Biomimetic dentistry is a relatively new field of dentistry that focuses on restoring and preserving the natural tooth structure.

It is based on the principle of mimicking the natural tooth structure to create a strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

Biomimetics focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

This type of dentistry is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to provide long-term, durable results with minimal destruction of the natural tooth structure.

 The benefits of biomimetic dentistry:

• Preserves natural tooth structure:

This approach is better for the overall health of the tooth and reduces the need for invasive procedures, such as root canal procedures or extractions.

• Prevents future damage:

Biomimetic dentistry aims to restore the tooth in a way that mimics its natural structure and function, which can help prevent future damage to the tooth.

• Provides a more natural appearance:

Biomimetic restorations are designed to closely resemble the natural tooth, providing a more natural appearance than traditional restorations.

• Long-lasting results:

Biomimetic restorations are typically more durable and longer-lasting than traditional restorations, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

• Minimal discomfort:

Biomimetic dentistry uses minimally invasive techniques, reducing discomfort for the patient and promoting faster healing times.

Overall, biomimetic dentistry offers several advantages over traditional restorative dentistry.

By preserving natural tooth structure, preventing future damage, and providing a more natural appearance, biomimetic dentistry can help patients achieve healthier, longer-lasting smiles.

Dental Implants provide a safe, comfortable and long-lasting solution to missing or failing teeth.

When plaque builds up, the bacteria within it can cause gum disease.

Sometimes this can happen over time and be relatively painless, but left untreated it can cause tooth loss.

The best approach is being proactive and cleaning thoroughly, but when it has progressed to cause disease, you may need advanced treatment from one of our experienced dental professionals.

Gum disease is quite common, and you can rest assured that our team have treated many cases and seen various conditions from swollen and red gums to bleeding and receding gums causing loose teeth.

Aside from the pain, gum disease can result in bad breath which may impact confidence.

Our centre provides treatment at all stages of the problem and our expert hygienists can provide education and support for thorough cleaning.

We also recommend regular oral hygiene check-ups.

Sometimes the tissue in the root of the tooth can become decayed or may have been damaged through injury. We believe in keeping healthy teeth and Endodontics (root canal work) can help save the tooth by directly treating the problem.

Many General Dental Practitioners can perform root canal treatment but as an advanced treatment many dentists will refer patients to our centre. Our team are experienced in providing this painless treatment to ensure saving the tooth.
