Biomimetic Dentistry
Have the Smile you’ve always wanted with Biomimetic Dentistry
Anyone who has experienced a painful, invasive dental procedure will understand the fear and anxiety that traditional dentistry can create. But there is a more natural, preventative, less painful, and cost-effective approach called biomimetic dentistry that is fast growing in popularity.
What’s the Difference Between Traditional Dentistry and Biomimetic Dentistry?
When your tooth becomes fractured or is decaying, it becomes more vulnerable to severe problems like infection, cavities, and tooth loss. What most people don’t know is that when you go to a traditional dentist, the conventional dental procedures they use can compromise the structure of your teeth through extensive cutting and drilling of your natural tooth structure.
This is because traditional dentistry procedures require the dentist to cut-out not just the damaged and decayed parts of your tooth, but also some of the healthy parts of your tooth structure in order to make room for traditional metal fillings, crowns, and root canals.
These traditional and very invasive dental procedures used by most dentists are not the best solution to treat your teeth because they will eventually result in cracks and fractures that will lead to bacterial infections and your teeth becoming destroyed from decay.
What’s So Great About Biomimetic Dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry is a natural and conservative approach to dental care that provides long-lasting results. Unlike traditional dentistry, it allows you to restore your broken and decayed teeth without having to go through painful, expensive, and invasive dental procedures. The best part is, the specialized biomimetic dental procedures we use here at Amy H. See, DDS will preserve your natural, healthy tooth structure with dental restorations that mimic the look, function, and strength of your natural teeth.
Biomimetic dentistry uses more precise techniques and advanced technology to keep your teeth restorations strong, healthy, and resilient to bacteria. The main goal of biomimetic dentistry is to return your damaged and broken teeth back to their original strength, function, and appearance.
How Does Biomimetic Dentistry Benefit Me?
The goal of Biomimetic Dentistry is to save as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible by using dental procedures that will not damage your surrounding healthy teeth. This is because biomimetic dentistry dramatically reduces the need to remove your natural teeth by destroying the healthy parts of your tooth to make room for crowns, root canals, and other procedures.
But that’s not all. Biomimetic dentistry will not only give you a natural-looking dental restoration that has long-lasting results, but it will also eliminate invasive dental procedures that can be:
Painful
Very Costly and Expensive
Time-consuming
Biomimetic techniques are typically cheaper, quicker, and less painful than the more traditional alternatives that are available. Traditional dental procedures tend to have more long-term damaging effects that will cost you more time and money to fix over time. Not to mention you will have the devastating effect of permanent tooth loss because it requires more of your natural teeth to be destroyed and removed.
With biomimetic dentistry, you won’t have to worry about any of these issues. That’s because it takes a ‘less is more’ approach. Your broken and damaged teeth problems will be corrected through a minimalist approach that removes only the damaged and decayed parts of your teeth, and your final restoration will be fully bonded to your healthy natural tooth structure.
Not only will your beautiful smile be restored back to its most natural state, but biomimetic restorations will last much longer than traditional dental teeth restorations which means you will save a lot of time and money from unnecessary costly dental procedures.
