Learn about our market-leading
(20)

Zest Dental Solutions is a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of dental solutions for the treatment of edentulous patients. The company was founded in 1972 by Max Zuest at his dental laboratory in San Diego, California. Here the original ZEST® Anchor Attachment originated from a desire to help clinicians combat the damage caused by patients improperly seating their overdentures. M

ax’s vision continued with his son Paul Zuest continuing to place patient satisfaction above all else with ZEST’s introduction of the ZAAG Attachment in 1994 and eventually the third generation LOCATOR Attachment System in 2001. Since that time, LOCATOR® has achieved worldwide acceptance as the premier tissue-supported, implant-retained overdenture attachment in the dental industry. More than 90 manufacturers have partnered with ZEST to customize its patented LOCATOR Attachment System to be compatible with their respective implant platforms. In fact, LOCATOR represents a rare occurrence in implant dentistry. Never before has the implant industry, clinicians and patients come together to universally recognize the merits of a restorative solution making LOCATOR the most globally recognized and trusted brand for overdenture restorations. Today, Zest Dental Solutions is a portfolio company of Avista Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm. Day-to-day operations are led by Steve Schiess as President and CEO. Steve and his executive management team are comprised of seasoned implant dentistry professionals with combined experience of nearly 50 years. This experience is manifest with continued innovation and the introduction of products and services that continue to provide clinicians with world-class overdenture solutions for their patients. This spirit of innovation led to the evolution of the original LOCATOR System with the launch in early 2016 of the next generation LOCATOR R-Tx Removable Attachment System. ZEST’s product portfolio also includes exceptionally designed LOCATOR and SATURNO overdenture implant systems and the CHAIRSIDE Product Portfolio – a line of dental tools and materials that provide an end-to-end solution for implant-retained overdenture modification and processing. Also in early 2016, ZEST acquired Danville Materials which produces a high quality line of dental consumables, market leading micro-etching and air abrasion products and unique offerings such as Perioscopy. This acquisition enables ZEST, the undisputed market leader in implant-retained, tissue supported overdenture attachments to expand its broad range of treatment solutions to patients caring for their natural teeth. Zest Dental Solutions is located in Carlsbad, California and has global distribution through OEM implant companies, distributor networks, and a domestic retail sales operation.

About Us

Zest’s humble beginning started in 1972 within a small dental laboratory in San Diego, California. From that point through 1976, the original founder Max Zuest recognized the continual problems his clinician customers were experiencing with patients’ overdentures. During this time, the Zest® Attachment originated, a solution considered to be far better than what was on the market at the time. In 1977 Mr. Zuest’s son, Paul Zuest, joined him officially forming Zest Anchors and releasing the second generation Zest Anchor Advanced Generation (ZAAG®) Attachment. The ZAAG Attachment was designed for all major implant systems, a product differentiator that proved to be an important growth driver resulting in the need for a larger manufacturing facility in Escondido, California. In 2000, realizing improvements could still be made to the product portfolio, Paul took over operations of the company, and together with Scott Mullaly, set forth to develop a product that would eventually become the most globally recognized and trusted brand for overdenture restorations, the LOCATOR® Attachment System, commercially released in 2001. In late 2009, Zest Anchors was acquired by the private equity firm The Jordan Group.

Today, Zest Dental Solutions is a portfolio company of BC Partners, a leading private equity firm. Day-to-day operations are led by Steve Schiess as President and CEO. The company’s flagship product LOCATOR has achieved worldwide acceptance as the premier overdenture attachment in the dental industry. More than 100 manufacturers have partnered with Zest to customize its patented LOCATOR Attachment System to be compatible with their respective implant platforms. Zest provides removable and fixed implant restorative solutions, world class narrow diameter implant systems, and dental materials and products for overdenture modification and processing to clinicians treating the real world problems associated with edentulism. The company has also further diversified its product portfolio with acquisitions of Danville Materials, a leader in small equipment and dental consumables, and Iveri Whitening. This diversification makes Zest a true solutions based company for a continuum of patient care from the preservation of natural teeth to the treatment of total edentulism. Zest’s Global Headquarters is in Carlsbad, California, with satellite operations in Anaheim and Escondido, California.
