Biomimetics is the process of restoring weak, fractured and decayed teeth using the latest materials and technology.

Biomimetic dentistry mimics the teeth’s natural look and functionality. The word ‘biomimetics’ itself, can be translated to mean ‘copy what is life-like’.

At the forefront of the rise in use of biomimetic dental science is vVARDIS, the brand behind the popular Curodont Repair and Curodont Protect biomimetic system.


How does Biomimetics differ from traditional dentistry?


Traditional dentistry has relied heavily on invasive procedures such as fillings and teeth reduction, which while saving teeth can also lead to bacterial infections and fractures.

Biomimetic dentistry instead uses minimally invasive techniques to fix damaged teeth whilst keeping as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

Other advantages of biomimetic dental procedures are known to include:

  • Increased bond strength
  • Minimal shrinkage stress
  • Long-term seal that provides long-lasting restorations
  • Preserved pulp vitality and prevention of unnecessary root canals
  • Minimal post-operative sensitivity
