our approach | Slow dentistry

At Chapter One, we’re proud to offer Biomimetic Dentistry — a cutting-edge approach that prioritises preserving your natural teeth.

Unlike traditional methods, this technique minimises invasive treatments by using advanced materials that restore and strengthen teeth, closely mimicking their natural function, strength, and appearance. The result? Long-lasting, beautiful smiles with the gentlest care possible.

What Does “Biomimetic” mean?

The word “biomimetic” means to copy or imitate nature. In dentistry, it refers to treatments that replicate the natural strength and function of your teeth, helping them stay strong and healthy with the least amount of work needed.

Our use of advanced technology and techniques ensures precision and lasting results. These techniques are naturally built in to all of our restorative dentistry providing you with confidence and predictability in the treatment we provide.

  • Biomimetic Dentistry is all about preserving what’s already healthy. Instead of drilling away large parts of the tooth, we carefully remove only what’s damaged — keeping as much of your natural structure as possible.

    It’s a more respectful and less invasive way to care for your teeth.

  • “Biomimetic” means copying nature. We use advanced materials and techniques that replicate the way real teeth flex, bond, and function; restoring both strength and appearance.

    These restorations move with your bite and last longer than many traditional methods.

  • By working with your tooth’s natural design (not against it!) biomimetic dentistry helps reduce the risk of future fractures, root canals, and replacements.

    It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to keep your smile strong, healthy, and beautifully natural for years to come.

What to expect from Biomimetic Dentistry

Biomimetic dentistry is all about protecting and preserving your natural teeth and replicating natural form and function by careful material selection and provision. If a tooth is damaged or decayed, biomimetic techniques aim to restore only the affected portion, avoiding unnecessary removal of healthy tooth material. Using advanced bonding methods and durable, tooth-coloured materials, the damaged area is repaired to replicate the natural strength and elasticity of your tooth.

This approach is minimally invasive and delivers long-lasting benefits, including reduced risk of future fractures, a natural appearance, and improved functionality. 

The benefits of a more thoughtful approach to dentistry

Just as doctors first learned that teeth could be fixed rather than simply extracted thanks to Pierre Fouschard in the 1750’s, and how better instruments could lead to better outcomes thanks to Greene Vardiman back in the 20th century, dentists today are seeing how slow biomimetic dentistry is improving the lives of patients around the world.
