Bioclear

Bioclear is a dental technique using composite resin and clear plastic matrices to address various smile issues like black triangles, gaps, and discolored teeth. It’s a conservative approach that offers a natural-looking result with minimal impact on healthy tooth structure. Bioclear can be a cost-effective and less invasive alternative to traditional veneers or crowns. 

Porcelain Veneers/Crowns Vs BioClear

Both BioClear and veneers or crowns can correct:

  • Discolored teeth
  • Crooked-looking teeth
  • Chipped teeth
  • Peg laterals
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Black triangles between teeth at the gum line

Both BioClear and veneers have an average lifespan of about 10 years, though the lifespan depends on how well you care for your teeth and how you use them. Veneers/crowns have been known to last multiple decades with cautious use, so this is one area in which BioClear and veneers are quite similar.

However, BioClear Method has a few advantages over Porcelain Veneers

  • The BioClear Method is usually more conservative.
    In most cases, porcelain veneer treatment requires the alteration of natural tooth structure. For this reason, veneers are a permanent cosmetic enhancement that must be kept up for life. The Bioclear Method is conservative, adding to rather than taking away from the structure of a tooth.
  • The BioClear Method is repairable.
    Porcelain Veneers are very strong, but they can chip, especially in people who grind their teeth or in an accident. Should a porcelain veneer chip or crack, repair often involves the replacement of the entire veneer. With BioClear’s dental composite technique, it is possible to reshape a damaged tooth quickly and affordably.
  • The BioClear Method is less expensive.
    While prices vary, the BioClear Method is usually about half the cost of a Porcelain Veneer, which makes it much more affordable to many people.
