The Pursuit of Better Biological Dentistry
Better dentistry exists
This is what it looks like — the pursuit for more.
Where it began
My mom struggled with heart palpitations for years.
Cardiologists looked. Tests were run.
Nothing explained it, nothing fixed it.
I was early in my career, just beginning to understand that the mouth and the body are not separate systems — that what lives in the jaw, the teeth, the bone sends signals to the rest of the body whether we acknowledge it or not.
I came across a possible connection between unresolved oral pathology and what was happening in my mother's chest. I flew her to Texas to see one of my mentors. I needed to see it for myself. Her heart palpitations went away.
That was the moment I understood what this work actually was and how much further it could go. Everything since has been about going deeper, demanding more, and refusing to let the standard stay where I found it.
What follows is where that has taken me.
Swiss Dental Solutions & The JCCI
Swiss Dental Solutions is the global standard in ceramic implant systems and metal-free implantology.
The materials and surgical protocols behind the most advanced metal-free implantology practiced anywhere in the world. Their annual Joint Congress for Ceramic Implantology in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland draws the leading ceramic implantologists in the world.
In 2024, SDS named me a U.S. Ambassador— a designation for clinicians who help define where the field is heading in North America, not just where it's been.. That same year, I was invited by Dr. Ulrich Volz to speak. I've been back twice since, and the work continues.
When patients come to Vios for ceramic dental implants, they're being treated by someone who has been vetted, trained alongside, and trusted by the organization that built the global standard for ceramic implantology.
The Biodentistry Global Standard
Anyone can call themselves a biological dentist.
There is no standard, no governing body, no way for a patient to know whether the person across from them has spent a decade studying the oral-systemic connection — or simply swapped out their amalgam and updated their website.
That gap between what biological dentistry claims to be and what it actually demands — that's the problem Dr. Dominik Nischwitz decided to close. The BGS — the Biodentistry Global Standard — is a rigorous clinical framework that defines what biological dentistry means at the highest level. A select group of practitioners, working under Dr. Dome's direction, building the credential this field has always needed and never had.
I was invited to be part of it. The BGS isn't a credential you apply for — it's one you're called into when the work speaks loudly enough. Being a certified Real Biodentist means Vios has been recognized as part of what Dr. Dome calls Biodentistry 3.0 — the next evolution of this field, where the standard finally catches up to what the science has been telling us for years.
This is where the profession is going.
We're already there.

Biological dentistry is gaining ground.
Training at Vios
Biological dentistry is the future standard of care.
Insurance-driven practices will tell you how to run your office. Burned-out dentists will tell you what's realistic. People who settled will tell you to lower your expectations. People who never left the conventional model will defend it. Those who couldn't make biological dentistry work will tell you it doesn't work.
Be careful who gets your ear.
The advice you take will shape the practice you build.
The gap between where dentistry is and where it needs to be will not close on its own. It closes when more doctors are trained to think differently, diagnose more completely, and treat patients with the full picture in mind.
That is why we host biodentistry training at Vios.
Our courses are hands-on, small-group, and taught inside a working biological dental clinic.
You will learn surgical and biodentistry protocols, case selection, patient preparation, and the clinical reasoning behind each decision.
But this is not just about learning a procedure.
We believe doctors need to see the full picture — what works, what is difficult, what we have changed over time, and what we are still refining. We take an open-book approach because this kind of dentistry cannot grow through guarded information or surface-level training.
We cover what most courses skip: how to build a practice around this philosophy, how to have the hard patient conversations, how to prepare patients well, and how to make this kind of care sustainable without compromising why you came to it in the first place.
For doctors or teams looking for something more personalized, we also offer private one-on-one training built around your goals, your questions, your cases, and the kind of biological practice you are working to create.
If you think it's time to learn from people who have actually been there, who built what you're trying to build, who made the hard decisions and came out the other side still believing in the work — I'm here for it.
Bye Ol' Dentistry
Coming soon
Something is shifting in dentistry. Patients are arriving already knowing that the mouth is connected to the rest of the body, already questioning whether conventional care has been giving them the full picture. They're not wrong.
Biohack Yourself Media is producing a documentary called Bye Ol' Dentistry — a film about that shift, the practitioners who saw it coming, and the patients whose lives changed because someone decided to hold a higher bar.
The standard is rising. Come with us.
Biological dentistry is the future standard of care.
Biological dentistry is not about doing less. It's about demanding more — more from our understanding of the body, more from the evidence, more from ourselves as clinicians.
That's what this pursuit is. That's what my career is built on.
