We understand that visiting the dentist can often be a source of anxiety and discomfort for many. That's why we are dedicated to providing biomimetic dentistry—a minimally invasive and patient-centric approach to dental care. This innovative method isn't just about treating teeth; it's about understanding and respecting the natural structure of your teeth and your overall well-being.
Unlike traditional dentistry, which often involves removing a significant portion of the tooth for treatments like crowns and fillings, biomimetic dentistry utilizes advanced materials and techniques to rebuild teeth in a way that closely mimics their original form and function. This approach aims to restore teeth to their natural state, ensuring strength, resilience, and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A tooth restored with biomimetic methods can be almost as strong as a healthy natural tooth.

Biomimetic dentistry is significantly less invasive compared to traditional restorative dental methods. By focusing on preserving the natural tooth structure, this approach reduces the need for extensive drilling and cutting.
One of the most significant advantages of biomimetic dentistry is the increased longevity of the dental work. By using materials that closely mimic the natural tooth structure, these restorations bond more effectively and distribute stress more evenly.
Biomimetic dentistry excels in providing restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. The materials used have similar visual properties to tooth enamel, ensuring that fillings and crowns blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
The first step in biomimetic dentistry involves a thorough evaluation of your dental health. Dr. Wong and our Milpitas dental office use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the condition of your teeth and identify the best course of action that aligns with biomimetic principles.
In this step, the focus is on preparing your tooth with minimal alteration. The aim is to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Specialized techniques are employed to ensure that the preparation is precise and conserves the integrity of the tooth.
The final step involves the application of biomimetic materials to restore the tooth. These materials are carefully selected and applied to mimic the natural tooth structure. The restoration is then polished and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and a natural appearance.
Biomimetic fillings, when properly applied and maintained, can last as long as traditional fillings, often many years. Their longevity is enhanced by the strong bond they form with the natural tooth structure and their ability to withstand the natural forces of chewing.
The key difference between biomimetic and traditional dentistry lies in their approach to treating damaged teeth. Biomimetic dentistry focuses on preserving and replicating the natural tooth structure, using less invasive techniques and materials that closely resemble natural teeth. Traditional dentistry, on the other hand, often involves more extensive removal of tooth structure and uses materials that may not mimic the natural properties of teeth as closely.
