Biomimetic Dentistry — Leading-Edge Healthcare
Biomimetic dentistry allows your dentist to provide safer healthcare. It also helps to end the cycle of nonstop problems and repair. Now it’s less scary for you and your family to visit the dentist.
What is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Research backs up biomimetic dentistry, the most current way to treat your teeth. Its methods help your teeth last longer and with fewer problems. Not only that but most patients report far less pain.
Biomimetic means to mimic nature. Dr. Chang does this by using advanced technology. The materials and procedures copy your teeth’s natural processes to:
- Protect against infection
- Provide longer-lasting dental work
- Seal teeth from bacteria
- Prevent tooth loss
- Improve bonding
What Do Patients Like About Biomimetic Dentistry?
Patients prefer Dr. Chang’s modern biomimetic dentistry because it offers:
- Less drilling
- Fewer appointments
- Patient-Friendly minimally invasive technology
- Fewer cavities
- Less need for root canals
- Ozone to stop decay — without pain
- More attractive teeth
- Remineralization — restoring minerals and repairing damage
- Onlays instead of crowns
Onlays — unlike crowns — look and respond more like natural teeth. And you won’t have to lose your healthy tooth in order to fit a crown.
As a forward-thinking dentist, Dr. Chang devotes time to continuing education. He not only learns and perfects the latest advances, he also teaches dental residents.
What Are the Goals of Biomimetic Dentistry?
Biomimetic goals include:
- Avoiding tooth cutting
- Saving and keeping natural teeth and gums
- Stopping more damage to teeth and gums
- Keeping teeth healthy and beautiful
These goals are critical because your teeth don’t repair on their own. Once your tooth is gone, it doesn’t grow back. You can have an artificial tooth, but it’s much healthier to have your own teeth.
Is Traditional Dentistry Wrong?
It’s not that traditional dentistry is wrong. It’s just old-fashioned, using some materials they used over 100 years ago. This type of approach can:
- Cause teeth to crack and leak
- Cause more pain
- Allow bacteria to rot from inside a tooth
- Require more tooth cutting
- Increase the rate of root canals
- Cause more dental visits
- Require crowns and tooth loss
No need to worry though. Now we can offer new materials and methods for improved dental care. And that means better overall health too.
