Biomimetic dentistry takes a conservative approach to dental care. It is a tooth-preserving, minimally invasive form of dentistry that has practically eliminated cutting teeth down for crowns and destructive root canal treatment. Biomimetic means to copy or mimic nature. With this in mind, biomimetic dentistry works by rebuilding teeth with materials that duplicate natural teeth with incredible accuracy and efficiency.
As a certified biomimetic dentist, Dr. Tiffani Dunn uses advanced materials, adhesives, and techniques to keep decayed or damaged teeth strong and sealed off from bacteria. These specialized methods make our dentist’s restorations respond to daily use just like a natural tooth would. Even better, the biomimetic method is highly successful in breaking the root canal cycle. Since biomimetic fillings use the most resilient materials to seal teeth from infection, they rarely result in a root canal procedure.
As a less aggressive, more durable form of dental work, biomimetic dentistry is an excellent choice for patients who desire a gentler approach to treatment.

Our skilled dentist, Dr. Tiffani Dunn is highly experienced in providing effective periodontal treatment in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. If you suffer from gum disease, our dentist will provide you with a customized treatment plan to help repair your smile. We invite you to contact our office at 808-329-8180 to schedule your periodontal treatment consultation.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition primarily caused by bacteria found in plaque. The bacteria inflame and infect the gum tissues, and when left untreated, the gums can eventually begin to pull away from the teeth. Untreated periodontal disease can result in bone loss, tooth loss, and gum tissue recession.
If your gums are swollen, red, or tender, or if your gums bleed easily, you may have periodontal disease. Other common symptoms of gum disease include loose teeth, painful chewing, persistent bad breath, and receding gums that make your teeth appear longer than normal. Following an exam at our office, our dentist and team will be able to determine whether you suffer from periodontal disease.
The treatment for gum disease is based upon your specific dental needs. Depending on the severity of the condition, our dentist may recommend additional professional dental cleanings, improved at-home oral hygiene, antibiotic treatment, scaling and root planing (deep cleanings), or gum surgery. We strive to help you restore your oral health and halt the progress of the disease. For more information on periodontal treatment, we welcome you to call or visit our office soon. We look forward to caring for your smile!
