Instructor

DDS

Dr. Alan Dalessandro

Dr. Alan Dalessandro received his DDS from Loyola University in Chicago in 1979; completed his residency at Rush Presbyterian in General Practice, Plastic Surgery, and General Anesthesia; and periodontal fellowship at the University of Illinois. For over 35 years, he has practiced periodontics in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, and began placing dental implants in the early 1980s. Dr. Dalessandro, one of the early adopters of CBCT, uses this technology in conjunction with intraoral scanning to create and print 3D guides for most implant cases. He has also extensively studied lasers and their use in periodontics and in treating peri-implantitis. His teaching experience goes back to the 1990s on a wide range of topics including leadership, practice management, 3D scanning, and guided surgery. His goal is to pass along knowledge and information to his colleagues to help them become educated on current trends in dentistry. He teaches international groups of periodontists and dentists on a regular basis regarding his areas of expertise, including the physics of laser technology, laser surgical procedures, and the current research and treatment of peri-implantitis.
