Biomimetic Dentistry

Biomimetic dentistry is a conservative dental treatment, which uses materials and techniques to restore the natural structure and function of your teeth.

Biomimetic dentistry preserves as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, by using materials that mimic your natural teeth. The goal is life-like restoration. We use biocompatible materials; minimally invasive techniques; and avoids toxic materials to achieve long-lasting results.

​​​With biomimetic dentistry we can treat decayed, cracked or broken teeth. We also use it to treat your teeth that are weak or compromised.​​​

Dental Fillings

At Nagy Family Dental Group, we remove cavities from effected areas of your teeth and retore them by using healthy and safe filling materials. This not only restores the tooth but guards against decay in the future.

We strive to find and treat cavities as early as possible. This reduces the need for additional treatments.

Early detection of cavities ensures your tooth’s restoration and avoid more advanced treatments, which may include crowns, bridges, root canals or implants.

Fillings That Match Your Natural Tooth Color

We use a tooth-colored composite material to fill your teeth. This allows us to blend the material to match your natural tooth color, so it is not noticeable. These fillings are much better than the old-style metal fillings as you will not have sensitivity to cold or heat. This is the best overall dental filling solution. Since the older metal filling contain mercury, we are replacing old fillings with the new tooth color material when patients elect to update their old fillings.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays like fillings cover the area inside of your tooth between the cusps, whereas onlays are used to restore a larger portion of your tooth. The area covered by an onlay involves one or more of the cusps of your tooth. We elect to use inlays or onlays for partial restoration of crowns if your tooth can’t support a filling and you don’t need a full crown. We use either porcelain or gold to restore both the structure and function of your tooth.

An inlay or onlay is often the best way to restore your tooth when you have decay.

An impression is taken of your mouth to create a model your natural tooth to ensure we can replicate it in the restoration, preserving its function. Inlays or onlays are extremely long-lasting.

Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps which are custom-fitted over a damaged or weakened tooth. They cover your full tooth and retore its shape, size, strength and appearance. We can also use crowns to cover dental implants and teeth that are treated with root canals.

A crown is often the best treatment solution for teeth with greater decay. It will preserve both the appearance and the function of your tooth.

Crowns are ideal to retain your tooth. It’s an ideal solution to maintain your bone structure as well as the health of the teeth next to the crown.

To create your crown, we take impressions of your mouth to make a model, ensuring we capture the accurate shape of your tooth as well as your bite to maintain the natural function of your teeth.

Typically, we place a temporary crown on your tooth until the final crown is created. With proper dental care, your crown can last your lifetime

There are four common types of crowns:

  • CERAMIC:  These are commonly used for visible teeth so you can match your natural tooth color.
  • PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL: These are a great option because they are both strong and long-lasting. They can also match your natural tooth color.
  • GOLD ALLOYS: This option is ideal when you need more strength in the crown.
  • BASE METAL ALLOYS: These are used when your tooth has minimal structure to support your new crown.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a great option to replace missing teeth and avoid either an implant or denture. A bridge is a permanent tooth restoration. It replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, which are attached to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth gap.

Are you missing more than one tooth?

According to the America Dental Association (ADA), on average American adults between the ages of 20 and 64 have three or more missing or decaying teeth. Dental bridges are one of the best solutions to correct this situation. Depending on your situation, one of the following bridges may be the best option for you.

These are the four main types of dental bridges:

  • TRADITIONAL DENTAL BRIDGE: A very common bridge, it consists of dental crowns (caps) on both ends with pontics (artificial teeth) in between. We bond the crown to your natural teeth on either side of the gap and the artificial teeth fill in the space in between.
  • CANTILEVER BRIDGE: We use a cantilever bridge if you only have natural teeth on one side of the gap. It’s similar to a traditional bridge, but there’s only a crown on one end, not both. So, the artificial tooth hangs over the gap.
  • IMPLANT SUPPORTED BRIDGE: An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, but it rather than resting on your natural teeth it rests atop implants. Implant-supported bridges are typically used if you are missing three or more teeth in a row. The whole process can take up to three to six months or more.
  • MARYLAND BRIDGE: The Maryland bridge is a resin-bonded bridge. It uses metal wings rather than crowns to secure the bridge in your mouth. We bond the wings to the backs of your adjacent teeth to hold your bridge in place. We typically use a Maryland bridge to replace missing front teeth, because they aren’t strong enough to handle the force of chewing with your back teeth..
