Dr. David S. Alleman, DDS has over 40 years of experience as a dentist, currently practicing in Utah, USA. After seeing the results of traditional dentistry - symptomatic restorations that failed over time - he spent over eleven years pioneering the development of noninvasive dental procedures that addressed these concerns while conserving tooth structure.

All Alleman Center training programs teach these same procedures so doctors anywhere can achieve the same results.
