Finding a Better Way to Fix Teeth

Dr. David Alleman is known today as an innovator in the dental field, but it didn’t start that way. Dr. Alleman recalls his early interest in science, his journey as a dental student, experiences in his early career and how all of this led to him wanting to leave dentistry. Frustrated with sensitivity and failing restorations, he expectation that fillings would one day need crowns and then root canal therapy the next made his work feel worthless. He wondered: is this the best a dentist could do for their patients? In 1998 Dr. Alleman learned about advancements in adhesive dentistry, which offered the opportunity for improved results, but some of his mentors’ teaching left him with more questions than answers. So he took the research into his own hands. Dr. Alleman’s literature review opened his eyes to techniques that would later be called biomimetic restorative dentistry, but at the time he was just looking for a better way to fix teeth. He sought solutions to post-operative sensitivity, failing and debonding restorations and cracked teeth. As Dr. Alleman incorporated the research into his work, the results were impressive. This research is the basis for his Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry, a system now used by doctors around the world.
