INSIGHT

Function Before Aesthetics

Bioesthetic dentistry restores natural mouth form and function by balancing teeth, muscles, and joints.
Eniko Loud emphasizes function first, then aesthetics once the system is stable.

ADVICE

Stabilize The Bite First

Use a custom orthotic appliance to let muscles and joints find their balanced state before permanent restorations.
Verify repeatable jaw closure and stable motion before rebuilding teeth permanently.

ANECDOTE
