What the Accreditation Tiers Actually Mean

The Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry maintains a public directory of member dentists and, separately, two narrower accreditation tiers. As recorded on 31 July 2026, the Academy's directory held roughly 198 records worldwide, of which 29 hold Accredited Member status and 8 hold Fellow status. A directory listing indicates Academy membership; it does not by itself indicate completed accreditation. The tier stated for each clinician below is taken from the Academy's own record, linked under the clinic, where it can be confirmed in about thirty seconds.

What to Establish Before a Case

  • Is Immediate Dentin Sealing placed at the preparation appointment? IDS seals freshly cut dentin before impression; its omission is the most common departure from the biomimetic protocol.
  • How is a deep proximal margin managed? Deep margin elevation relocates a subgingival margin coronally so the peripheral seal zone can be established in enamel.
  • Is the C-factor of the preparation being managed? Configuration factor governs polymerisation stress; stress-reduced layering is the mechanism by which debonding is avoided.
  • Is an onlay considered before a full crown? The structural comparison determines how much sound tooth structure is removed.

Case fees are typically quoted fee-for-service, cash pay. US fee data put porcelain inlays and onlays at $800–$1,500 per tooth (Pearl, from ADA fee survey data, updated May 2026); no published survey prices the biomimetic protocol separately. These are ranges, not quotations, and vary with clinic, tooth and complexity.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does a listing here mean the dentist is accredited in biomimetic restorative dentistry?

No. The Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry publishes a general member directory and separate, narrower accreditation tiers. Of roughly 198 dentists listed in the AOBMD directory worldwide as recorded on 31 July 2026, 29 hold Accredited Member status and 8 hold Fellow status. Each listing on this page states the tier actually held by each clinician, taken from the Academy’s own record.

How many verified biomimetic restorative dentists practise in Colorado Springs?

5 credentialed clinicians at 4 clinics in Colorado Springs, CO hold a verified biomimetic restorative credential as re-verified on 22 October 2026 (3 AOBMD members · 1 HDA member · 1 SMART-certified).

Has any clinic paid to be listed here?

No. No clinic has paid to be listed — this is a community-driven, free directory built on public and member listing data. Any credentialed clinic can request a listing at no charge, and free listings are not capped. Each city and specialty also has one clearly-labelled promoted listing, awarded first come, first served: it is placed first in the list, never decides whether a clinic is listed, and its credentials are verified exactly like every other listing.

What should a patient verify before booking?

Confirm the accreditation tier directly with the issuing body rather than relying on a clinic website; ask whether Immediate Dentin Sealing is placed at the preparation appointment; ask how deep proximal margins are managed; and confirm the clinic is fee-for-service before discussing case cost.
