Biomimetic dentistry...
- Preserves as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
- No more crowns on teeth.
- The need for future root canal treatment on treated teeth drops to less than 1%.
- The tooth gets its natural properties restored (flexibility, hardness, and wear resistance). This prevents further tooth problems.
- Cosmetically looks like a natural tooth.
- The tooth becomes resistant to further decay.
- The restoration lasts as long as the tooth - hopefully a lifetime.
Traditional dental techniques...
- Requires removing healthy tooth structure in order to work.
- Uses crowns as the strongest, longest lasting restoration.
- Future need for root canal treatment on treated teeth is 20% or more.
- Uses materials that are harder and more abrasive than natural teeth. This leads to further tooth problems.
- Cosmetically can be unappealing.
- Teeth are very susceptible to leaking around the edges which leads to further decay.
- Average life span of a filling is 2-3 years. Average life span of a crown is 5 years.
