Bioesthetic Dentistry
Bioesthetic Dentistry is a more holistic approach to dentistry that attempts to diagnose and treat the causes of tooth wear and other chewing system problems, rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Bioesthetic Dentistry can alleviate problems that affect the mouth, jaw, neck, head and adjacent structures. The OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry explains it nicely:
“Bioesthetic Dentistry is a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to restoring health to the entire chewing system. It regards the teeth, jaw joints, bones, nerves, muscles, lips, tongue, mouth and the face as a collective system rather than individual parts. Equilibrium between all these oral structures allows the creation of a natural, youthful looking smile and promotes the maintenance of a healthy chewing system that will provide a lifetime of optimal comfort, function and beauty.”
Bioesthetic Dentistry can address problems as varied as worn teeth, grinding and clenching, difficulty chewing, and sore jaws and joints. We will analyze your teeth and your bite and treat your mouth as a complete system. Of course, we will ensure that your smile is bright and straight, but the real benefits lie elsewhere: by adjusting your teeth to align in the position most natural for your specific jaw, we can alleviate stress and neck pain and relax the entire facial musculature.
The effects are profound. In addition to a beautiful smile, Bioesthetic treatment can result in something akin to a non-surgical face lift. Patients who undergo the therapy have wider, more relaxed smiles, their eyes are more open at rest, and their faces gain a more youthful, healthier tone.
