Bioclear Bonding in San Jose, CA for Flawless Smiles
Bioclear bonding is a quick and affordable solution for filling in gaps, discolorations, or chips in your teeth. It is far more resilient than conventional bonding and porcelain veneers. Dennis Baik, DDS offers Bioclear Bonding in San Jose, and we’ll tell you why you might benefit from this dental restoration.
What is Bioclear Bonding?
Bioclear is a minimally invasive dental treatment method designed to take a conservative approach to add composite to your natural teeth without compromising your natural tooth structure. Founded in 2007, by a dentist and innovator, Bioclear is a modern approach to conservative dentistry used by many talented dentists all over the United States.
Bioclear is a dental bonding technique that uses composite filling material mixed with plastic matrix to strengthen teeth. Compared to conventional bonding, the combination is stronger and more accurate.
At Dennis Baik, DDS, Dr. Baik will match the color of the composite material to your natural teeth using plastic matrices. When Bioclear is applied, your teeth will regain their healthy, radiant appearance. Because the Bioclear bonding material matches the natural color of your teeth, no one will notice you have any restorations done.
How Long Does it Last?
Bioclear is a durable cosmetic substitute. It can last up to ten years on average but may last even longer if you take good care of your teeth. If the Bioclear bonding material chips or gets damaged, a quick visit to our dental office can fix your teeth.
How Does Bioclear Differ From Regular Dental Bonding?
Although traditional composite bonding plays a significant part in cosmetic dentistry, it can have certain drawbacks, such as leaving ledges and holes at the corners where germs can grow and cause gum bleeding and discoloration. By removing these ledges and gaps, Bioclear bonding strengthens and beautifies the tooth by returning it to its original appearance.

What are the advantages of Bioclear?
Bioclear has many advantages over traditional dental restoration methods. Bioclear is minimally invasive, cost-effective, long-lasting, and time-saving as it can be done in a single visit to the dentist without having to wait weeks for the lab.
What does the Bioclear procedure consist of?
Bioclear procedures must follow a very strict and systemized protocol to produce beautiful and long-lasting restorations. Dr. Baik will first polish and/or “blast” your teeth (with Aluminum Trihydroxide powder) to remove all “biofilms” (layers of bacteria) from the teeth. Once the teeth are prepped with this step, (being free of bacteria), Dr. Baik will then adapt clear “Bioclear Matrices” over your teeth to isolate the area and use them as molds for the special heated composite resin (Filtek Supreme by 3M). With multiple additional steps of “prepping teeth” such as etching, bonding agent application, and heated flowable composite application, “Bioclear Matrices” are injection molded with Filtek Supreme Composite to create strong “monolithic” restorations. Ultraviolet light is then used to cure the composite (hardens it). Once the composite resin is adequately cured, Dr. Baik will then use his artistic and exceptional hand-eye coordination ability to contour and polish the material to form beautiful and natural-looking teeth.
