Do you have black triangles between your teeth?
Want a smile that inspires confidence and happiness? If your dentist in the past has recommended restorative treatments to hide smile imperfections, but you don’t want to commit to enamel shaving for a restoration that will only last a few years, we have a solution for you.
At Corner Stone Dental, Dr. Lauren provides Bioclear® to patients in the Fairview Heights, Belleville, O’Fallon, and Shiloh, IL areas who are looking for a holistic approach to treating dental imperfections in a non-invasive way.
Bioclear®, also known as injection overmolding, is a biocompatible dental method that uses composite resin and plastic matrices to cover one or more teeth. Unlike other dental restorations that require the removal of healthy tooth enamel, the Bioclear method keeps the integrity of the tooth structure. This allows us to structurally reinforce the tooth while giving teeth a natural aesthetic look. Treatment with Bioclear only requires removing tooth damage or infection prior to treatment and has the ability to save and strengthen teeth.
With Bioclear, our Swansea dentist can treat:
Bioclear provides an array of benefits that other treatments can’t match, including:
During your initial appointment with Dr. Lauren, she’ll perform a thorough examination of your mouth, take impressions or X-rays of your mouth, go over your medical and dental history, and ask about your smile goals. If she determines Bioclear is the best treatment for your goals, we’ll get started right away.
Before treatment, Dr. Lauren will choose a shade that matches the rest of your teeth. From there, we’ll thoroughly clean your teeth to ensure your restoration will bond to the tooth’s surface. We’ll then place the bioclear tooth-shaped matrices around each tooth. The matrices will act as a pipe for the tooth-colored fillings to fill around each tooth.
Dr. Lauren will then shape each tooth to match the tooth structure. She’ll polish the fillings, giving the impression and feel of a smooth, glossy look. You’ll be able to leave our Swansea dental office with your brand-new smile.
I wanted to thank Dr. Lauren for the wonderful job she did on fixing a gap between 2 of my front teeth. I’m so much happier with my smile now. Dr. Lauren is so kind and caring and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. Thank you so much!
Bioclear can last for more than 10 years with proper care and maintenance. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and visiting the dentist every six months for routine dental visits can increase the lifespan of your Bioclear restorations. Schedule your routine dental visits at our Swansea dental office for professional dental cleanings and checkups. Wearing a night guard will also help protect your restorations against night-time tooth grinding.
The cost of Bioclear is more affordable compared to other restorations such as dental veneers and dental crowns. However, the cost differs between patients and depends on several factors, like the condition of your teeth and how many teeth need restoring.
At your appointment, we’ll provide you with a breakdown of the expense tailored to your customized treatment plan. Our Swansea dental practice offers affordable financing options so that our patients can get the care they need.
