FAQ
How do I know whether I am suitable for biomimetic fillings?
Determining your suitability for biomimetic fillings depends on several factors.
- The size and location of your dental cavity,
- The health of the surrounding tooth structure, and
- Your overall oral health.
Biomimetic fillings are typically suitable for smaller to moderate-sized cavities that have not caused extensive damage to the tooth. Should you have a larger cavity, you might require a crown instead.
During the consultation, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination and discuss treatment options with you, considering factors such as cavity size, tooth strength, and functional requirements.
We highly recommend heading to an experienced biomimetic dentist to evaluate your suitability for biomimetic fillings.
Are there any potential risks of biomimetic fillngs?
Biomimetic fillings generally have a low risk profile, but there are a few potential risks to consider.
In rare cases, tooth sensitivity may occur after the procedure. Additionally, if the bonding material fails or the restoration is improperly placed, the filling could dislodge or fracture.
It is important to note that the success of biomimetic fillings depends on proper technique and skill of the dentist.
Therefore, it is crucial to choose an experienced and qualified dentist to minimize any potential risks and ensure the best outcome for your biomimetic filling.
Why are biomimetic fillings more expensive than traditional fillings?
Biomimetic fillings can be more expensive than traditional fillings due to several factors:
- First, biomimetic materials and techniques often involve advanced technologies and materials, which can be more costly to acquire and utilize.
- Second, the precise and meticulous nature of biomimetic restorations requires additional time and expertise from the dentist.
This combination of advanced materials, techniques, and increased chairside time contributes to the higher cost of biomimetic fillings compared to traditional fillings.
However, one of the most important considerations of biomimetic fillings is how it typically lasts longer, and is more durable than traditional fillings.
In the long run, biomimetic fillings might be a better investment due to its longevity and durability.

- The number of teeth being treated
- Individual needs according to the patient
Generally, the procedure can be completed in a single dental visit, taking approximately 60 to 90 minutes per tooth.
However, more extensive or challenging cases may require multiple appointments.
The dentist will first remove the decay, prepare the tooth, and then apply the biomimetic filling material using precise layering techniques.

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, they can last for many years. Patients who come in for regular dental maintenance are even able to retain their biomimetic fillings for more than 10 years.
