Bioclear Restorations
About Bioclear
The Bioclear matrix is an innovative minimally invasive tool that dentists can use to help improve the strength and aesthetics of patients’ teeth. Until the invention of the Bioclear Matrix, dentists did not have an ultra thin, tooth shaped form that allowed permanent reconstruction of teeth with composite.
The Bioclear method was developed after extensive research and testing. When combines with the Bioclear Matrix, it allows dentists to maximize efficiency and aesthetic outcomes for a conservative yet beautiful smile.

Bioclear Veneer 360 – Broken Teeth
If you have a broken tooth Bioclear is an effective, permanent treatment that is aesthetically pleasing and can be performed in just one visit.
The Bioclear Method allows your dentist to keep what remains of your tooth and add just enough composite to match the surrounding teeth. The results of this procedure are very strong and allows you to retain full functionality for biting and chewing.
Bioclear Veneer 360 – Worn Teeth
The Bioclear 360 Veneer matrices are fantastic for rejuvenating worn teeth without removing any of your natural tooth. These matrices are specially designed to create a 2 part anatomical mold around the tooth. This mold allows your dentist to add composite to create a monolithic, solid structure which is aesthetically pleasing and is as functional as your natural tooth.
Black Triangles
30% of adults have black triangles, clinically know as open gingival embrasures. This can result from bone loss, recession of the gum line and sometimes movement of the teeth. Dark spaces between the teeth can age a smile. Teeth with black triangles are also prone to food accumulation and tartar build up. In cases where the enamel is perfectly healthy they do not need to be masked by veneers. Using the Bioclear method you dentist can conservatively close these gaps and rejuvenate your smile.
Diastema Closure
The Bioclear method is also perfect for closing diastemas ( the vertical gap between two teeth). Many celebrities have a diastema including Madonna, Eddie Murphy, Jack Black, Lauren Hutton and Willie Nelson. For many people a diastema makes their smile unique and they chose to keep the charming midline gap. Though a diastema is considered harmless, meaning it rarely effects dental health, some people want to close those gaps. Using the Bioclear Method and Matrices your dentist can transform your smile and create a natural finish.
Diastema Closure Peg Laterals
Another common dislike among patients is undersized laterals or peg laterals. This is where the tooth has not grown to its full capacity leading to an uneven smile. Combining the Bioclear Method with the excellent quality of shaded composite materials these teeth can be built up to reveal an aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical smile.
Modifed Hall Technique
The Modified Hall Technique is a new advancement in dentistry which is now beginning to be taught in dental schools. It is described as selective decay removal with the deep decay left near the nerve of the tooth. The tooth is then sealed from the oral environment. If properly sealed the pulp (commonly referred to as the nerve of the tooth) with its good circulatory system, healing enzymes, antibodies and calcification process can heal the deep decay.
Within a few months the tooth becomes hardened and essentially bacteria free. In other words it becomes naturally healed dentin via the healing mechanisms of blood supply and tooth together. With proper case selection and technique, the success rates are show at well above 90% in the literature.
Rejuvenating Worn Teeth
As teeth age they begin to show wear. The Bioclear Method allows your dentist to add composite to compensate for the loss of enamel without needing to remove as much of your remaining tooth structure as crowns or veneers.
