At Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry and Smile Design, our primary focus is to protect and preserve your natural teeth. One of the most significant benefits of biomimetic dentistry is its ability to prevent tooth decay and damage, helping you maintain a healthy, strong smile for life.
Traditional dental methods often require removing healthy tooth structures to place crowns, bridges, or large fillings, which can weaken the tooth over time. Biomimetic dentistry, on the other hand, is about conserving what nature has already provided. By using techniques and materials that mimic the natural properties of your teeth, we can significantly reduce the risk of decay, fractures, and long-term damage.
What Makes Biomimetic Dentistry Different?
The approach we take at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry and Smile Design is fundamentally different from traditional methods. Instead of cutting away large portions of a tooth, we focus on:
Minimizing Invasion: We remove only the decayed or damaged part of the tooth, preserving as much of the healthy structure as possible. This helps keep the tooth strong and less prone to future issues.
Using Advanced Materials: Biomimetic restorations use advanced adhesive bonding techniques and materials that behave similarly to your natural teeth. These materials flex with your teeth, reducing the chance of cracks or fractures.
Sealing Out Bacteria: By using cutting-edge bonding methods, biomimetic restorations create a tight seal, preventing bacteria from entering and causing further decay.
How Biomimetic Dentistry Helps Prevent Decay and Damage
Here’s how biomimetic dentistry works to keep your teeth healthy:
Strong Bonding: Traditional fillings and restorations often rely on mechanical retention, which can stress the remaining tooth structure. In biomimetic dentistry, we use advanced bonding techniques that create a durable seal between the tooth and the restoration. This bond acts as a barrier, keeping bacteria out and preventing decay from reoccurring.
Less Stress on Teeth: The materials we use mimic the natural flexibility and strength of your tooth enamel, meaning the restoration works with your tooth rather than against it. This reduces the stress placed on the tooth and helps prevent cracks or fractures that could lead to further damage.
Conserving Natural Tooth Structure: One of the key principles of biomimetic dentistry is to remove as little healthy tooth structure as possible. When more of your natural tooth remains, the tooth is stronger and more resistant to future decay or damage.
Benefits of Preventing Tooth Decay with Biomimetic Dentistry
Long-Term Protection: By creating restorations that seal out bacteria, we reduce the likelihood of future decay and the need for additional treatments.
Reduced Risk of Root Canals: Since we focus on preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible, there’s less chance of needing invasive procedures like root canals down the road.
Aesthetic Appeal: Biomimetic restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a healthier, more attractive smile without compromising strength.
