What 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

Biomimetic dentists at Elegant Smiles specialize in restorative dentistry, specifically, attempting to save any possible amount of your natural teeth and use only materials that will help restore a natural look and feel to your mouth. Our biomimetic dentists purposefully avoid adding further damage to the tooth structure. Therefore, if you have tooth decay, tooth damage, or even issues such as needing fillings or implants, while still wanting to maintain as much of your natural smile as possible, you may wish to contact our Las Vegas, NV office. We will be happy to learn more about your tooth complaints and to direct you to the appropriate specialist for addressing your issues.

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.

This is the best dentist money can buy hands down. I can tell you the team work is dynamic and the energy is so dope. I can also say this is a very honest dentist. Before I was introduced to this office I had a cavity and a few different dentist searching for the right one, most said I needed a root canal, and I found Elegant smiles, the Doc said you don't need a root canal this tooth can be fixed simple I got you. I was shocked, and sold on the honesty. My tooth is still in great condition thanks to Doc.They're perfectionist taking quality time for each patient. There is no wait time, your seen immediately upon arrival. I been sold for 3 years now and I have not looked back. I recommend 100%

I am pretty busy and usually won't sit down to write a review, but I felt this one deserved the time. I had a badly chipped tooth that several dentists told me needed a root canal. I never had any pain in the tooth, so I just felt that it was possible the tooth could be saved. I did some research and read that a Bio dentist is more likely to take the time to save your tooth., so I searched and came across Elegant Smiles. I saw Dr Phan. He did a xray and a couple tests on my tooth and told me he believed he could save it, but he couldn't guarantee it. Well he did indeed save my tooth! I was so happy! I did not need a root canal and my tooth feels great. He also took a tremendous amount of time to make adjustments to my crown to make sure it fit perfectly and I was 100 percent comfortable. I drove across town to this office and will 100 percent do it again. It is definitely a needle in a haystack. The staff are all super polite and welcoming. They actually answer their phones and call you back. The office is super clean. They don't overbook like most offices, so they also run on time. I highly highly recommend them!

Although I live in California, I followed Dr. Phan from his previous practice to his own new office. I first went to him for a crown, which fit perfectly from the beginning. I appreciate Dr. Phan's conservative approach to restorative dentistry rather than over-rotating on unnecessary cosmetic dentistry. He is thorough with his explanation of what needs to be done and is very meticulous with his work. I continue to return to Dr. Phan for second opinions when local dentists recommend filling replacements, crowns, and even a root canal. In most cases, he has found them unnecessary, and they have continued to last for years. When he does recommend treatment, I make sure to go back to Dr. Phan, with whom I have deep trust.He works with you to create the best treatment options for your smile with a gentle style that delivers a pain free experience. The massage chairs and ceiling TV add to the comfortable experience they pride themselves on. Highly recommend!

Omg I cannot Express the joy that I had realizing that I didn't need a crown because I was insistent upon not receiving a crown because I didn't feel like I needed one so I contacted elegant smiles, and they confirmed that. Yes I did not need a crown and I was very excited about that. The doctor was very professional very caring her main concern was that the customer was satisfied and I was satisfied, so thank you. This will be my new Dentist due to her honesty she wasn't trying to take me to the bank she was very real and down to earth and i love that about her.

I hate to let the secret out on this gem of a dental practice I found after much research. I came here after a very old filling fell out in my mouth while I was flossing. I was lucky enough to get in the next day. I found out I had a few cavities and in some of the worst areas (right next to the nerve), and my worst nightmare was going to a money hungry dentist here in LV only to be told they want to replace every cavity with a crown. I chose Elegant Smiles after reading on their website that their approach is a conservative one. Sure enough, I was given the option to take the more conservative approach that preserves as much natural teeth structure as possible. The dentist never pushed for a crown. I was very grateful for this for I had the most horrific experience at another dental office here in LV. After all my procedures were done, I was shown pictures of all the teeth that were worked on and boy did they look pretty!!! I really didn't have to say much about my bite feeling right either. The dentist was so precise and skilled that I could just lay there completely unbothered. Lol. I have complete trust in this dentist after this experience. He will take care of my teeth as if I was his family. He will never pressure you to make the more expensive decision for his own profit. I have my whole family coming to this practice now, enough said. Once again, I'd hate for this place to get super duper busy because I'd have a hard time getting in down the road, but if there is anyone out there traumatized from previous experiences at their dentists, I highly recommend Elegant Smiles. You will save yourself a lot of agony.

Does biomimetic dentistry mean no root canals?

Biomimetic dentistry works to restore the teeth in layers, taking inspiration from nature. Because we aim to save as much of the tooth as possible, it often will eliminate the need for a root canal. However, our team will work with you to ensure you're getting the proper treatment for your needs.

Do biomimetic procedures take longer than traditional dentistry procedures?

Traditional dentistry may require multiple visits; however, biomimetic dentistry is often performed in one single visit. So while that visit may be more intense than the initial visit with traditional dentistry, you should be able to spend less time in the dental chair as a whole.

How long has biomimetic dentistry been around?

Biomimetic dentistry has been practiced since about the 1950s and has been evolving ever since.
