Our main focus of biomimetic dentistry is to save the healthy tissue of the tooth, fill the cavity with materials that bond with and act like the original tooth, and avoid root canals and crowns.
What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry is dental care using minimally invasive methods that preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible! Biomimetic dental care is healthier for your teeth and longer lasting because more natural tooth remains, and the materials used to restore your teeth mimic nature. The goal of biomimetic dentistry is to restore teeth with cavities or cracks to their natural strength and structure. Restoring a tooth in this way blocks the bacteria that creates cavities from entering, prevents cracks, and preserves the vitality of the nerve. Biomimetic restorations have been shown to last for many years without pain or sensitivity.
Advantages of Biomimetic Dentistry
- Minimally invasive: When a tooth needs a restoration, the decay is removed and the missing parts are replaced with materials that are hard enough to function under pressure like enamel with multiple stress reducing layers acting like a shock absorber, just like the natural dentin of the tooth.
- Advanced gold standard bonding system: The tooth is sealed to protect the nerve which prevents symptoms like pain and sensitivity and preserves the vitality of the tooth. The tooth is then restored with materials that mimic nature to connect the tooth front to back, side to side, and top to bottom restoring the tooth’s natural flexibility and strength.
- Less sensitivity: The modern adhesives we use combined with our advanced techniques, modern equipment, and biomimetic materials mean you’ll experience little to no post operative sensitivity.
