Portrait of Dr. Richard Stevenson, clinician, educator, and founder of Stevenson Dental Solutions.

SCIENTIST – MENTOR

Dr. Richard Stevenson is a general dentist whose work bridges clinical excellence, dental education, and innovation. Specializing in occlusion, esthetics, and gold restorations, he is widely regarded as a “dentist’s dentist”— trusted by patients and peers alike for his precision, judgment, and consistency.

Beyond private practice, Dr. Stevenson is the inventor of several dental instruments used by students and practitioners worldwide. His commitment to advancing the profession extends into education, where he mentors dentists through lectures, publications, study clubs, online education, bench courses, ADEX preparation, and continuing education programs.

Driven by a belief that quality oral healthcare should be accessible to all, Dr. Stevenson founded the Stevenson Dental Foundation (SDF). Through community outreach, dental career education, and research initiatives, the foundation addresses oral health disparities and works to improve the delivery of care.

At every level—clinical, educational, and philanthropic—Dr. Stevenson’s mission is the same elevate standards, mentor with intention, and deliver outcomes that hold up under the highest evaluation.

Educator to Dentists Worldwide

Dr. Stevenson is known not only for his depth of knowledge but for the way he teaches it. His instruction is clear, structured, and often infused with humor and wit—tools he uses intentionally to make complex concepts
intuitive and memorable. By relating technical principles to everyday experiences, he helps students grasp ideas quickly and retain them long after the course ends.

He makes complex concepts simple—and unforgettable.

Students often remark that a single hour of instruction with Dr. Stevenson delivers more clarity than years of formal training. His ability to distill evaluation criteria, technique, and judgment into simple, repeatable concepts leaves a lasting impression—one that continues to guide decision-making throughout a dentist’s career.

One hour of instruction that stays with you for a career.

By creating an engaging, supportive learning environment, Dr. Stevenson makes high standards approachable. His teaching balances rigor with relatability, ensuring that students not only understand what is expected but also feel confident applying those lessons under real-world and exam conditions.

Teaching to the Standard of Evaluation

Bench exams—and U.S. dental school practicals—reward consistency more than isolated results. Dr. Stevenson trains candidates to understand the “why” behind each requirement and to build a method that holds up under
time pressure and objective grading criteria.

Consistency is not talent—it’s a system.

Rather than practicing in isolation, students learn how evaluators assess reduction, clearance, finish lines, anatomy, and overall form. The goal is to reduce guesswork, eliminate common point-loss patterns, and make
performance repeatable across multiple attempts.

Don’t just prepare the tooth. Prepare for the evaluation.

This approach sharpens technique and clinical judgment at the same time—so dentists leave with a clearer framework for self-assessment, faster correction cycles, and results that translate to both exam settings and
real patient care.

Mentorship That Sharpens Clinical Judgment

Some of the most meaningful learning happens in moments of close observation and guided correction. Dr. Stevenson works side by side with students at the bench, helping them recognize the subtle details
that separate acceptable work from excellent outcomes.

Confidence comes from knowing what matters—and why.

Through direct, hands-on mentorship, students learn how to evaluate their own preparations with greater clarity. Rather than relying on trial and error, they are guided to see their work through the lens of an
examiner—understanding what matters, where points are commonly lost, and how small adjustments can significantly improve results.

This approach builds confidence and clinical judgment simultaneously. By learning how to assess work objectively and make corrections in real time, dentists develop skills that extend beyond exams and into
long-term, thoughtful practice.
