In a dental furnace or dental press furnace comprising a furnace base (14) which is provided with a supporting surface for at least one dental restoration part, a furnace head (12) is provided which is connected to the furnace base (14) via a joint device (16) attached to the furnace base (14) and which is pivotable relative to the furnace base (14) via said device. Pivoting takes place about a pivot axis (40) which extends substantially parallel to the supporting surface, as well as a motor (42) which acts on the joint device (16) for the pivotable movement of the furnace head (12). The pivot axis (40) extends outside of the furnace head (12) and outside of the joint device (16).
