The Future of Dentistry
Dr. Fields received a degree in Computer
Science and Mathematics from Emory
University in Atlanta, GA, and continued his
studies at Baylor College of Dentistry in
Dallas, TX, earning a Doctorate in Dental
Surgery. He then earned a certificate in Oral
& Maxillofacial Surgery and a second
Doctorate degree, a Ph.D. in Craniofacial
Biology, through Texas A & M Health
Science Center. Dr. Fields regularly teaches
seminars for other surgical specialists and
dentists, primarily focusing on advances in
dental implant care for tooth replacement.
For the last 8 years he has worked closely

test a new ceramic dental implant system
and a new bone-welding technique that may
radically change how missing teeth are
