ZimVie.

ZimVie is the dental implant business that came out of Zimmer Biomet. Its history page traces the lineage through Zimmer, founded in 1927, and Biomet, founded in 1977. Biomet entered dental implants by acquiring Implant Innovations, known as 3i. Zimmer entered dental by acquiring Centerpulse. The two companies later merged. Zimmer Biomet Dental launches on that timeline include the 3.1 millimeter Eztetic implant and the T3 Short implant, plus digital steps such as Encode impression components, BellaTek abutments, and RealGUIDE planning software.

ZimVie became a separate public company in March 2022. The November 3, 2022 TSX announcement describes ZimVie as an independent spin-off of Zimmer Biomet's dental and spine businesses, headquartered at that time in Westminster, Colorado. The same announcement introduced TSX in the United States for immediate extraction and loading, using a hybrid dual acid-etched and MTX surface, and said it was compatible with existing tools and with Encode Emergence. The implant index today lists the Immediate Molar system, T3 PRO, TSX, T3, T3 Short, OSSEOTITE, and Eztetic.

On October 20, 2025, ZimVie announced that ARCHIMED had completed the acquisition and that ZimVie was a private company, no longer traded on Nasdaq. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-K records the same closing date. That 2025 release describes ZimVie as a dental implant company and lists headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It describes the catalog as dental implants, biomaterials, and digital workflow products. The 2022 spin-off description had included spine. This profile follows the 2025 company description and does not restate older spine product lines.

Biomaterials are a large part of the current site. ZimVie describes a range that includes allografts, xenografts, synthetics, growth factors, membranes, and wound dressings, and it highlights Puros allografts processed with the Tutoplast process. The history page also lists Puros Ci particulate, Puros custom blocks, Azure multi-platform components, and the Biotivity A/C Plus membrane. GenTek restorative components are described there as an FDA-cleared U.S. launch. Those names are enough to start an order. The package insert still controls indication and handling.

For buyers, the practical identity is the prosthetic history in the cabinet. An office or lab that has restored 3i, TSV, or Encode cases is already in this family and should stay on the ZimVie chart for replacements. An office choosing a first implant system should compare connections with MIS, Dentium, and Implant Direct before stocking a kit, and should treat Nobel Biocare and Straumann as separate systems with their own parts.

ZimVie suits surgical practices and restoring dentists who already have Zimmer Biomet, 3i, TSV, or Encode inventory, and practices that want Puros or another named ZimVie biomaterial beside the implant. The Immediate Molar system is aimed at molar sites, in the company's wording. T3 Short and Eztetic are the short and narrow names on the history page. Read each indication. Do not stretch a short-implant clearance across every posterior site.

Labs that scan Encode Emergence parts or mill on a ZimVie titanium base should stay on that library. GenTek is the newer restorative name on the history page. Confirm it is the abutment family your software lists. The implant motor guide covers the surgical motor, which is separate from the implant kit.

A practice that wants a direct-to-doctor value catalog is looking at a different company, such as Implant Direct. ZimVie's 2025 release describes a dental implant business with biomaterials and digital workflows. It does not describe the 2006-style online store Implant Direct publishes.

ZimVie's peers in a first-system decision are Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Dentsply Sirona including MIS, Dentium, and Implant Direct. Compare the connection, the healing abutment, and whether your lab has the driver and the analog. T3, TSX, and OSSEOTITE are not three labels for one body. The index lists them separately, and the TSX launch described a specific surface combination.

On grafts, Puros is an allograft family processed with Tutoplast, in ZimVie's description. Dentium's Osteon timeline is a different material history. The bone-grafting guide separates allograft, xenograft, and synthetic options. ZimVie says it sells all three classes. Order the class the surgeon asked for, under the Puros or other ZimVie name on the insert, not under a generic "membrane" label.

Ownership changed in 2025, when ARCHIMED took the company private. That does not merge ZimVie with another implant brand. Parts support for installed TSV and Encode cases is the question to ask the Palm Beach Gardens contact, especially if your lab's last manual still says Zimmer Biomet Dental.

Match the implant to the site using ZimVie's names: T3, T3 PRO, T3 Short, TSX, Eztetic, OSSEOTITE, or the Immediate Molar system. Then match the prosthetic path, Encode, GenTek, or the abutment the lab already has drivers for. A TSX case that the 2022 release ties to Encode Emergence should stay on that healing abutment if that is the workflow you trained on. Replacing it with another company's scan body breaks the library.

Ask ZimVie for the warranty on the fixture, the policy on opened packaging, and who supports a 3i or TSV implant placed years ago. The 2025 headquarters in the acquisition release is Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The 2022 release said Westminster, Colorado. Use the contact on the current site when you call. SEC filings confirm the acquisition closed on October 20, 2025. They do not list a customer-service number.

Biomaterial orders need the product family and the size. Puros particulate, a Puros block, and a Biotivity membrane are different SKUs. Azure is described as multi-platform. Confirm which implant platforms the current Azure components actually fit before you use them to reduce inventory. Digital planning software named on the history page, including RealGUIDE, has to export a guide your surgical kit can follow. The motor and the kit still have to agree on that guide.
