It is designed for experienced dentists who intend to revolutionise Dentistry and Health Care using the most advanced technology and techniques available on the market to heal the body, starting with the mouth. The Residency is held only 2 times a year for only one participant at a time, for a full immersive experience.

Unique experience at a world leading biological dentistry centre

White Clinic is a world recognised leading dental centre focused on Advanced Biological Comprehensive Dentistry. Transforming smiles and improving lives for over 24 years in Lisbon, Portugal. Founded by Dr. Miguel Stanley, one of the top 100 dentists in the world, the medical team uses the latest science and digital technology to go beyond treating just teeth, also reaching the immune system and systemic health, in order to boost overall health and longevity. Using technology as its main ally for innovative solutions, applied to more complete, stress-free, pain-free and effective dental treatments. All this while building amazing smiles with state-of-the-art digital technologies and an in-house laboratory with master ceramists.

For experienced dentists only

The Advanced Biological Dentistry Residency is for experienced dentists only, who want to help change the paradigm that the mouth is separate from the body.

A minimum 5 years of clinical experience is mandatory to attend this unique program. At least one post-graduate degree and proof of publications in scientific journals, as well as belonging to more than one scientific organisation as an active member. We will also favour those that are educators and have extensive experience with digital technologies.

A license to practice will not be required for this residency as it will be observational only. Learning the method is what matters most and that is why experience matters.

This program occurs only twice a year. The Residency committee selects only 1 candidate per program and there is a long waiting list.

We understand that Systemic Health is connected to Oral Health.

Blood test prescription and interpreting results

Diagnostics is essential to outlining a proper treatment plan and the starting point is a blood test – knowledge regarding blood indicators and how to interpret them is crucial and the most precise way to comprehend if there are imbalances in the body that could be contributing to the root cause of the health problem at hand. Our resident will also understand that this is a vital tool for evaluating changes and improvements before and after dental surgery.

ART (Autonomic Response Testing)

ART is a meticulous and highly effective diagnostic technique that allows the detection of the real cause of illness, disturbances in the body, allergies and their entry points. As the resident will learn, this biological protocol is key to establishing a suitable and cause-related treatment for the patient, who benefits from a biological solution for understanding symptoms and underlying health issues. The resident will have the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Ana Paz once again.
