Rejuvenate your smile with the better-looking, longer-lasting, less-invasive approach to dental restorations. Bioclear is an innovative and modern dental treatment designed to restore the natural aesthetics and functionality of teeth. It offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional procedures like veneers or crowns, providing patients with a beautiful and long-lasting smile. This advanced technique uses specially designed clear matrices and composite materials to sculpt and enhance teeth with precision and durability.
What is Bioclear?
Bioclear is a revolutionary approach to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Unlike conventional bonding techniques, which may lack durability and aesthetic appeal, Bioclear creates a smooth, contoured finish that mimics the natural appearance of teeth. The treatment involves using a translucent mold (matrix) to shape composite resin around the tooth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking restoration.
The Bioclear Method is used in lieu of traditional fillings, bonding, or veneers. Bioclear lasts longer than traditional composites, porcelain, or amalgams. It looks better too, with a more natural and consistent finish.
Candidates for Bioclear may have:
- Black triangles between teeth and gums
- Unwanted gaps between teeth
- Undersized or misshapen teeth
- Worn teeth that appear short
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Root canal teeth
- Old silver or white fillings that are rough, stained, or have decay around the edges
Bioclear versus Crowns and Veneers
Traditional crown preparations remove about 76% of the tooth. Bioclear's minimally invasive technique saves more healthy tooth structure and lessens the risk of future root canals or snap-off fractures. As we age, crowned teeth can later require extraction. Bioclear offers an innovative option to avert this outcome. Bioclear is the best option for closing black triangles — the dark space between two teeth and the gums — without shaving the teeth down for porcelain veneers.
The Benefits of Bioclear
- Stronger and Longer Lasting: The typical longevity of a composite restoration — like certain cavity fillings — might be two to five years. Bioclear restorations typically last fifteen to twenty years or more. That's because they're designed to wrap and reinforce the entire tooth, creating a stronger, more durable seal. With proper care, they can provide lasting function and a natural look for decades.
- Looks Natural, Youthful, and Healthy: Bioclear restorations are finished with a specialized polishing process done wet, using water and a special slurry that maintains the integrity of the restoration while creating a beautifully shiny, seamless finish.
- Conserves Your Natural Structure: Traditional restorations end at the gumline, often creating ridgelines that over time can irritate and inflame the gums. Bioclear restorations start below the gumline and only remove unhealthy tooth structure, inherently conserving more of the healthy, original tooth.
Before & After Transformation
Sarah needed help restoring her cracked teeth. We were able to restore their look without any major work.
Susan was unhappy with the gaps between her teeth after finishing clear aligners. We were able to close them with a cosmetic additive technique (Bioclear)!
The Bioclear Treatment Process
Personalized Consultation
We'll begin with a thorough exam to understand your dental goals and determine if Bioclear is the right fit for your smile.
Gentle Preparation & Placement
Your teeth will be cleaned and gently prepared before we place a thin, clear matrix around the tooth. Then, we apply and shape the tooth-colored composite to create a smooth, natural-looking result.
Bonding & Polishing
Using a special light, we harden the material for a strong, lasting bond. Finally, we polish the surface to give your tooth a beautiful, seamless finish.
What Makes Us Different
- Crown Alternative: Bioclear provides a less invasive alternative to traditional crowns by restoring damaged or weakened teeth without extensive drilling. This option preserves more of your natural tooth while delivering comparable strength and durability.
- Minimally Invasive Approach: This technique eliminates the need for drilling or filing down teeth, preserving their natural structure.
