Question 1

What happens during the Bioclear procedure?

Answer

Firstly, any trace of plaque is meticulously removed painlessly with a special powder to ensure the tooth is spotless Then a special Bioclear transparent cap is placed on the tooth and the tooth shade matched resin is injection moulded onto the tooth. The resin is then set using a special high intensity blue light and the set resin is carefully shaped then highly polished to produce a totally blended final result that closes the gaps.

Question 2

Can Bioclear be used instead of a veneer or crown?

Answer

Yes, the primary reason to opt for Bioclear® is that the treatment is so much more conservative, allowing the preservation of more natural tooth structure. Also, a crown is more at risk to recurrent decay. Decay starts at the edge of the crown and can progress underneath it if not addressed right away. Most crowns block x-rays from allowing us to see what’s happening underneath it. This isn’t the case with a Bioclear® restoration.

Question 3

Why do I get black triangles?

Answer

Black triangles in teeth are often due to bone loss and recession of the gum line, or movement of the teeth after orthodontics (braces). They can make the teeth and smile look old. Those dark dental gaps can also be prone to accumulate food debris encouraging staining of the teeth and excessive plaque build-up.

Question 4

Does it hurt?

Answer

Most Bioclear restorations are purely additive. This means they are painless to perform. However, if there are old or disoloured fillings where we need to work, we may need to gently place a local anaesthetic to enable us to do this. We also offer IV sedation for the most anxious of patients

Question 5

How long does Bioclear last?

Answer

With proper care, your Bioclear treatment should last approximately 10 years or longer

Question 6

How much does Bioclear cost?

Answer

On average, Bioclear is 25-50% less expensive than a porcelain veneer or crown
