Traditional Dentistry vs. Biomimetic Dentistry

What is Biomimetic Dentistry

Translated literally, biomimetic dentistry means to copy what is life-like from nature. Biomimetic dentistry is tooth preservation and dental conservation dentistry. Unlike traditional dentistry, our biomimetic approach focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Instead of drilling down teeth, we work to rebuild and protect them during the restoration process.
Biomimetic Dentistry creates dental work that imitates the natural teeth as closely as possible. We use carefully selected materials and the latest science, technology, and techniques to produce incredible dental work. Nature has provided the most successful and ideal properties to our natural teeth. Now it is possible to rebuild teeth with materials that simulate natural teeth much more closely and hold up better to constant chewing.

  • Next Generation Dentistry

  • Tooth conserving dentistry that treats only the damaged tooth & decay. The final restoration is bonded to the existing & healthy natural tooth substance.

  • Relies on advanced adhesive protocols which bonds/glues teeth back together and even adds missing tooth reliably without removing volumes of precious tooth structure.

  • Tooth gains strength

  • Seals the tooth from bacterial invasion

  • Stronger, healthier, longer-lasting tooth

  • Minimizes root canals by 90-95%

  • No Sensitivity

  • True to life Aesthetics

  • Patients are super happy

  • Lower long-term costs

Biomimetic Dentistry has practically eliminated cutting teeth down. This has mostly eliminated the need for painful and destructive crowns and root canal treatment with its associated pins, posts, slots, grooves, and other non-adhesive retention features.

Traditional Dentistry vs. Biomimetic Dentistry

Traditional Dentistry

  • 100+-year-old methods

  • Sacrifices/destroys healthy tooth structure in order to accommodate a new restoration.

  • Relies on outdated macro mechanical retention such as placing pins, posts, slots, grooves, and other non-adhesive retention features.

  • Tooth is weakened

  • No bacterial seal

  • Weaker tooth

  • Higher chance of root canals

  • Higher chance of sensitivity

  • Less or non-aesthetic results

  • Higher treatment Costs
