Minimally invasive treatments are procedures that restore form, function and esthetics with minimal removal of sound tooth structure. This is accomplished by removing only dental tissues that cannot be adhesively bonded.This conservative approach leaves patients with as much of their natural tooth structure as possible while restoring or creating tissue that will enhance utility and appearance.

While indirect porcelain veneers can require a great amount of preparation and removal of tooth structure, direct composite bonding follows the conservative approach. Direct resin composite restorations offer an alternative treatment that provides excellent esthetics and preservation of tooth structure given that the preparation is limited to only areas of affected unsupported enamel.

Patients today want their dentistry more esthetic but less invasive and composite resin accomplishes both.Evidence suggests that composites can provide optimal esthetics with minimal or no tooth intervention, immediately improving esthetics while leaving options for future orthodontic and restorative care.Furthermore, as a person ages, so do their restorations.

Eventually, teeth that have been restored will break down and need to have those restorations replaced.Fortunately, if an initial restoration was created using minimally invasive procedures, there should be more tooth structure to work with at the time when a second restoration may be needed.

In this way, the biomimetic approach takes into account both the present and future dental health of the patient.

Nowadays, there are many modern composite resins developed for highly esthetic procedures that, when properly used, can result in restorations that are indistinguishable from natural dentition.This article extrapolates the minimally invasive biomimetic principles of restoration and applies them to procedures for introducing missing tissue and creating cosmetic improvements, which ultimately benefit the patient’s overall oral health and appearance.

The process of mimicking tissue that was not initially present uses biomimetic methodology similar to that used in restorative dentistry that conserves tooth structure. Two cases will be presented that demonstrate the diversity of options biomimetic techniques provide for the field of cosmetic dentistry.
