Metal-Free, Patient-First: Why Dr. Sammy Noumbissi Belongs in “Bye Ol’ Dentistry”

Dr. Sammy Noumbissi’s career reflects a rare balance of innovation, science, and patient-centered care. As a pioneer in ceramic and metal-free implantology, his work has reshaped how dentistry approaches biocompatibility and long-term oral health. Now, his expertise and vision will be featured in the upcoming documentary “Bye Ol’ Dentistry,” where his story joins those of global leaders transforming the future of oral care.

Produced by Lolli Brands Entertainment, the award-winning team behind “Biohack Yourself,” “Bye Ol’ Dentistry” blends powerful patient narratives with expert insights to expose the hidden risks of outdated practices and spotlight safer, biologically driven solutions. The film’s mission is clear: to show that oral health is inseparable from whole-body wellness and to inspire a new era of dentistry rooted in trust, health, and vitality

A Visionary in Ceramic Implantology

Dr. Sammy Noumbissi, DDS, MS, is not just a dentist; he’s a visionary forging a new path in dental implantology. Armed with a DDS from Howard University (1998) and an MSc in Implant Surgery (2005) from Loma Linda University, he has spent more than a decade perfecting the art and science of ceramic (metal-free) dental implants.

At the core of his practice is a profound belief: oral health and overall well-being are inseparable. Specializing solely in implant surgery at Miles of Smiles Implant Dentistry, he harnesses advanced technologies—lasers, 3D imaging, ozone therapy, ceramic implants—to deliver transformative, biocompatible care. 

Yet Dr. Noumbissi is more than a practitioner; he’s a teacher and advocate. 

He is an academic, a clinician and has authored book chapters and multiple scientific and clinical articles in the field of ceramic implants. He is also a visiting professor at the University of Milan, adjunct professor at the University of Chieti-Pescara in Italy, and a visiting researcher in the ceramic materials department at INSA Lyon in France.

Building the World’s First Ceramic Implant Network

In 2009, Dr. Noumbissi founded the first association in the world dedicated to biological and metal-free implant dentistry. The International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI.com) created a platform for peer education when mainstream implant organizations resisted ceramic alternatives. Through lectures, research, and editorial contributions, he’s shifted the academic discourse and inspired a generation of practitioners to embrace safe, aesthetic, and non-metallic implant options for teeth replacement.

In his journey, a single patient request for ceramic implants in his practice catalyzed a revolution. When asked for metal-free implants in 2009, Dr. Noumbissi embraced the challenge, dedicating years to mastering ceramic techniques and helping others understand their value. Today, he cautions against merely transplanting titanium designs into ceramic systems—a practice that jeopardizes implant integrity and affects long-term outcomes. Instead, he promotes innovation rooted in biomechanics, surface science, material-specific implant design and true biocompatibility.

Bringing Biological Dentistry to the World Stage

“Bye Ol’ Dentistry” is more than a documentary—it’s a movement. Produced by Anthony and TereZa Lolli, the film brings together global experts and real patient stories to show how oral health directly impacts systemic wellness. By spotlighting safe, biologically driven alternatives, it aims to educate the public, influence policymakers, and inspire a shift toward dentistry that heals the whole body

“Bye Ol’ Dentistry” seeks to unearth the depth of biological, holistic dental care, featuring professionals who blend expertise with patient-first ideals. Including Dr. Noumbissi would bring both legitimacy and humanity to the narrative. He embodies the ideal of a practitioner who listens, learns, and leads—turning dental care into a healing art.

His global footprint—from Europe to the Middle East, to South America to the U.S.—ensures the documentary's message resonates internationally. His academic and clinical reach demonstrates the feasibility and future of holistic implant practice.

In a film aiming to say “bye to old dentistry,” there’s no stronger advocate than Dr. Sammy Noumbissi. His story is not merely about upgrading materials, it’s about uplifting patients, empowering practitioners, and evolving dentistry toward trust, health, and harmony.
