Welcome to OBI Foundation

“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 had revealed to Robert L. Lee that individuals with a healthy, highly functional and unworn chewing system do exist, and that this nearly perfect functional state goes hand in hand with natural beauty. Based on his findings, he developed a treatment concept that aims at establishing a perfect harmony between all parts of the chewing system, known as optimal biologic form.

His findings form the foundation for the curriculum of the OBI Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry that offers comprehensive dental training and education for general dentists, specialists and dental technicians who want to practice Bioesthetic Dentistry.


OBI FOUNDATION for Bioesthetic Dentistry® is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider.   ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education.  ADA CERP does not approve or endorse individual activities or instructors, nor does it imply acceptance of credit hours by boards of dentistry.  OBI Foundation designates activites individually for specific continuing education hours which are noted with the description of each course.

Comments from Level II: Bioesthetic Diagnosis graduates

"This was a greatly rewarding and intense educational weekend that gave me a much greater insight
on diagnosing occlusal problems and learning how to predictably manage them. I feel a lot more
comfortable and much more equipped going back to the office ready to help my patients achieve
optimum health." 
Mary Jean, O, DDS

"Outstanding hands-on training for any dentist who wants to help patients get healthy and stay healthy
by preserving their teeth and their smiles."  
Howard D, DDS

"In order to achieve a level of knowledge and skill in treatments, one needs to work hard.  More
importantly, getting the education to move along this journey is paramount.  OBI is truly a place that I
know I will learn correctly." 
Matthew G, DDS

"I am so thankful I had the oppportunity to attend Level II and seeing the impact of the B-MAGO on facial
structures almost immediately was amazing.  Thanks to our great instructors who made it possible." 

Lyly F, DDS

Comments from Level IV: Advanced Bioesthetic Rejuvenation graduate

"Can’t wait to resume our journey together. After just a few years with OBI, Bioesthetic dentistry has become
a significant part of my life and my practice. As we look back on our lives, many of our regrets are not so much
regarding things we have done, but are actually regrets regarding things we have not done. One of my few
regrets is that I delayed mastering Bioesthetics as long as I did. My advice to anyone who is serious  about helping
their patients get healthy and stay healthy: make the commitment to learn and apply the knowledge provided
by this outstanding organization. It has opened my eyes in many ways to help engage and uplift my team,
my patients and everyone I care about." 
  
Dr Howard D.


PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear OBI Family,

As we embark on another exciting year, I am filled with gratitude for the unwavering support and dedication that each of you brings to our mission. Together, we are poised to continue the digital evolution of our workflows while staying true to the foundational principles of Bioesthetics that guide us.

This collaborative approach will not only elevate our teaching but also expand the reach of Bioesthetics across the globe.

As we move forward, let us remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence, innovation, and compassion in patient care. Together, we will make significant strides in advancing the practice of Bioesthetic dentistry, ensuring that our student doctors receive and educational experience that opens their minds and keeps the lights on, while our patients benefit from the best that our profession has to offer.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue to shape the future of Bioesthetics.

Warm regards,

Dr. Michael Edwards
