Contact UsWhat Is Biomimetic Dentistry?
The goal of biomimetic dentistry is tooth preservation. Biomimetic dentistry is the science of repairing damaged teeth using materials that mimic the properties of natural teeth to revive strength, appearance, and function. This type of dentistry can help individuals in the following ways:
- Conserve the tooth structure as much as possible
- Preserve the vitality of the tooth and prevent unnecessary root canals
- Increase the bond strength of restorations
- Reduce shrinkage stress on the teeth
- Repair a tooth instead of extraction
- Minimally invasive treatment that can reduce the need for anesthesia
- Create long-lasting restorations and prevent future complications
- Looks natural and feels like your own tooth

How Does Biomimetic Dentistry Work?
Biomimetic dentistry is a more natural and preventive approach to treating a weak, fractured, and decayed tooth. Instead of traditional dentistry, this modern technique bonds or glues teeth back together and can even add to missing parts of a tooth without removing the structure of the tooth. Rebuilding a tooth with materials that imitate nature results in better tooth function that withstand daily oral hygiene routines and chewing. Ceramic materials, such as porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic hybrids, are some of the materials used for biomimetic dentistry. These materials can be contoured and polished to look just like a normal tooth with healthy tooth enamel. This minimally invasive type of dentistry not only strengthens the tooth but also protects it from further destruction caused by bacteria. Many biomimetic restorations can be performed in a single visit, depending on the nature of the reconstruction.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
Everyone is so nice here and I am well taken care of. Today I came in for my six month cleaning and exam. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Huynh. She cleaned my teeth and I was pleased that she took her time. I know not many people enjoy going to the dentist, but I really do. I did have some traumatic dental experiences when I was a child, so in the past I did have fear. At Elegant Smiles, I am relaxed knowing that I am in great hands with both Dr Phan and Dr Huynh. Even when I had a filling on my last appointment, the numbing and procedure did not hurt at all! The staff wants to make sure my comfort is a top priority. I highly recommend Elegant Smiles for all of your dental needs.
I wish I could give this dentistry a million stars. I’ve struggled with anxiety when it comes to pain especially at dentist I’ve only ever had bad experiences. I communicated that because I trusted them and they take such good care of me. They make sure I can’t feel any pain or if I do get anxiety they get me water and accommodate me in any way possible with time, patience, netflix to distract, and the massage feature on the chair. They are such kind people here. The assistants remember anything I’ve ever told them which is crazy because they see thousands! You’re always greeted with a gentle voice and smile at the front. Kayla was amazing at the front desk and now they have someone new just as great. They really do their part in the community to take care of others and doing it as their job. I’m so thankful I have chose them.
One day while searching for a great dental practice in Las Vegas, I discovered Elegant Smiles and loved what I read about the husband and wife dental team as well as the wonderful reviews left by happy clients. I was overjoyed when I found out that they accepted my insurance. 25 years ago I cracked a molar and subsequently chose to receive a dental implant from another specialist. My implant is doing just fine, but I love the experience Dr. Phan has in this area, so I chose him as my dentist. I am one happy patient!!!! I absolutely love this practice!!! All of the staff here, and Dr. Phan are so amazing! I have always been one to get dental cleanings every 3 months because I hate the feeling of tartar buildup. Dr. Phan did my cleaning 6 months ago ( my next one is less than 2 weeks away), and I have not felt bothered with tartar. Fabulous dentist! I’m confident his wife is also an amazing dentist as well. I haven’t met her yet, but am willing to see her if needed. I’m in great hands here, and highly recommend Elegant Smiles for your dental care.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would, I normally don't like the dentist. But I enjoy going to Elegant Smiles, everyone is amazing and attentive. If you are looking for a great dentist, look no further.
I've been going to Elegant Smiles for 4 years. They're always professional and friendly and do a superb job taking care of family's teeth.
