Bioesthetic dentistry is a process that accepts optimal biologic form as the basis for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. Optimal biologic form is the term that dentists trained in the principles and techniques of bioesthetics use to describe healthy, beautiful, unworn, and highly functional mastication systems. Contrary to most breakthroughs, which have been technical, this subject demands attention to “discovery” over “invention.” Although an ideal biologic system goal is rare in the health arts, Bioesthetic dentistry has one. As the discovery process evolves, the qualities of optimal health biology continue to be clarified.
Bioesthetic dentistry is a logical path to identifying and helping patients with dentitions in need. It takes the long-term approach to diagnosis and treatment. Skillful diagnosis is not only about what is happening now, but what will happen 10, 20, and 30 years from now. A thorough understanding of the principles, guidelines, and techniques that Bioesthetic dentistry offers enables dentists to deliver a level of care that is truly exceptional and enduring. Bioesthetic dentistry challenges the disease-based treatments of the status quo and teaches that patients with naturally healthy dentitions hold the answers. With bioesthetic education and training, the clinician can accurately diagnose and treat each willing patient with optimal dental system health as the goal
