Heraeus has maintained a Facebook presence since 2009, although it used the "Venus Smile" name until 2011.

"We created our Facebook page for two main reasons," said Karen Nemes, Heraeus' Marketing Services Manager. "First, to make it easy and enjoyable for our customers, and for dental professionals who are thinking about becoming our customers, to access helpful information about our products and how best to use them.  Second, to enable visitors to share their ideas and insights with us and with each other.  That's where the page's name comes from: 'Heraeus Dental 360' means that we take a 360-degree perspective when it comes to interacting with our customers. After all, great ideas can come from anyone or any direction."
