Frequently Asked Questions
What is biomimetic dentistry?
It applies conservative adhesive and restorative principles intended to preserve healthy tooth structure and reproduce natural tooth form and function where clinically possible.
Which teeth may be suitable for a biomimetic restoration?
Selected cracked, worn, weakened or heavily restored teeth may be considered after the remaining structure, pulp health, gum condition and bite are assessed.
Can biomimetic dentistry always avoid root canal treatment or crowns?
No. Some teeth have infection, structural damage or functional demands that require root canal treatment, a crown or extraction. Suitability must be assessed individually.
What materials are used in biomimetic dentistry?
Material choice depends on the tooth and procedure and may include adhesive composite or ceramic systems. The clinician should explain the proposed material and alternatives.
How long does a biomimetic restoration last?
Longevity depends on tooth condition, restoration design, bite, habits, oral hygiene and maintenance. Periodic review is important and no fixed lifespan can be promised.
