Biomimetic dentistry understands that oral health impacts your overall well-being. That's why Dr. Taglia practices a holistic approach to dentistry, working to save as much of your healthy, natural tooth structure as possible. When restoring damaged and failing teeth, he uses natural materials designed to simulate biological function, maintaining healthy relationships between the mechanisms in the mouth. By nature, holistic dentistry is conservative and more effective than traditional dentistry at providing lasting solutions.

Some believe biomimetic dentistry is too expensive and that maintaining strong, healthy, natural teeth isn't worth the investment. Unfortunately, they learn later that traditional dental work that requires chipping and filling can cause long-lasting damage and be more expensive and painful later in life. Biomimetic dentistry is more costly because it rejects quick fixes and focuses on maintaining the strength of your natural teeth for a lifetime.

With Biomimetic dentistry, most root canals can be avoided entirely.
By limiting the removal of healthy tooth structure, Biomimetic Dentistry significantly reduces the necessity for root canal treatments. In fact, Biomimetic Dentists report over 90% reduction in the number of root canals their patients receive.
