What is Biomimetic Dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry focuses on using advanced techniques and materials that mimic the natural structure and function of your teeth. Unlike traditional dental restorations, which often require significant tooth reduction, biomimetic treatments preserve as much of your healthy tooth structure as possible. This approach uses natural-looking, durable materials that bond seamlessly with your teeth, ensuring that your smile looks and feels just like your own. At Lumière Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we believe in the power of preserving your natural teeth, keeping them strong and healthy for the long term.

Why Choose Biomimetic Restorations Over Traditional Crowns?

Why Choose Biomimetic Restorations Over Traditional Crowns?

With traditional crowns, a large portion of your healthy tooth must be removed to ensure a proper fit. Many patients don’t realize the significant tooth reduction involved, which can weaken the remaining tooth structure over time. Biomimetic restorations, such as onlays and veneers, provide a much more conservative solution. They are minimally invasive and bond directly to your tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure. By strengthening, rather than weakening, your tooth, biomimetic restorations provide a more natural, durable, and long-lasting option.
