The idea that everything comes with a cost is an old philosophy that still rings true today. Our choices have consequences, and it’s ultimately up to you to decide what price you’re willing to pay. When it comes to enhancing the appearance of your teeth, some say the price is permanently altering your healthy teeth. But at East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we believe that patients should be able to revamp their smile without permanent consequences! Using the Bioclear method, we improve your smile’s appearance and hide imperfections without altering your enamel. Book a free consultation at our office to learn if Bioclear is the right choice for your teeth.
What Is Bioclear?
Bioclear is a conservative approach to tooth enhancement that avoids the typical preperatory procedures other methods require. Rather than removing layers of enamel or etching your teeth, Bioclear simply bonds to the enamel, creating a more beautiful and cohesive look.
Bioclear is a special composite material that we shape and sculpt to enhance your teeth. Similar to bonding or veneers, the material is customizable, allowing us to shape what your tooth will look like. With Bioclear, we can conceal imperfections like:
Cracks- Chips
- Gaps
- Staining
But unlike bonding or veneers, Bioclear doesn’t require altering your enamel! This durable composite is placed directly over your natural teeth and cured with a special curing light.
And thanks to its non-invasive procedure, patients can get Bioclear treatment in a single appointment and walk out of our office with perfect, long-lasting results.
How Does the Bioclear Process Affect Your Teeth?
The Bioclear method is simple and happens in just one appointment.
At East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we begin all first visits with a free consultation. If you decide to move forward with Bioclear treatment, we’ll then schedule a separate appointment.
At your procedural visit, we redesign your teeth with these simple steps.
- Using a rubber dam, we will isolate your teeth. This dental dam lets us focus solely on the teeth you’re looking to perfect while protecting your gums during the procedure.
- Then, we will remove plaque from your enamel. For the Bioclear method to work, we need to scrape off any plaque that is sticking to your teeth. Using a blue Bioclear Disclosing Solution that helps reveal the sticky plaque, we can effectively clear it. This helps create a smooth surface for the Bioclear material to adhere to.
- Once your teeth are ready, we will place plastic molds over your teeth. These molds, called matrices, are tooth-shaped plastic that fit securely over your tooth. Then we apply an etching material to your tooth to improve adhesion.
- Using warm injection molding, we will inject the composite material into the molds. However, we use excess material to ensure every portion of your enamel is covered. We then sculpt the material to enhance the size, shape, and look of each tooth, removing any excess composite.
- Afterward, to harden the composite material, we use a special curing light. The light solidifies the Bioclear material, creating a durable composite shell over your tooth.
- Finally, we will buff and polish the material to make your teeth look natural and beautiful.
Overall, the process doesn’t involve altering your natural enamel in any significant or permanent way. And while Bioclear tends to last 10 years or more with quality care, the process is generally reversible!
