  Unfortunately the top is a formica/Wilsonart type of laminate. From my knowledge I don't believe there is much you can do. You could try using one of those glue-type dent pullers on amazon but you risk causing more damage. But my guess is it wouldn't do much because the laminate is glued to the MDF underneath. 
  
  Post a pic. I wonder if concealing it would be a better option (touch up paint).

  Here is a picture of the divot that my husband put in the countertop. We think we will just superglue it shut.

  You might consider trying Marine Tex epoxy putty.   Just mix the entire jar so the ratios are right, fill the area with just enough to fill the void, cut a piece of plastic bag and place on top from one side to flatten the area with no trapped bubbles, and place something heavy and flat on the plastic while it cures.  It probably won't be an exact match, but it should look better.  The key is putting just the right amount so it only fills the void.

  Thanks.  This sounds way better than superglue.

  Did you try contacting a kitchen counter fabrication dealer?  Bet they have a few tricks for this or can steer you in the right direction

  I dropped my Yeti coffee cup on my 400's countertop leaving a 1/2 inch gash where it hit.  I purchased a repair kit, available on Amazon and, while slightly visible if you look closely under certain light, pretty much hides the damage- I can see it but that's because I know it's there.

  Search on Formica dent repair pastes. You should be able to purchase one that is a fairly close match to your counter. Do not use superglue on it.

  I bought the kit in white that included some acetone and the tool.  Good luck with your fix.
