More About Zyris

We’re a family business that was dreamt up over a holiday dinner by a dentist, an industrial designer, and an accountant. The dentist complained of physical strain and visibility challenges, and after much brainstorming and experimenting, the alternative isolation category was born in 2001. As a result, over 100 million dental procedures at over 15,000 locations have had better outcomes with ease and efficiency.

Our company culture embodies an entrepreneurial spirit by encouraging employees to speak up and pursue new ideas, with an eye on long-term customer success. We live our core values, while supporting each other and the greater dental community.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are an equal opportunity employer and believe that diverse perspectives enrich and strengthen our company culture.
