Myerson

What Myerson does

Myerson is a privately held dental manufacturing company founded in 1917 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with manufacturing operations in Laventille, Trinidad and Tobago for over 70 years. The company specializes in removable prosthetics, producing denture teeth (Myerson Special, Myerson DB Plus, Kenson), thermoplastic materials (DuraFlex, VisiClear, DuraCetal), 3D printing resins (Trusana Premium and Trusana1), milling discs (Dentivera), soft reline materials (PermaSoft), and FDA-cleared oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea (EMA). Myerson also manufactures supporting equipment including the FlexPress automated injection system and the HotShotElite handheld clasp injector. Products are integrated with major digital dental platforms, including 3Shape CAD/CAM software, and have been validated on Asiga Max UV, Asiga Pro 4K, and SprintRay Pro95 3D printers, positioning the company at the intersection of conventional dental materials and the digital denture manufacturing workflow transition.

The company's technology foundation rests on proprietary materials chemistry — notably the patented Trusana resin system delivering 129 MPa flexural strength and 10.2 kJ/m2 impact strength — alongside vertically integrated production in Trinidad and Tobago. Myerson serves two primary customer segments: dental laboratories (which fabricate the dentures and appliances using Myerson's materials and equipment) and dental professionals (dentists who prescribe and fit the products). The EMA authorized lab network requires $99 certification per lab, creating a controlled distribution channel for the sleep apnea device. Within dental labs, Myerson supports application workflows including flexible partial dentures, complete dentures, occlusal splints, night guards, RPD frameworks, clasps, and implant overdentures.

Myerson operates a hardware-sales revenue model selling physical materials and equipment rather than software. Distribution is multi-channel: direct sales from the Chicago headquarters handle North America, Skillbond Direct Ltd covers Europe from High Wycombe, UK, Zahn Dental holds exclusive global rights for the Trusana Premium 3D Printing Resin line, and certified authorized labs distribute EMA appliances. The company serves customers in over 40 markets globally with marketing presence across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, the company website resource library, and trade publication coverage. CEO Jim Swartout leads the company, which remains privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment.
