Precision Without Compromise: Dr. Yuriy May’s Biological Mastery in Bye Ol’ Dentistry

Dr. Yuriy May, DMD, represents a new standard in modern dentistry, one where surgical excellence, biological integrity, and elite esthetics coexist without compromise. Nationally recognized for his expertise in ceramic implantology, Dr. May is featured in “Bye Ol’ Dentistry,” the Lolli Brands Entertainment documentary that challenges outdated dental practices and elevates biologically driven, whole-body–conscious care.

“Bye Ol’ Dentistry” reveals how conventional dental approaches, particularly metal-based implants and overlooked oral infections, can quietly undermine systemic health. Through expert insight and real patient experiences, the film highlights biologic dentistry as the future of oral care. Dr. May’s work stands as a clear embodiment of this vision, proving that metal-free, health-forward dentistry can also meet the highest demands of precision and beauty.

A Singular Focus on Ceramic Implant Excellence

For more than a decade, Dr. May has devoted his clinical practice almost exclusively to ceramic zirconia implants. During that time, he has placed and restored over 1,000 zirconia implants, ranging from single-tooth replacements to some of the most complex full-arch reconstructions in the ceramic implant field. His advanced surgical experience includes cases requiring up to 16 implants in a single four-hour session, lateral sinus lifts, and the reconstruction of severely atrophied jawbones using advanced biological grafting and regenerative protocols.

Where Surgical Precision Meets Esthetic Artistry

What truly distinguishes Dr. May is his rare ability to unite surgical discipline with artistic control, especially in the most demanding area of dentistry: the front-tooth esthetic zone. Patients travel from across the country seeking his care for cosmetically critical zirconia implant cases that require meticulous planning, exact placement, and immediate provisional restorations. His results are known for looking natural, lifelike, and seamlessly integrated, setting a benchmark for what ceramic implant dentistry can achieve when health and beauty are treated as equal priorities.

Educator, Leader, and Scientific Contributor

Dr. May’s influence extends well beyond his clinical practice. Since 2017, he has led hands-on ceramic implant courses, teaching dentists the techniques, biological principles, and decision-making required for predictable zirconia implant surgery. He has published case studies, presented complex outcomes, and built one of the largest before-and-after zirconia implant portfolios in the United States. This body of work reflects not only volume, but consistency, depth of experience, and refined esthetic judgment.

Advancing Biological Dentistry Worldwide

A respected international lecturer, Dr. May has presented advanced ceramic implant cases globally, including at the JCCI in Switzerland, and has served as an instructor in the Ceramic Implant Program at ACIMD. He is a board member of the International Academy of Oral Ceramic Implantology and remains actively involved in shaping the future of biologically driven implant science. His credentials include a DMD from the University of Connecticut, board certification as a Naturopathic Dentist, fellowship recognition from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and multiple certifications from leading biological dental organizations, including IAOMT and IABDM.

Redefining Implant Dentistry Through Biology and Beauty

“Bye Ol’ Dentistry” calls attention to the need for dentistry that honors both systemic health and long-term outcomes. The film illustrates how metal implants, untreated infections, and biologically incompatible materials can contribute to chronic inflammation and impaired healing, while biological protocols emphasize compatibility, regeneration, and immune balance.

Dr. Yuriy May stands at the forefront of this evolution. His philosophy is grounded in the belief that dentistry must serve the whole person, not just replace missing teeth. In addition to elite implant reconstruction, his clinical focus includes the careful evaluation and removal of oral infections such as infected root canals and cavitations that may compromise systemic health. Through precision-driven biological dentistry, Dr. May delivers results that are surgically elite, biologically sound, and esthetically uncompromising. In an era where patients demand more than function, his work proves that the future of dentistry is one where health, longevity, and beauty are held to the same uncompromising standard.
