OBI’s Core Curriculum of Dental Bioesthetics
Completion of the core curriculum of Dental Bioesthetics is an unparalleled educational experience for the dentist and/or lab technician who are interested in offering the highest level of comprehensive care possible to their patient and or client. No other continuing education program in dentistry requires the student to successfully complete two cases and to present their completed case upon graduation of the program. We pride ourselves on being the only occlusion-based teaching institution that offers a 4 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio with true hands-on education. Our educational experience also includes the magic of mentorship. Each student is guided by an experienced, caring faculty member through the completion of their chosen case.
Students who graduate from the OBI curriculum have the knowledge and tools they require to successfully diagnose and treat all types of complex dental challenges with confidence.
Core Curriculum
Our training program is designed to guide dental professionals and technicians through the entire Bioesthetic process, from diagnosis to advanced rejuvenation. Every graduate completes and presents two patient cases.
