Introducing Biomimetic Dentistry

Biomimetic dentistry is an entirely different approach to dentistry. Instead of the standard drill-and-fill philosophy, Biomimetic dentists take a preserve and restore approach that retains as much of your natural tooth structure as possible and prevents expensive additional treatment down the road. The amazing results are accomplished by the use of advanced bonding agents and materials and special techniques that create restorations with similar density and flexibility to your natural tooth. In fact a tooth restored using the Biomimetic approach has more than 90% of the strength and durability of a healthy untouched tooth.

A Biomimetic dentist has made the choice of putting your health and wellness as their top priority. They have taken the time and made the commitment to help you preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible and to restore it in a manner that lasts as long as possible. Our goal is to help you maintain your smile and avoid costly and painful dental work in the future.

I opened Deering Dental in Palmetto Bay with the mission of offering my guests the best care possible, without compromises. That mission has led me to many classes and dental conferences all over the country to stay at the forefront of dental medicine. When I became aware of Biomimetic dentistry, I dove deep into the scientific literature and became convinced that this is the best dentistry out there and the only type of dentistry I would want for myself. Offering anything less, goes against my ethical duty to you as my guest and stands in stark contrast to my mission of offering you the best care possible.

There are several reasons most dentists do not offer Biomimetic dentistry. One simple reason is that even though this approach has been around since the 1980’s, dental schools do not teach these methods and most dentists are unaware that there is a better way to help their guests.

The other reason is that Biomimetic dentistry requires extensive additional training of both doctor and staff. These procedures are also more difficult and time consuming for the doctor which means it’s more expensive and difficult to provide. Simply put, most dentists are either afraid they can not afford to offer this to their guests or they figure guests don’t know the difference, so why bother spending more time and money when standard dentistry is easier and more profitable.

For many dentists, spending additional time and effort to perform a procedure that will dramatically reduce the odds your guest will need more dentistry in the future, seems like a poor business choice.
