Biomimetic Dentistry
Preserve your natural tooth structure with advanced adhesive dentistry. We rebuild teeth to mimic nature’s strength and flexibility, avoiding aggressive crowns where possible.
Maximum Preservation
We keep as much of your healthy tooth as possible.
Natural Strength
Restorations that flex with your tooth to prevent cracking.
Long-Term Health
Sealing the tooth effectively to protect the nerve and extend its life.
Mimicking Nature
Traditional dentistry often involves cutting down a significant amount of healthy tooth structure to place a crown. Biomimetic dentistry takes a different approach.
What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Traditional crowns often require significant removal of healthy tooth structure. Biomimetic dentistry aims to preserve more natural enamel and dentine wherever possible. It is the science of mimicking nature—using advanced adhesive materials and techniques to restore the tooth's original strength, function, and biomechanics.
Protecting the Nerve
A core principle of our approach is immediate dentine sealing. By sealing the tooth immediately after preparation, we reduce bacterial ingress and protect the pulp (nerve), significantly lowering the risk of needing a root canal in the future.
Biomimetic vs Traditional Crowns
Unlike traditional crowns that rely on mechanical retention (requiring aggressive trimming), biomimetic restorations bond directly to the tooth. This allows us to keep your healthy tooth structure intact, reinforcing it with fiber-reinforced composites that mimic the flexibility of natural dentine.
When Biomimetic Dentistry Is Ideal
This approach is perfect for:
- Cracked teeth
- Large failing fillings
- Deep decay
- Cosmetic functional rehab
- Patients wanting conservative care
Note: Some teeth may still require crowns or other treatments depending on the extent of damage.
Advanced Materials
We use state-of-the-art materials including fibre-reinforced composites, adhesive ceramic onlays, and bioactive materials. These modern bonding agents allow us to create restorations that are "Inspired by nature. Engineered for longevity."
Value & Longevity
While the cost is often comparable to a crown, the true value lies in the preservation of your natural tooth and the reduction of long-term risk. By avoiding aggressive preparation now, you minimize the need for more invasive treatments later.

Common Questions
What is biomimetic dentistry?
Biomimetic means 'mimicking life'. It is a philosophy of restoring teeth to their original strength and biomechanics. Instead of cutting down a tooth for a crown, we use advanced adhesive techniques to repair the tooth conservatively, preserving your healthy structure.
Is biomimetic dentistry better than a crown?
In many cases, it offers significant advantages. While traditional crowns provide strength, they often require the removal of substantial healthy tooth structure. Biomimetic restorations preserve your natural enamel and dentine, reinforcing the tooth rather than cutting it down. This conservative approach mimics the mechanics of a natural tooth.
Does biomimetic dentistry cost more?
The investment is often comparable to a traditional crown, but the value lies in the long-term benefits. By preserving your natural tooth and avoiding aggressive preparation, you reduce the risk of future complications like root canals or fractures. It is an investment in the longevity and health of your smile.
Does the procedure take longer?
It can take slightly longer than a standard filling because it requires meticulous isolation and careful layering to ensure a stress-free bond. A typical appointment might last 60-90 minutes, but it is a single-visit permanent solution.
Can biomimetic dentistry save a cracked tooth?
Yes, this is a primary benefit. We can identify cracks early and use specialized fibers to bridge the crack and reinforce the tooth internally. This stops the crack from spreading and often saves a tooth that would otherwise need extraction.
Is it covered by health insurance?
Yes, biomimetic restorations are recognized dental treatments, usually claimed under item codes for adhesive restorations, onlays, or crowns. We can provide a treatment plan with codes so you can check your rebate.
