One of our most innovative services is Bioclear, a cutting-edge method for restoring and enhancing teeth. This minimally invasive procedure produces long-lasting, natural-looking results, making it an excellent alternative to traditional fillings, veneers, and crowns.
What Is Bioclear?
The Bioclear Method is a revolutionary approach to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Unlike traditional methods that require removing significant amounts of natural tooth structure, Bioclear preserves more of your original tooth. This makes it a safer, more conservative option that also looks and feels remarkably natural.
Using thin, clear plastic forms called matrices, Bioclear wraps your teeth with durable composite material to improve their appearance and functionality. This material is heated and injected into place, flowing seamlessly around your tooth to create a smooth, strong, and lifelike result.
How it Works
- Matrix Placement: A specially designed plastic form (matrix) is fitted around your tooth.
- Composite Injection: Warmed composite resin, matched to your natural tooth color, is injected into the matrix.
- Curing and Polishing: The composite is hardened with light, and the matrix is removed. The tooth is then carefully polished to ensure a seamless, natural finish.
Why Bioclear?
Less Invasive, More Natural
Bioclear is an additive process, meaning it builds on your natural tooth without filing it down. This preserves your enamel and protects the integrity of your teeth for years to come.
Long-Lasting Results
Bioclear restorations can last over 10 years with proper care. The material wears like natural enamel, ensuring durability and longevity.
Bioclear is ideal for:
- Eliminating black triangles (gaps near the gum line)
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Restoring worn or broken teeth
- Protect hypoplastic or hypocalcified teeth (natural defect of the enamel caused by interruption of the tooth calcification process)
Bioclear leaves no gaps or ridges that trap bacteria, reducing the likelihood of tooth decay under the restoration.
Quick and Comfortable
Most Bioclear procedures are completed in a single appointment. Patients typically experience little to no discomfort, with only minor sensitivity to hot or cold that resolves within days.
With routine dental care, Bioclear restorations can last over a decade. We provide a 3-year warranty if regular 6-month cleanings are consistent.
Bioclear is highly stain-resistant. However, like natural enamel, it can stain with heavy consumption of dark beverages or smoking. Regular brushing and professional cleanings help maintain their bright appearance.
