The Lineage
of a Method.
A named methodology
FACE Dentistry™ is a named methodology developed over decades. It is not a procedure. It is not a veneer system. It is not cosmetic dentistry. It is a philosophy of facial architecture, where bite position becomes the structural foundation of facial balance.
Beginnings
rarely arrive
with certainty.
In the early 1990s porcelain was still largely untrusted. Few practitioners believed in it. A young Dr. Goodman chose to work with it anyway, completing formal training at the University of Aachen.
Magna Cum Laude · 1996
The methodology did not begin with confidence in a material.It began with curiosity about one.
Twenty-seven
years of
refinement.
Not success. Not reputation. Refinement. Bite. Occlusion. Facial balance. The temporomandibular joint. Gnathology. Prosthodontic precision, practised in a single Beverly Hills suite. What emerged was not a new procedure. It was a discipline that treated the face as a single architecture.

If decades were spent refining this methodology, what question was actually being asked?
It was never a criticism of surgery.
It was intellectual curiosity.
I kept asking why surgery was the only recommendation,until I understood it was the only tool most practitioners had.
Dr. Joseph Goodman, DDS, DMD · Founder, FACE Dentistry™
The questions that refused
to disappear
01
Why must patients commit before they know what another bite position feels like?
02
Why should irreversible treatment happen before understanding?
03
Why should permanent decisions precede experience of the result?
So what did he build instead?
A single principle,
held without exception.
Nothing permanent happens until the patient has understood, experienced, and approved the previous step.
I
Phase One · Preview
TMJtrac™
The beginning of certainty.
Patients experience their proposed bite position. They see the facial changes. They live with the correction, wear it in daily life, and evaluate it against their own reflection. Only when they approve does anything begin that cannot be undone.
II
Phase Two · Philosophy
F.A.C.E. METHOD™
The operating philosophy.
Facial aesthetics are never isolated from function. Upper third, middle third, lower third, all held in relationship by bite position. The visitor stops thinking about teeth and begins to see architecture.
Upper Third
Frame · Brow · Forehead
Middle Third
Cheek · Mid-face · Support
Lower Third
Bite · Jaw · Chin projection
III
Phase Three · Permanence
Class1 VENEERS™
Permanence, only after certainty.
Healthy tooth structure is preserved. The position already experienced and approved is secured. Permanence is not assumed here. It is earned by everything that came before it.
Nothing permanent happens
until the patient understands
and approves the outcome.
This is beyond cosmetic dentistry.
This is FACE Dentistry™.
