Very often, patients are in search of a healthier replacement for their “silver fillings” or need a new cavity filled, only wanting a white filling. This is also known as a dental composite resin. The concept to really focus on is that the techniques and procedures used by dentists are not all the same, leading to very different treatment outcomes. There are many different options of dental bonding and composites a dentist can choose. Most are acceptable and biocompatible, while some are simply substandard.
So, how do you know if your dentist is using “the good stuff”? Unfortunately, you don’t. Even worse, the dentist may not even know. That is not even the biggest problem; most dental sensitivities are caused by improper placement of the dental composite into the tooth. When a patient has a silver filling replaced, or gets a cavity filled with a white dental composite, they sometimes end up with tooth sensitivity. The patient returns to their dentist for multiple bite adjustment visits with usually little or no improvement. Then an x-ray is taken only to be told everything looks good and to be later told you might need a root canal.
Just because you are experiencing dental pain or sensitivity does not mean you need a root canal. It could simply mean you have an improperly placed dental composite filling. You would think that the process of placing a composite white filling would be the same from dentist to dentist. However, this is not the case. Dr. Etess is an Ivy educated dental specialist committed to providing the very best dental care which includes utilizing and going BEYOND normal biomimetic dentistry.
So, is biomimetic dentistry a big deal? Well, it seems that every biological dentist wants you to know they do it. Again, such biologic dentistry is not all the same. Biomimetics is the biological mimicking of nature of a tooth, using dental materials that match the strength and flexibility of the different layers of the tooth. This is why dental silver fillings, also referred to as dental amalgams or mercury fillings are ANTIbiomimetic fillings, known to break and crack teeth. This is because they are much harder than the remaining tooth around them. Technique is the key to success. Dr. Etess has a proprietary Beyond Biomimetic composite bonding protocol to ensure the finest and sensitivity-free composite white fillings which will maintain the overall health and well-being of your tooth.
