Biomimetic Dentistry

At Tooth & Co, Dr. Chase Williams offers a modern approach to restoring damaged teeth through biomimetic dentistry. This technique focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible—resulting in longer-lasting, more natural-looking restorations that strengthen rather than weaken your smile.

Whether you're dealing with a cracked filling, decay, or damage from wear, biomimetic dentistry provides a minimally invasive, tooth-preserving alternative to traditional crowns.

What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is a philosophy of care that restores teeth using techniques and materials that replicate the natural function and structure of healthy enamel and dentin. Unlike traditional treatments that remove large portions of the tooth, biomimetic dental care works with your natural tooth—not against it.

It’s a form of conservative dentistry that reduces the need for root canals, prevents cracks from worsening, and offers better long-term results.

Indirect Restorations: Inlays & Onlays

One of the most effective applications of biomimetic dentistry is through indirect restorations, particularly inlays and onlays.

  • Inlays fit into the center of the tooth where decay or damage exists, similar to a puzzle piece.
  • Onlays go a step further, extending to cover one or more of the tooth’s cusps for added reinforcement.

These partial-coverage restorations are stronger than fillings and more conservative than traditional crowns—making them the perfect middle ground for many patients.

The Process: Precise. Conservative. In-House.

Dr. Williams uses advanced technology and in-house lab capabilities to complete your restoration with the highest level of accuracy and care:

  1. Conservative Tooth Preparation
    Only the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed—preserving healthy enamel and dentin.
  2. Digital Imaging & Design
    We take high-resolution digital scans (no goopy impressions) to design a custom-fit inlay or onlay with incredible precision.
  3. Fabrication in Our In-Office Lab
    Your restoration is milled on-site using durable, tooth-colored materials that match your smile.

Permanently Cemented for Strength
Using adhesive dentistry techniques, we bond the restoration to your tooth, sealing out bacteria and reinforcing the natural structure.

Why Patients Choose Biomimetic Restorations

Here’s why so many of our patients are choosing biomimetic restorations over traditional crowns:

Longer-Lasting Results
The bonded design mimics the tooth’s natural flex, reducing stress and fracture risk.

Natural Appearance & Feel
Your inlay or onlay is color-matched and contoured to blend seamlessly into your existing tooth.

Conservative Alternative to Crowns
No need to file down the entire tooth—only the damaged area is treated.

Less Sensitivity & Discomfort
With minimal drilling and advanced bonding, most patients experience reduced sensitivity and faster healing.

Stronger Tooth Preservation
By maintaining more of your original tooth structure, we’re helping you avoid future root canals, crown replacements, or extractions.
