Bioesthetic Dentistry is a principle-based biomechanical and biological approach to restorative dentistry that seeks to restore optimal function and sustain the lasting natural beauty of the teeth, smile, and face. Bioesthetics® considers the face, lips, mouth, jaw joints, jawbones and skull, nerves, muscles, tongue, and airway more than just separate individual parts but as a collective whole called the Chewing System. 

 “Bioesthetics® is the study or theory of the beauty of living things in their natural forms and function”
Robert L. Lee, MS, DDS

Observational research by Dr. Robert L. Lee, MS, DDS revealed that individuals with unworn teeth, healthy bites, and stable jaw joints working together in chewing harmony sustained the natural beauty and function of their teeth for a lifetime. Based on his findings of nature’s design, known as the Biologic Health Model, Dr. Lee developed a treatment concept called Bioesthetics® engineered to establish an optimally functional harmony between all parts of the chewing system.

Bioesthetic Rejuvenation with EMax® crowns by Dr. Amy C. Madden Kinney, DDS

Since 2004, Drs. Kinney have incorporated Bioesthetic Dentistry as a foundational basis for all the restorative, cosmetic and advanced dental care they provide.  Unworn teeth in a healthy bite relationship working together with orthopedically stable temporomandibular joints provides efficient chewing, protection from premature unnatural tooth wear, and helps maintain the youthful appearance and lasting natural beauty of the teeth, smile and face.   The goal of Bioesthetic Dentistry is to establish biomechanical harmony to the chewing system and restore your teeth to their optimal shape and relationship – resulting in a healthy, functional, youthful, and naturally beautiful smile.
