Early History — The Lee Institute

Bioesthetic Dentistry was founded in the clinical research and practice of Robert L. Lee, D.D.S., culminating from his concept of biologic occlusion. He originated the word bioesthetics and defined it as: “Bioesthetics is the study or theory of the beauty of living things in their natural forms and functions.”

Dr. Lee graduated from Loma Linda School of Dentistry in 1959. in Bacteriology and Public Health. Dr. Lee held memberships in many professional societies, to name a few: O.K.U., American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, International Academy of Gnathology, and American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics. Lee, DDS

He was also a Fellow in the International College of Dentists and was an Associate Professor of Restorative Dentistry at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Dr. and Mrs. Lee founded the Lee Institute for Oral Bioesthetics and Functions, and helped Dr. Charles Wold with the formation of Orognathic Bioesthetics, Inc., the Institute for Comprehensive Oral Diagnosis and Rehabilitation. OBI remains the exclusive source for teaching the clinical applications of Bioesthetic Dentistry. The Lee Institute will continue as a library and repository of educational material and articles on Bioesthetic Dentistry, with emphasis on Dr. Lee’s research and teachings. Orognathic Bioesthetics International, Inc. Lee encouraged Charles R. Wold, DMD to form a new institute, sanctioned by Dr. Lee, to be the exclusive source for teaching the clinical applications of Bioesthetic Dentistry. In 1994, Dr. Wold founded Orognathic Bioesthetics, Inc.. After Dr. Lee’s death, Mrs. Lee gave OBI access to Dr. Lee’s archives, writings, and publications. Dr. Wold defined Orognathic Bioesthetics as: ”a process that accepts biologic form as the basis for comprehensive functional diagnosis and rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system.”

A faculty of experienced dentists and lab technicians was formed, primarily with Lee Institute graduates. Wold, DMD

From cowboy hats and photo booth fun to showing off our best moves on the dance floor, the evening was all about celebrating the incredible people who make the OBI community so special.

❤️ **Because OBI is more than continuing education—it's a community of colleagues, mentors, and lifelong friends!**

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us and helped make the President's Dinner such a memorable evening. The connections we build outside the classroom are just as meaningful as the knowledge we gain inside it!

What makes OBI different?

It's not just the curriculum. It's not just the cases. It's not just the science.

It's the experience.

The conversations that continue after class. The relationships built with like-minded clinicians. The shared passion for learning, growth, and providing the highest level of care possible.

OBI brings together a community of professionals who challenge one another, support one another, and inspire one another to think differently about dentistry.

For many participants, the education is transformative—but the connections made along the way are equally unforgettable.

👉 Join the OBI community and discover why so many graduates describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
