Company Story
Garrison Dental Solutions, established in 1997, is a locally-owned company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of medical device product solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of dentistry.
The genesis of Garrison Dental Solutions was in 1997, when two dentists and an engineer developed a product to solve a common problem. Drs. Edgar and John Garrison, and Robert Anderson--with Tom Garrison joining shortly thereafter--had no idea at the time that their invention would change dentistry.
This new product was the original Composi-Tight sectional matrix system. This system, comprised of a wedge, a contoured matrix band, and a separating ring, enables the dentist to better prepare composite (white “tooth-colored”) fillings. Fillings that truly replicate natural tooth anatomy while achieving optimal contact between the teeth to eliminate “food traps."
Now sold in over 130 countries through our offices in North America and Europe, Garrison’s global reach is a testament to the quality of our highly-regarded line of dental products. Garrison’s product offering has expanded over the years to include matrix solutions for all classes of dental restorations, as well as instruments and other matrix procedure auxiliaries. Garrison’s flagship product, the Strata-G™ Sectional Matrix System, has won the top award within the dental community as the leading product in its category.
Our Vision: Innovating dentistry to restore healthy smiles worldwide.
Our Promise: Simplifying procedures. Improving outcomes. Every time.
Our Core Values: Determination, teamwork, quality, and continuous improvement.
Our Mission: Delivering inventive solutions worldwide that improve dental procedures and patient outcomes with clinical predictability.
