1. Preserves more natural tooth structure than traditional dentistry.

1. It relies on mechanical retention - so it is more destructive to teeth as it uses pins, posts, mercury-based fillings & metal crowns.

2. Leads to stress build up in teeth which leads to cracks which leads to leakage of restorations which leads to pain resulting in extractions or root canal treatment.

Biomimetic dentistry is synonymous with high-quality dentistry. This usually costs more, but sometimes even high-priced dentistry does not equate to high-quality. The main reason Biomimetic Dentistry can cost more is the increased treatment time & the use of more advanced materials.

Overall, it is much more economical long-term than traditional dentistry as it amounts to longer lasting restorations.

Biomimetically restoring your tooth begins with placing a rubber dam, so no old mercury filling or decay enters your mouth. Your dentist then begins removing decay & cracks. Next, they use a specialised dye & high degrees of magnification to prepare the tooth for restoration. This allows for only the damaged portion of the tooth to be removed, while preserving the healthy portions & encouraging a longer life for your tooth. The materials used in a Biomimetic restoration bond with the healthy parts of your tooth, protecting against bacteria & decay. This allows your restored tooth to behave like a natural tooth, allowing it to function like it should. Once your Biomimetic restoration is complete, you can enjoy years, if not decades of full function & that is something to smile about!
