A hard drinking dentist, with bad teeth, from Sweden, who installed Duo's gold teeth; did you find this dentist on Yelp Duo? I can't tell if you had a really great time with this dentist or are just being really hard on him?
A hard drinking dentist doesn't need to use anesthetics. He can put patient into sleep by breathing into his face.
"My dentist drinks too much" should be accepted. In English, that it is alcohol is implied.

My question is the reverse: "Mein Zahnarzt trinkt zu viel" ... Native German speakers, would this imply alcohol?
Nope for the lack of context, especially if children learning German with this app.
I'm doing a root canal on a green owl. Hmm, I think I'll have a few drinks first.
Und das warüm hat er schlechte Zähne als du vor das in einer anderen satz schon gesagt
I know I said it right and you showed it as incorrect! This happens too often.

I was marked wrong with "My dentist drinks too much"... in English we don't have to say the word "alcohol", and people already know. Am I not right?
No, that would be "trinkt viel Alkohol," not "trinkt zu viel Alkohol."
