Dr. David Fyffe earned a B.A. in Chemistry from Texas Tech and a D.D.S. from The University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston. Since graduating in 1983, Dr. Fyffe has done an extensive amount of exodontia, referring out only the more complex impacted third molar cases. Over the years, he has experimented with all types of instruments and surgical techniques but became frustrated with instruments that were ill-adapted for their purpose. Dr Fyffe was awarded his first patent in 1994 for Capture Forceps– a pediatric size forceps designed to reduce the possibility of “popping” during extractions of children’s teeth. His next invention was the TempOff– an instrument specifically designed to tackle the ever-increasingly difficult task of temporary crown removal. David started selling his instruments to fellow dentists at trade shows, and eventually started his own company, Art Craft Dental Inc. His instruments are now used all around the world and featured in many publications including “Inside my Practice,” and “Dentaltown.” David currently runs both Artcraft Dental and his own practice and resides in Dallas, Texas with his Wife and his dog, Bruno.
