Greenpoint Biomimetic Dentistry

Repair the damage. Keep the rest of your tooth.

SMILELOUNGE offers biomimetic dentistry in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, repairing damaged teeth while preserving healthy tooth structure. New Patient Special: $295 exam, x-rays, and cleaning.

Before your tooth gets a crown, it deserves an honest look

You’ve probably heard “that tooth needs a crown” before. At SMILELOUNGE, your dentist shows you the damage on screen and explains every option, including the smaller ones, before you choose.

A smaller repair doesn’t fit every tooth. When a crown is the right call, your dentist says so and tells you why.

What is biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is a repair approach that removes only the damaged part of a tooth and rebuilds it with bonded materials that copy how natural enamel and dentin work. “Biomimetic” means mimicking biology.

Enamel is the hard outer layer of your tooth. Dentin is the softer layer underneath it. A biomimetic repair respects both layers instead of reshaping the whole tooth.

At SMILELOUNGE, this kind of care sits within our dental services for fillings, onlays, and bonding.

Is Greenpoint biomimetic dentistry right for your tooth?

You may be a candidate if a tooth has damage but still has healthy structure left. Your dentist makes the call after an exam.

Common reasons patients ask about it

  • A cavity that may not need a crown
  • A cracked or chipped tooth with healthy structure left
  • An old filling that’s leaking or breaking down
  • A tooth that’s sensitive to cold, heat, or biting
  • A repair you want to keep as small as possible

When a crown is still the better answer

A tooth with extensive decay or very little healthy structure may need a dental crown instead. Your dentist tells you which one fits and shows you why.

What happens at your visit

Your visit starts with an exam and an iTero scan, so you see what your dentist sees.

1. Exam and iTero scan

Your dentist examines the tooth and takes an iTero scan. The scan puts a 3D picture of your teeth on screen.

Your dentist walks you through each option and what it involves. You choose with the full picture in front of you.

SMILELOUNGE uses tooth-colored composite fillings for small repairs and porcelain onlays for stronger coverage. Both blend with the tooth around them.

Your dentist checks how your teeth meet and adjusts the repair until your bite feels balanced.

Filling, onlay, or crown: which does your tooth need?

The answer depends on how much healthy tooth remains.

Composite Filling

Repairs a small area of damage with tooth-colored material.

Porcelain Onlay

Covers more of the tooth when a filling won’t hold.

Dental Crown

Surrounds the whole tooth when too little healthy structure remains.

Your dentist explains where your tooth falls after the exam. If appearance is your main goal, our cosmetic dentistry options cover bonding, onlays, and whitening.

Meet the dentists who plan your repair

Dr. Sherry Chiang, DDS, a restorative and cosmetic dentist at SMILELOUNGE, earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery at NYU College of Dentistry. Her approach pairs “conservative treatment planning with an artist’s eye for natural-looking results.”

Dr. Philip Grecco, DDS, also a restorative and cosmetic dentist, brings experience in full-mouth rehabilitation for patients who need several teeth restored.

They’re two of the dentists on our seven-doctor team.

What biomimetic dentistry costs and how to pay for it

Your cost depends on the tooth and the repair, and your dentist gives you an estimate before treatment starts. We verify your insurance benefits first.
