Biomimetic Dentistry and Complex Dental ProblemsThe traditional dentistry approach relies more on restorative dentistry procedures. Those involve cutting or removing a substantial amount of the existing tooth structure to make space for the external dental fixture to restore the dental structure to optimal health and functionality. Though beneficial, the process may not be ideal for every patient, who may be better suited for conservative or biomimetic dentistry. What is Biomimetic Dentistry?As mentioned above, biomimetic dentistry focuses more on tooth conservation to restore it to its original working condition. The term biomimetic implies treatment methods that are as close to one’s natural biology as possible. Here, the focus is on using minimally invasive procedures to remove the decay and eliminate cavities. Traditionally, a dentist would drill to remove the decaying tooth and fill it in with a material of your choice. A biomimetic trained dentist will focus on preserving the tooth structure, using biocompatible materials to seal the tooth, preserving it completely. The process is often referred to as inlay or onlay restoration. Advantages of Biomimetic Dentistry
Complex Dental ProblemsBiomimetic dentistry has the potential to solve complex dental problems that traditional dentistry may not be able to solve. It can help treat damage to the enamel, dental pulp, cementum, gum tissue and oral cavity, as can traditional restorative dentistry procedures. However, the main difference here is the focus on using biocompatible materials with regenerative properties to recreate a structure as organically close to the natural state as possible. Our teeth have a natural death cycle that is often aggravated by poor oral and dental hygiene. However, restorative dentistry procedures sometimes end up accelerating the process even further. Biomimetic dentistry is an ideal approach to restorative dentistry as it combines conservation and restoration of the tooth’s structure. At Taglia Advanced Dentistry, we specialize in biomimetic dentistry and can help restore the health, functionality and appearance of your smile using biocompatible materials.
