During a global pandemic, Dr. Vincent Buscemi was done.

After years of traditional dentistry—graduating from dental school and building his practice—he found himself at a turning point. He was frustrated with the level of care he could offer his patients and knew he needed a change.

When the pandemic gave him some unexpected downtime, Dr. Buscemi took the opportunity to explore new possibilities. What he discovered transformed not only his career but also the lives of his patients as he ventured into the world of biomimetic and holistic dentistry.

Join Dr. Clayton as he and Dr. Buscemi dive into their personal journeys in disrupting the dental industry and finding their passion in both biomimetic dentistry and in holistic/functional dentistry. 

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how two holistic-minded dentists talk about the research on touchy subjects like orthodontics for young kids, oil pulling, and dental insurance.
