets continues to approximate carrying values as of March 31, 2023, any further decline in key assumptions could result in additional impairments in future periods. Refer to Note 12 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets within the 2022 Form 10-K for further information regarding prior year impairment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company considered qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may have become more likely than not impaired during the course of the quarter, and concluded there were no such indicators. The Company performed a hypothetical sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate by 100 basis points and, in a separate test, reducing 10% the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Under this sensitivity, one additional reporting unit within the Technologies & Equipment segment and certain indefinite-lived intangibles within the Technologies & Equipment segment would have a fair value less than 10% in excess of book value. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $1,134 million at March 31, 2023, and the carrying value of these indefinite-lived intangible assets was $57 million at March 31, 2023.
