History

Zimmer's dental line traces back through Zimmer Dental to the Core-Vent and Screw-Vent lineage, with the Tapered Screw-Vent (TSV) internal hex system becoming one of the most widely placed implants in North America. Zimmer Holdings merged with Biomet in 2015, combining Zimmer Dental with Biomet 3i.

On 1 March 2022 Zimmer Biomet completed the spinoff of its spine and dental businesses as ZimVie Inc. ZimVie subsequently sold the spine business to H.I.G. Capital for $375 million, leaving a dental-only company.

In July 2025 ZimVie agreed to be acquired by healthcare investment firm ARCHIMED at $19.00 per share, an enterprise value of roughly $730 million. The transaction closed on 20 October 2025, making the business privately held.
