Founder & Director
“Great dentists don’t just fill cavities — they understand why decay happens.”
Dr. Ryan Nolan founded the institute to teach a discipline he practices every day: the Three Core Sciences method that addresses caries as a Biological, Chemical and Physiological disease — in partnership with the Alleman Center of Biomimetic Dentistry.
