Overview
About OBI
At OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry®, we believe dentistry should reflect the wisdom of biology and the clarity of purpose. That’s why we’re here, to guide dental professionals through a deeper understanding of the chewing system and help you practice with more confidence, clarity, and fulfillment.
We are more than a continuing education provider. We are a nonprofit foundation committed to advancing biologic dentistry through hands-on mentorship, immersive learning, and a global network of support.
Whether you’re new to Bioesthetics® or ready to take your training to the next level, OBI offers a path that is rooted in nature and designed for lasting impact.
Who We Are
OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry® is a nonprofit teaching organization founded on the biologic principles discovered by Dr. Robert L. Lee. Our global faculty includes clinicians, educators, and lab technicians united by a shared belief: when you honor nature’s design, everything changes.
We serve dental professionals and technicians around the world who want to move beyond single-tooth dentistry and embrace a comprehensive, biologically sound approach to diagnosis and treatment. With a mentor-guided curriculum and a supportive alumni network, OBI is a place where clinicians grow, and where fulfillment, precision, and purpose come back into focus.
Why We’re Here
At OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry®, everything we do begins with one purpose: to help you see differently. The three gifts from Dr. Lee, the gift of sight (seeing the natural model, contrast is the essence of vision), The gift of the principles, and finally the gift of the foundation).
We guide dental professionals into a deeper understanding of the chewing system so you can diagnose with clarity, treat with confidence, and deliver biologic care that truly lasts. This isn’t just about clinical improvement, it’s about restoring fulfillment to your work and helping you find direction, satisfaction, and purpose again.
We’re here to walk that journey with you, and to help you do the kind of dentistry you’ve always wanted to do. We exist to guide dental professionals into a deeper understanding of the chewing system so they can deliver biologic, predictable, and comprehensive care with confidence.
We Help Dentists See Differently
Our purpose is to shift how clinicians think, diagnose, and plan away from symptom-driven patchwork and toward biologic harmony.
We Offer Mentorship That Transforms
We believe personal guidance creates breakthroughs. When dental professionals have mentors, they gain clarity, courage, and community.
We Restore Fulfillment to Dentistry
Our students often come to us after years of feeling stuck. OBI helps them find joy, direction, and deep satisfaction in their work again.
What We Believe
At OBI, we believe that great dentistry begins with a deep respect for nature and a clear commitment to doing what works, not just what’s trending. Our five Pillars are more than teaching points. They’re the foundation of how we see, how we teach, and how we help you grow as a clinician. If these resonate with you, you’re in the right place. We believe dentistry should reflect the beauty and wisdom of nature. These are the five foundational pillars that shape every part of who we are and how we teach.
Natural Form
We believe that a healthy smile is a sign of harmony within the body. Our approach restores the biologic architecture of the chewing system for beauty that reflects nature’s intent.
Optimal Function
We believe in precision and predictability. Bioesthetic treatment follows a blueprint, a biologic plan that delivers long-lasting results and complete health.
Discovery
We believe in showing, not just telling. Our hands-on training creates “aha” moments and meaningful growth through guided learning and mentorship.
Community
We believe that dentistry is better together. We are a lifelong network of clinicians who collaborate, support, and inspire each other to keep it growing.
Natural Beauty
We believe nature got it right. When you follow biologic principles, the results are beautiful, on the surface and below.
What We Do
We provide immersive, principle-based training that empowers dental professionals to diagnose and treat the whole chewing system, not just the symptoms.
Our curriculum includes core clinical training courses and two laboratory courses. We are the only Bioesthetic education program that requires students to complete and present real patient cases for graduation. This residency-style model ensures every participant gains experience, mentorship, and clarity that lasts a lifetime.
Continued Engagement
OBI also offers vibrant community engagement through our annual conference and ongoing professional growth through the supportive network of Academy Membership.
Thriving Dental Careers
Our graduates go on to lead patient-centered practices where outcomes are predictable, dentistry is biologic and beautiful, careers are deeply fulfilling, and patients become raving fans.
