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.

Dr. Phan is a good dentist, made my tooth filling procedure an easy process. Felt comfortable throughout the entire thing :)
i got a filling from ricky and dr phan and they were both very nice and gentle! I recommend going here because everyone here is very friendly and i was just comfortable the entire time
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%
Finding Elegant Smile has been such a gift as I have always feared dental offices… The beautiful, clean atmosphere , bright and pleasant… To the sweet staff, every single one of them… Shantae at the front desk going above and beyond to assist me with insurance issues to Dr. Huynh who is such a sweet , patient artist at what she does… ! Determined to perfect to your satisfaction ! then onto Dr. Finn, who was so gentle with a dreaded procedure that turned out to be Pain-free and not scary as he explained everything along the way, and it truly took the fear out of the process, I am so grateful to have found Elegant Smile and must say it's my first experience not dreading an upcoming dental appointment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had the privilege of visiting Elegant Smiles yesterday as a first time patient and I could not have been more impressed! The welcoming, clean atmosphere and the friendly front desk staff gave me a sense of confidence as soon as I walked in the door. Elegant Smiles was a professional and pleasant environment, and the dental staff gave my teeth an amazing clean! I’m glad to now call this place home!

About UsBiomimetic Dentistry FAQs
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.
