Biomimetic Dentistry
More of a philosophy than a true specialty, biomimetic dentistry is a conservative approach to restoring teeth. We use materials that “mimic” the physical properties of teeth while preserving as much existing tooth structure as possible.
The core values of biomimetic dentistry are to:
- preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible
- use biocompatible materials
- emphasize preventative dentistry & repair problems early to keep as much healthy tooth structure as possible
- utilize proper bonding/adhesion techniques (such as using rubber dams, immediate dentin sealing, ozone therapy, etc.) to reduce sensitivity
Dr. Rigby has been practicing biomimetic dentistry since his graduation in 2010. He is also a member of the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry.
