Bioclear® is an innovative technique that’s designed to transform your smile. It’s biocompatible, using composite resin and plastic matrices. It’s ideal to take on cosmetic issues with your teeth while preserving more of the natural structure of your teeth than other options. Dr. Jacob Grapevine is a dentist in Plano, TX that specializes in treatment with the Bioclear® system. With his expertise, he can help determine if Bioclear is the best solution for your dental problems.
The Bioclear® Treatment Process
Bioclear is often used in place of porcelain veneers or dental crowns for cosmetic dentistry needs. However, instead of tooth structure needing to be removed for one of those restorations, Bioclear helps to boost your current tooth structure, instead of taking any away.
Because no tooth structure is removed, the Bioclear treatment is also reversible. When parts of your tooth structure are removed, you’re required to have a restoration at all times to protect those teeth. Bioclear can be removed if you no longer want it or want a more permanent restoration.
To get Bioclear®, a thin mold is placed over your teeth. A composite material is warmed so that it can flow easily, filling the molds that have been placed. The resin is different than traditional bonding material and is matched to the color of your teeth. It’s hardened, then polished so that it looks natural.
Patient Review
How Effective Is Bioclear®?
Bioclear is effective for a wide range of dental concerns, and can usually be done in a single appointment. One of the main benefits of Bioclear is how great it is at taking care of the black triangles that can form between teeth. Because the composite resin is injected into forms between your teeth, it’s able to get into these areas better than other treatment options.
Bioclear is ideal because it helps to rejuvenate your natural tooth structure. It doesn’t remove it or permanently alter it like dental crowns or porcelain veneers. It’s durable and can last as long as veneers or longer. Because of the material and the way it’s administered, it’s designed to be more durable than traditional dental bonding.
Treatment options like porcelain veneers can also cause inflammation of the gum tissue. Veneers create a ledge that can irritate the gum tissue. Because of the molding process, it’s possible for Bioclear to take care of these issues without causing any further irritation or inflammation to the soft tissue.
Is Getting Bioclear® Painful?
The Bioclear process isn’t painful or even really uncomfortable. Other cosmetic procedures can cause pain and discomfort because some of the tooth structure has to be removed. Bioclear doesn’t involve the removal of any of your tooth structure. The material used for Bioclear treatment is warmed enough to flow freely, but not hot enough to cause any discomfort.
What can Bioclear® Fix?
Bioclear can be used for any small cosmetic dental concerns you have with your teeth. These include chips, cracks, gaps between your teeth, dark triangles, discoloration, teeth that are misshapen or too small, or damage that’s been caused by tooth decay.
Bioclear is ideal because it can be reversed. While Bioclear is a great option to take care of cosmetic issues, you may decide that a more permanent option is ideal for your smile. However, Bioclear won’t routinely need to be replaced, either.
