Hashimoto's. Lyme. MCAS. Chronic fatigue. Autoimmune flares that won't quit. After 1,000+ ceramic implants and patients flying in from 35 states, Dr. May has seen the same pattern over and over. The toxic load nobody screened for is sitting six inches from your brain.
Patients travel from 35 states and 5 continents because they want biological dentistry handled with precision, transparency, and ceramic implant experience that is hard to find locally.
Real patients. Real results.
These are real transformations from real patients, every one of them placed by Dr. May personally.

Your transformation is one call away. Every case is unique - and yours is next.
You're not imagining it. What's happening in your mouth is connected to what's happening in your body. And there's a way to fix both.
You've been managing a chronic illness, autoimmune disease, Lyme, Hashimoto's, MCAS, fibromyalgia, or unexplained fatigue and feel like you've tried everything except your mouth.
You have one or more root-canaled teeth and have quietly wondered whether they're connected to your symptoms.
You're considering a dental implant, but have been told that metal is the only solution, and your current dentist can't offer you anything else, like ceramic implants.
You need a front tooth replaced and the idea of a dark grey metal post showing through your gumline is simply not acceptable.
You're a biohacker or longevity-focused patient who has optimized nearly every variable in your health, except one of the most critical: your oral health.
You don't want to do the surgery twice, so you have to pick the right biological dentist for your ceramic implant surgery.
You've been dismissed, rushed, or told your concerns aren't real by conventional dentists who didn't have the tools, knowledge, or interest to look deeper.
You want the best. Not the most convenient. Not the cheapest. Not the closest. You want the top available in the USA, and you're prepared to invest in it.
If any of this resonates, you're exactly who Dr. May built his practice, Natural Dentistry Center, for.
What the Research Shows
Conventional dentistry focuses on the tooth. Biological dentistry focuses on the body.
Titanium alloy is not inert. Over time it releases metallic oxide particles into surrounding tissue, triggering peri-implantitis and chronic low-grade immune activation. [1]
Research shows up to 97% of patients have some immunological reactivity to titanium alloy. Your dentist probably never asked whether your immune system would tolerate the implant they placed. Dr. May won't place one until he knows. [2]
A root-canaled tooth has no blood supply - no immune surveillance. The tubules harbor anaerobic bacteria that produce toxic byproducts, silently burdening your immune system. [3][4]
Incompatible dental materials trigger chronic cytokine release - the same inflammatory cascade implicated in autoimmune conditions, fatigue, and systemic disease. [1]
If your body won't accept zirconia, it definitely won't accept titanium.
The conventional compromise
Titanium alloy can be strong, but strength alone does not answer the biological question: what happens when a reactive metal sits inside living tissue for years?
The biological upgrade
Instead of asking your body to tolerate metal, zirconia is selected for biocompatibility, tissue response, aesthetics, and long-term performance.
Ceramic zirconia is completely metal-free, so there is no alloy corrosion or metallic particle release.
Dr. May's average zirconia implant success rate across simple, sinus lift, immediate, and delayed cases.
A long-term focus on ceramic implant procedures, materials, protocols, and restorative outcomes.
Zirconia stays inert in the mouth and is designed for healthier tissue behavior around the implant.
A deep case history with ceramic implants, including front-tooth cosmetic cases where aesthetics matter.
Dr. May uses SDS and Ceraroot zirconia implants selected for material quality and long-term performance.
A personal message from Dr. May...
My name is Dr. Yuriy May.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer. My wife was pregnant. I started asking questions that conventional dentistry wasn't designed to answer - about the materials we implant into people's jawbones, about the teeth we kill with root canals, about the connection between what we put in the mouth and what happens in the body.
That search led me to biological dentistry - and eventually to a complete commitment. Natural Dentistry Center is 100% metal-free. Every material we use, every procedure we perform, every recommendation we make is filtered through one question: is this the most biocompatible option available?
Zirconia ceramic implants are the answer I found for patients who need an implant but refuse to introduce metal into their body. They are metal-free, immunologically inert, and closer to a natural tooth than anything titanium can offer. I have trained extensively in ceramic implantology and have taught these protocols to other clinicians - because I believe every patient deserves this option.

If you want a complete biological workup, a clear explanation of your options, and a team used to coordinating advanced care, I'd like to meet you.

Affiliations spanning ceramic implantology, biological dentistry, oral medicine, and advanced restorative care.
Dr. Yuriy May and the Natural Dentistry Center team have become a destination practice for patients seeking metal-free, biological solutions - backed by real results.
Natural Dentistry Center has become a destination for patients who want the highest standard in ceramic implant care. From across the U.S. and around the globe, patients choose Dr. May for his expertise in zirconia implants and commitment to biocompatible, metal-free dentistry.
Our Approach
A rigorous four-phase process - from imaging to final restoration - designed around your biology.
Comprehensive CBCT cone beam imaging captures precise bone structure, density, and positioning data. No guesswork - every implant placement is planned with full anatomical clarity before a single incision.
Full periodontal ligament removal ensures clean healing. The extraction site is treated with ozone gas and laser sterilization, then rebuilt with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) grafting from your own blood.
Dr. May performs every procedure personally - no associates, no delegation. Full commitment to biocompatible materials throughout. One-piece zirconia implant, placed with precision.
A custom ceramic crown is crafted to match your natural tooth anatomy precisely. After approximately 4 months of healing, your metal-free restoration is complete - built to last.
3D CBCT Imaging Review
During your evaluation, Dr. May reviews a cone beam scan that maps teeth, bone, sinuses, old dental work, and infection patterns in three dimensions. The goal is simple: show you what is happening, what your safest options are, and what should happen first.
What this changes
Instead of guessing from symptoms or a flat X-ray, the scan lets the team evaluate surgical access, bone support, hidden infection patterns, and implant suitability before recommending a plan.
Shows teeth that have already had root canal therapy so Dr. May can evaluate whether they are quiet, failing, or creating stress in the surrounding bone.
Highlights dark changes around root tips that can point to chronic infection, inflammation, or unresolved dental stress.
Identifies the existing metal implant, its position, and the bone around it before ceramic replacement or restorative options are discussed.
Calls out old extraction sites or low-density jawbone areas that may need deeper review before surgery is planned.
Puts the findings into one map so Dr. May can sequence what should be addressed first, what can wait, and what options are safest.
Your consultation includes:
Not sure if you need ceramic implants? That's exactly what the evaluation is for. In two hours, Dr. May will assess your full biological picture, explain what's happening in your mouth, and map out a path forward. No pressure. No upsell. Just the truth about your oral health.
Our clinic
Just outside of New York, Dr. Yuriy May built a biological dental surgery center for patients who want more than a rushed consult and a generic treatment plan. The experience is built around longer visits, advanced diagnostics, and metal-free care delivered with calm, clinical precision.
