Dr. Alejandro Mora: Redefining Prosthodontics Through Biological Dentistry

Dr. Alejandro Mora has spent the last decade unlearning the limitations of what he once thought dentistry could be. As a prosthodontist and Regenerative Aesthetics Director at TRYBE in Costa Rica, he has seen that the most meaningful dental care happens when every material and procedure is evaluated for its impact on a patient’s overall health. His shift to biological dentistry has been more than a career change—it has been a complete awakening to what comprehensive patient care truly means.

Dr. Mora now brings this perspective to “Bye Ol’ Dentistry,” the upcoming documentary from Lolli Brands Entertainment that challenges outdated dental practices and highlights biological dentistry as the path forward. The film aims to show how oral health is inseparable from systemic wellness. His inclusion adds a specialist’s voice to the narrative, reinforcing that dentistry must evolve to protect not only smiles but long-term health.

Discovering the Limits of Conventional Dentistry

His background tells the story of this shift. He completed his specialty in prosthodontics, which focuses on full oral rehabilitation: replacing missing teeth, creating crowns and bridges, reconstructing damaged teeth, and cosmetic work like veneers. In traditional dentistry terms, he was trained to excel at what most people think of as “fixing teeth.” But over time, he realized dentistry wasn’t just about fixing teeth—it was often creating new problems.

His patients became his teachers without knowing it—the businessman who developed chronic fatigue after a root canal; the mother whose inflammation wouldn’t resolve around her metal crown; the young woman whose autoimmune symptoms flared every time she had dental work. These weren’t random occurrences; they were patients’ bodies rejecting the materials he had been taught were “biocompatible.”

That’s when Dr. Mora discovered biological dentistry, and everything changed. But he also realized he couldn’t do this work alone.

Today, he works alongside Dr. Andrés Fernández, a maxillofacial surgeon, in what he believes is a unique partnership in biological dentistry. Both are specialists in their fields, but they have chosen to practice through a biological lens. This means no mercury amalgams, no root canals that leave dead, infected tissue in the body, and no titanium implants that can trigger immune responses. Instead, they use zirconia implants, ceramic restorations, and protocols that support the body’s natural healing rather than fighting against it.

What most people don’t realize is how rare this combination is. Few prosthodontists or maxillofacial surgeons practice biological dentistry anywhere in the world. Most biological dentists are general practitioners, which is valuable, but when patients need complex rehabilitation, full mouth reconstruction, multiple implants, or advanced cosmetic work, they need specialists who understand both the technical complexity and the biological implications.

Dr. Mora is not here to attack traditional dentistry or the dentists who practice it. Many are good people doing what they were taught. But he is here to defend what he and his team do, and to explain why they do it differently. When a patient comes to them, they are not just getting their teeth fixed—they are getting their health restored. The mouth is not separate from the body. It is the gateway to systemic health, and what goes into it matters.

Every Material, Every Choice, Every Patient

What drives him is not just the technical excellence of creating perfect crowns or precise implant placement. It is seeing patients regain their energy after mercury fillings are removed. It is watching someone’s chronic inflammation disappear after replacing titanium implants with zirconia. It is knowing that the smile design they create isn’t just beautiful—it is built on a foundation that supports the immune system instead of challenging it.

Every material they use, every protocol they follow, every decision they make is filtered through one question: “Is this supporting the patient’s overall health, or is it creating a future problem?” This approach requires more time, more education, and often more investment from patients, but the results speak for themselves.

We live in a time when more people are questioning what goes into their food, skincare, and homes, but somehow, the materials permanently placed in their mouths still get a free pass. Dr. Mora believes this needs to change.

Why Dr. Mora Joined “Bye Ol’ Dentistry”

The world needs to hear these stories, which is why he immediately agreed when Anthony and TereZa Lolli invited him to participate in “Bye Ol’ Dentistry.” What struck him about their journey is that they didn’t just survive a dental disaster; they transformed their pain into purpose, deciding to warn others about the hidden dangers lurking in routine dental procedures.

“Bye Ol’ Dentistry” reframes how the world sees oral health. Rather than presenting dentistry as an isolated practice, the documentary exposes how outdated treatments can silently compromise systemic wellness while elevating biological dentistry as a true medical frontier. By weaving together global expertise, patient recoveries, and the lived experiences of practitioners like Dr. Mora, the film shows that what happens in the mouth has consequences far beyond it—and that the solutions already exist.

The Lollis aren’t anti-dentistry. They are pro-safe dentistry. They are not telling people to avoid dental care; they are showing that there are better options. The documentary shines a light on practitioners like Dr. Mora and Dr. Fernández who have chosen a different path. They are not trying to be revolutionary for the sake of being different; they are trying to be responsible for the long-term health outcomes of their patients.

What excites Dr. Mora most is that this film will reach people who have never heard of biological dentistry—people who assume that all dental materials are safe because they are FDA-approved, people who think chronic symptoms after dental work are just “normal.” 

The documentary will plant seeds of awareness that could change the trajectory of their health. And that is exactly the kind of change Dr. Mora believes the industry desperately needs.
