Biomimetic dentistry is revolutionizing the way we approach dental care by focusing on one essential goal: Preserving your natural teeth.
Traditional dentistry often requires drilling and removing parts of the tooth. However, biomimetic dentistry is a minimally invasive approach that mimics your teeth's natural structure and resilience.
At Aesthetic Dental Studio, Dr. Gordon Chee – whose restorative work has been featured in several respected dental publications – uses this method to help patients keep their teeth strong, healthy, and intact for years to come. Learn more about it below.
What is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry is a modern dental approach. It restores teeth by imitating their natural composition and function.
In biomimetic treatments, Dr. Chee uses advanced materials and bonding techniques that replicate the tooth's natural strength and elasticity. Rather than cutting away healthy tooth tissue to fit a crown or large filling, biomimetic techniques allow for precise bonding to the natural tooth. This preserves as much of its original structure as possible.
This approach reduces the need for future procedures. This is because the bonded material works in harmony with the tooth rather than placing strain on it.
By maintaining the tooth's integrity, biomimetic dentistry keeps it resilient. It also lessens the likelihood of cracks, breaks, and future decay.
Benefits of Biomimetic Dentistry for Natural Tooth Preservation
One of the primary benefits of biomimetic dentistry is its focus on saving the natural tooth. Here are a few ways it does this:
- Minimally Invasive Techniques: Biomimetic dentistry uses less drilling and fewer alterations to the tooth's natural structure. This preserves healthy tooth tissue. It also reduces the need for crowns or root canals that can weaken the tooth.
- Long-Lasting Adhesive Bonds: With specialized adhesive bonding, biomimetic restorations securely adhere to the tooth. This bond reinforces the tooth's natural strength. It helps it withstand daily wear and tear without cracking or breaking.
- Flexibility and Resilience: Biomimetic materials mimic the natural elasticity of teeth. This allows them to absorb pressure like a natural tooth would. This flexibility reduces the risk of fractures. It also makes it less likely that future interventions will be necessary.
