What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is an innovative approach that involves understanding how a natural tooth functions and working to replicate that. As a biomimetic dentist, Dr. Roth works to preserve and avoid damaging your original tooth structures.

Traditional dentistry tends to strip away a significant amount of healthy tooth structure to place restorations, which can frequently lead to needing a root canal treatment or, over time, even losing teeth. Using advanced restorative treatments in a minimally invasive manner, we can often avoid traditional porcelain tooth crowns and root canal therapy. Instead, we opt for porcelain onlays and fillings using biocompatible materials that look and feel natural and can last many years.

Benefits of Biomimetic Dentistry

The primary benefit of biomimetic dentistry is its ability to preserve and restore your teeth in a way that closely resembles their natural strength and function. When you visit our office, you can expect us to do everything we can to save as much of your tooth structure as possible. Some additional benefits of biomimetic dentistry include:

Greater longevity of natural teeth: The focus on preserving your natural teeth leads to less grinding, 80% fewer root canal procedures, and fewer lost teeth.
Less invasive approach: Biomimetic dentistry conserves healthy tooth structure by only removing damaged or decayed areas. This approach helps maintain the strength and integrity of your tooth.
More comfortable: Because we work to preserve healthy tooth structure, there is frequently less work required, making it more comfortable for the patient and often resulting in shorter treatment times and faster recovery.
Stronger bond: Advanced bonding technology enables restorations to bond securely to the tooth, creating a strong and long-lasting connection. These bonding techniques also help seal the tooth, reducing the risk of further decay and damage. Additionally, because more natural tooth structure is saved, the restoration has more surface area to bond with.
Biocompatible materials: Our goal is to provide patients with fillings and porcelain restorations that are asymptomatic by using advanced materials that closely mimic the natural composition of teeth. This also results in natural-looking restorations that become an aesthetically pleasing part of your smile.

FAQs About Biomimetic Dentistry

When searching for a dentist who can support your natural smile, it's typical to have questions. Our team is not just here to perform quality dental services but to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Some common questions we receive about biomimetic dentistry include:

How long do biomimetic dentistry restorations last?

Biomimetic dentistry restorations have been shown to last 20 years or more with appropriate patient care. This care includes regular brushing, flossing, and biannual dental appointments where we can monitor the health of your smile.

What is the difference between a biomimetic composite dental filling and a traditional filling?

The primary difference between biomimetic and traditional fillings is the materials used and how they are applied. Biomimetic fillings use materials that closely resemble natural teeth, such as composite resin, as opposed to amalgam or other metals, which are less biocompatible.

What types of dental problems can biomimetic dentistry treat?

Biomimetic dentistry can address a wide range of dental issues, including cavities, cracks, fractures, and chips. It can also be used for cosmetic enhancements, such as correcting tooth discoloration. You can expect our team to be honest and upfront about how our biomimetic services can work for your particular situation.
