Dentistry |
Bioesthetic dentistry developed
from study of the beauty of living things in their natural
forms and functions.It’s based on scientific research of
exceptional, natural dentitions where little or no dental
repair has been needed to preserve the teeth. In these
mouths, teeth are unworn and they provide excellent esthetics,
function, comfort, and longevity. An 85 year
old person may have the smile of someone 20-30 years
younger. Thus, as chronological age
progresses into maturity, dental age remains young and
vibrant.
Bioesthetic dentistry is a conservative
approach for restoring teeth to natural form and function. It
regards the mouth, lips, smile, and face as a collective
structure (system) rather than individual units.
Bioesthetics is a recreative art. The goal of treatment is to
imitate natural chewing systems that have proven stable over a
lifetime. There is a biological basis for tooth position and
form with the following
goals: | |
- Stable, unstrained jaw position
with the lower jaw fully seated in the upper jaw socket.
- Proper overlap (overbite) of the front
teeth so they can guide and protect back teeth during jaw
movements-chewing, talking, swallowing, and smiling.
- The teeth fit together (bite
relationship) when the jaw is in a stable postion.
- Unworn, sharp back teeth.
- The natural bioesthetic shape
and form of the teeth is maintained.

When your the
teeth don't fit together properly:
|
-
Your
bite is out of balance.
-
Teeth
begin a slow or rapid breakdown of cracking, breaking,
and wearing away from abnormal biting
forces.
-
Sometimes teeth become loose or
sensitive.
-
Your
teeth, jawbone, and face age
prematurely. | |

We can't stop normal aging of the
oral structures. However, complete dental treatment
corrects the cause of any instability, abnormal stress,
or deterioration so that equilibrium of the chewing
system is maintained. Beauty and symmetry of the lips
and facial expressions is preserved, and optimal health
and comfort of the smile can be
maintained. Learn more at www.bioesthetics.com
