Geneva Dental Institute Education Division
The Geneva Dental Institute is an AGD and CDA approved Continuing Education facility.

Officially formed in the Spring of 1997, by Dr. Roy A. Smudde to educate dental professionals in the Geneva 2000™ Denture System.

• For improved Aesthetics This system features Environmental Gnathology and Dentogentic Concepts of Aesthetics.
• For improved Function Linear Occlusial technology is utilized.

These concepts and techniques were originally developed and taught, in the 1960's by Dr. John P. Frush at the Swissedent Foundation in Glendale, California. Dr. Frush used the same teeth and products now available and sold under the name Geneva 2000™.

More Natural Looking Dentures
Environmental Gnathology and Dentogentic Concepts of Aesthetics
The GENEVA 2000™ technique incorporates the concept of Premium Quality Denture Aesthetics, Which considers the sex, personality and age or (SPA factor) of the patient. After selecting the anterior teeth according to the SPA factor of the patient, natural tooth placement is emphasized considering the differences between masculine and feminine tooth set-up. Laboratories that have been certified and trained by the Geneva Dental Institute are experts at creating dentures with the proper length of the anterior teeth, a naturally curved smile line, natural buccal corridor and a wax matrix with proper tissue height and papilla length.

More Stable Lower Denture
Linear Occlusion is utilized when necessary for increased stability. In addition to increased stability and comfort of the masticatory system for typical denture patients, the GENEVA 2000 System also provides solutions for problem cases such as those with a flat or negative ridge. A Geneva trained and certified laboratory have the ability to trouble shoot the most complex of denture cases such as cross-bites, partial dentures, or negative ridge cases. These laboratories can even incorporate Geneva aesthetic and functional concepts in to their combination, implant and crown and bridge cases.
