The clinic states it uses digital x-rays, the iTero Element for digital impressions, and an in-house Ceramill lab for same-day restorations.

Common Questions
What does this clinic mean by biomimetic dentistry?
Smile Moore Dental describes biomimetic dentistry as an approach that preserves the natural structure of the tooth, drawing on how teeth are designed and using materials and techniques that mimic the properties of enamel and dentin. The clinic states this method is more conservative than conventional restoration and relies on adhesive technology to restore function without large-scale tooth reduction.
When would an inlay or onlay be used instead of a crown?
The clinic states that inlays and onlays are custom restorations repairing a specific part of a damaged tooth rather than covering all of it. An inlay fits within the cusps and addresses mild to moderate damage or decay; an onlay extends over one or more cusps, for larger repairs or a tooth that is weakened but does not require a full crown.
Which patients does the clinic say this approach suits?
Smile Moore Dental states biomimetic dentistry suits patients seeking a minimally invasive response to cavities, cracks or wear, those wanting to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible, those seeking alternatives to crowns and aggressive tooth reduction, and patients who have experienced cracked teeth or failed previous dental work and want a more durable restoration.
How are cracks and fractures restored here?
The clinic describes adhesive restorations as a hallmark of its biomimetic work: specialised adhesives bond the restoration directly to the tooth, integrating with its natural flexibility and strength instead of relying on the significant tooth reduction a crown requires. Smile Moore Dental states this is of particular benefit in cracks, fractures and moderate decay, and keeps the tooth structurally sound.
Does the clinic treat jaw pain and TMJ/TMD?
Yes. Smile Moore Dental lists TMJ/TMD among its services and states that jaw and neck pain may stem from the condition. The clinic notes TMJ/TMD is not a straightforward condition to identify, and that Dr. Moore identifies and treats it.
What technology does the clinic use for restorations?
The clinic states it uses digital x-rays, the iTero Element for digital dental impressions, and an in-house Ceramill dental lab that allows restorations to be completed in a day.
