“Your Next Vacation vs. Your Dental Bill: A Choice You Shouldn’t Have to Make”

It happened to one of my patients.
Learn how you can prevent it from happening to you.

By Dr. Yenile Pinto DDS

What is the real value of dentistry? Is it just about the price tag, or is there more to it?

Traditional dentistry, primarily dictated by insurance constraints, tends to focus on cheap, short-term solutions. It’s like placing a band-aid on a deeper wound. This approach may seem cost-effective right now, but it can lead to more significant problems and expenses over time. Think of the regular cycle of fillings, root canals, and crowns; something I like to call the “Tooth Cycle of Death”. With each procedure, the dentist is literally chipping away at your teeth until there’s nothing left to save. The traditional approach to dentistry almost guarantees more work will be needed in the future, and with root canals costing anywhere from $600 to $1,500 per tooth and implants anywhere from $4,000 to $8,500 per tooth, the actual cost of traditional dental work over time can be staggering.

Now, let’s talk about biomimetic dentistry. Often perceived as a luxury, Biomimetic dentistry reveals its true value as patients age and discover that earlier treatments they underwent weren’t adequate to preserve their natural teeth over the long term. Take, for example, a guest I had just last week who we’ll call Mary. Mary is one of my more senior guests, so she didn’t have the chance to take advantage of the tooth-preserving benefits of biomimetic dentistry early enough in life when it could have made a difference. After decades of traditional drill and fill dentistry, Mary didn’t have enough natural tooth structure left to save, and so her best option was extensive implant work. I’m sure Mary will be ecstatic with her new smile and the improved quality of life that her new teeth will provide. Still, she could have bought a new BMW or taken an extravagant European vacation with the money she’s spending.

I want you to be able to buy that BMW, take that extravagant vacation, or just feel secure knowing that your future healthcare costs will be much more manageable, allowing you to enjoy life more. That’s where the beauty of biomimetic dentistry lies; its prevention-focused approach uses advanced materials and techniques to restore teeth in a way that mimics their natural function and strength. Biomimetic restorations are built to last years longer than traditional dental work, significantly reducing the likelihood of future dental issues and expenses. It’s an investment in your long-term oral health, saving you time, money, and discomfort.

So, when we talk about value in dentistry, let’s think beyond the immediate cost. Investing a bit more upfront in biomimetic dentistry can offer real, lasting benefits for your oral health and your wallet. I believe that better dental work should mean less dental work and that it shouldn’t be dictated by what your insurance covers, but by what’s genuinely best for your long-term health.

If you’re contemplating your dental care options and want to learn more about the advantages of biomimetic dentistry and how it can preserve your smile for a lifetime, drop by Deering Dental. We’re here to help you make informed decisions for a healthier, happier smile.

Keep Smiling,

Dr. Pinto

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My visit was great from beginning to end. The office is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming and friendly.
Nadya was amazing. She handled my X-rays and cleaning, was incredibly thorough, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I also really appreciated the technology they use, it makes it so much easier to see what’s going on and understand the recommended treatment every step of the way.
Dr. Pinto was honest, knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured. Her biomimetic approach gave me confidence that the focus is on preserving and protecting my natural teeth for the long term. You can tell this practice is committed to providing a more elevated patient experience while still making you feel comfortable and cared for.
I’m looking forward to continuing my dental care here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deering Dental has set the bar so high I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Everything feels so well thought out from the high-tech equipment to how smoothly everything runs. They are so attentive, they offer blankets and neck pillows which makes the experience so relaxing. I always leave the office with a smile because I actually understand the full health of my teeth and gums. As a visual person, I appreciate being able to see everything on the big screen as Dr. Pinto is explaining everything so clearly. A special thank you to Keylin, Nadia and the entire team for being so kind and making the whole dental experience so comfortable from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great first experience at Deering Dental for my checkup and cleaning. After going to the same dentist for 25 years, switching to a new office felt like a big change, but the team made me feel comfortable right away. Everyone was friendly, professional, and thorough, and the cleaning/checkup process was smooth from start to finish. I’m glad I chose Deering Dental and would definitely recommend them.
