Biomimetic Dentistry

What is biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is the science and art of restoring damaged teeth using dental materials that mimic the appearance, strength, and function of natural teeth. This type of dentistry focuses on noninvasive, minimally invasive, and preventive dental solutions. 

It repairs damaged teeth using restorations that look like dentin, enamel, bone, cementum, and more. The Tottenville Dental specialists use a creative eye to perfect the look of patients’ smiles and ensure outstanding results. 

What are the benefits of biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry provides numerous benefits for a restored smile, including:

• Reduced sensitivity
• Conserving the original tooth structure
• Preserving tooth vitality
• Reduced risk of unnecessary root canals 
• Minimized tooth stress
• Restored natural teeth
• Lower risk of extraction
• Stronger teeth
• Improved look of teeth and smile
• Reduced risk of fractures and chipping

The Tottenville Dental team creates long-lasting treatments that minimize the risk of complications associated with traditional approaches.

Am I a candidate for biomimetic dentistry?

Tottenville Dental specialists discuss your oral health history, review your symptoms, examine your teeth and gums, and evaluate the results of your dental X-rays to determine which biomimetic dentistry options best suit you. They personalize a plan that leaves as many of your natural teeth intact as possible. 

Which biomimetic dentistry options are available?

Biomimetic dentistry treatments available at Tottenville Dental include:

Dental bonding

Dental bonding uses natural, tooth-colored dental materials to improve the look, strength, and structure of your natural teeth. Your provider sculpts your new tooth to restore it and reduce the risk of future damage.

Fillings

Tottenville Dental offers tooth-colored fillings that restore minor tooth decay and damage. The team can also replace silver fillings.

Dental cleanings

Completing routine dental cleanings every six months reduces the risk of decay and damage requiring invasive dental procedures.

Sealants

Tottenville Dental specialists can apply sealants to molars. They blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, protecting them from decay.

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays match the color of your natural teeth but cover just a portion of the affected tooth, unlike crowns that cover its entire surface.

Regenerative treatments

Regenerative treatments aid in bone and soft tissue regeneration.
