What is Biomimetic Dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry is a dental approach focused on restoring teeth using materials and techniques that mimic the natural properties of your teeth. Unlike traditional dental procedures that often involve drilling and the removal of healthy tooth structure, biomimetic dentistry preserves as much of your natural tooth as possible, supporting long-term health and strength. The protocols and materials used represent the gold standard in restorative dentistry, and the approach is specifically designed to help patients avoid root canals, full crowns, and unnecessary extraction.
Cosmetic and Restorative Treatments LA Dental Clinic Offers
LA Dental Clinic applies biomimetic principles across a range of restorative and cosmetic treatments in Los Angeles. Every procedure is planned around the goal of preserving the maximum amount of natural tooth structure.
Luma Porcelain Veneers
Minimal or no-prep veneers designed to preserve natural tooth structure.
Luma Composite Bonding Veneers
The Luma Technique, built by hand in thin layers to replicate the depth and translucency of real enamel.
Inlays, Onlays and Overlays
Conservative alternatives to full crowns that preserve the healthy parts of your tooth.
Root Canal and Crown Alternatives
Where clinically appropriate, LA Dental Clinic works to avoid extraction, root canals and full crown preparation.
Margin Elevation
Instead of bone removal, LA Dental Clinic uses margin elevation to make deep restorations accessible without surgical intervention.
Second-Opinion Consultations
Patients told they need a root canal or extraction are welcome to come in for a clinical second opinion.
Why Choose a Biomimetic Dentist
LA Dental Clinic's biomimetic approach in Los Angeles is built on protocols and materials that most general dental practices do not use. The clinical benefits are specific and measurable.
-
The protocols and materials used are the gold standard in dentistry. You receive the best materials available, placed according to a rigorous evidence-based protocol.
- Biomimetic dentistry reduces the likelihood of post-operative pain and sensitivity following fillings or other restorative work.
- Patients treated with biomimetic protocols have a significantly higher chance of avoiding root canal treatment.
- A biomimetic dentist has the clinical skill to save teeth that a general dentist might recommend extracting.
- The approach is less likely to require a surgical intervention to repair a badly broken-down tooth.
How Biomimetic Dentistry Works at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic follows a structured three-step biomimetic protocol for every restorative case in Los Angeles. Each step is clinically necessary and is applied consistently regardless of the complexity of the case.
1
Rubber Dam Placement and Fiber Mesh Insertion
LA Dental Clinic uses a rubber dam to isolate your tooth from the bacteria in your saliva, protecting the restoration during treatment. The tooth is then reconstructed from the inside out using a fiber mesh embedded within the layers of composite filling. This mesh acts like rebar inside a cement wall, reinforcing the tooth from within and substantially reducing the risk of fracture under bite load.
2
Selective Caries Removal
LA Dental Clinic takes care to preserve the healthy nerves in your teeth during caries removal. Rather than removing all softened dentin to clear margins, selective caries removal allows Dr. Nasiry to carefully remove only the infected tissue while leaving healthy nerve tissue intact. This is the clinical step that most directly reduces the likelihood of requiring root canal treatment after restoration.
3
Rebuilding the Tooth with Biocompatible Materials
For teeth with significant structural loss, LA Dental Clinic isolates the tooth under a rubber dam and rebuilds it with biocompatible materials that bond directly to the natural tooth structure. These materials reduce the risk of fracture and post-operative sensitivity compared to traditional restorative methods. LA Dental Clinic also uses high magnification to identify and address developing cracks before they propagate. Permanent treatment does not proceed until you are fully satisfied with the provisional result.
Onlay and Overlay Restorations
Where full crowns would traditionally be placed, LA Dental Clinic uses onlay and overlay restorations to preserve the healthy portions of your tooth and replace only the structurally compromised areas. This avoids the extensive enamel removal required for a full crown preparation and protects the integrity of the remaining natural tooth. Three badly damaged teeth with old, broken fillings can typically be restored using an inlay, onlay, and overlay combination without any of the teeth needing a full crown.

Dr. Azy Nasiry, Biomimetic Mastership Graduate
LA Dental Clinic's biomimetic dentistry program in Los Angeles is led by Dr. Azy Nasiry, DMD, a Biomimetic Mastership graduate from the Alleman Center of Biomimetic Dentistry. This certification represents the highest level of biomimetic training available and requires completing an extensive programme of coursework, case documentation, and clinical examination reviewed by faculty. Fewer than a hundred dentists in the United States have completed it.
Dr. Nasiry also holds a faculty position at the UCLA School of Dentistry, where she teaches advanced restorative and cosmetic technique to practicing dentists. The layered composite bonding approach she developed, the Luma Technique, is taught to dental professionals nationwide and applies the same incremental philosophy that underpins every biomimetic restoration placed at LA Dental Clinic. Patients here are being treated by the clinician who trains other dentists, not one who attended a weekend seminar.

"I came in for a dental emergency and they took care of me day of! They were also so fast which I appreciate. The room had a tv, the staff were nice, and I will be coming back.
It was definitely pricey as I do not have dental insurance, but you get what you pay for."

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"
Stefanie W.
"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"This is my first time here at LA Dental Clinic and I love how caring, relatable, professional, and knowledgeable Dr. Golara, Sara, Cynthia, and Gloria are. They let me know everything that is being done for my son's teeth. They were patience with him by ensuring that he understands what they are doing, the different instruments being used, how they are doing the x-rays, and etc. The office is very clean and they have parking, which is always a plus. Thank you for your help with my son and getting his perfect smile. The prices are very reasonable and not pressured into anything you do not feel comfortable doing. I highly recommend LA Dental Clinic to everyone."

"Dr. Azy, Jesus and Sara completely changed how I feel about my smile. I used to hide it and now I catch myself smiling more without even thinking. It feels so good to finally love it.

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is biomimetic dentistry?
Biomimetic dentistry focuses on restoring teeth using advanced materials that replicate the natural properties of your tooth structure. At LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles, this means preserving as much of your natural enamel and dentin as possible during every restoration, rather than removing healthy tissue to accommodate a conventional filling or crown. The result is better long-term tooth health and a lower likelihood of needing escalating treatment in the future.
How does biomimetic dentistry reduce the need for root canals?
By preserving the tooth structure and protecting the dental nerve during restoration, biomimetic dentistry reduces the bacterial exposure and stress on the pulp that typically leads to infection. At LA Dental Clinic, selective caries removal means only infected tissue is taken away while healthy nerve tissue is left intact. This is the clinical step that most directly reduces the chance of needing root canal treatment after a restoration is placed.
Is biomimetic dentistry suitable for everyone?
Biomimetic dentistry at LA Dental Clinic can address a wide range of restorative situations, from straightforward cavities to cracked teeth and significantly broken-down molars, as long as the remaining tooth structure is healthy enough to support a bonded restoration. The best way to determine whether you are a candidate is a clinical examination. Patients who have been told they need a crown or root canal are welcome to come in for a second-opinion assessment before proceeding with more invasive treatment.
How long do biomimetic restorations last?
With appropriate home care, biomimetic restorations at LA Dental Clinic are designed to last five to ten years or longer. The materials used are selected for their ability to bond securely to natural tooth structure and resist wear at the margins. Patients who grind or clench at night are typically advised to wear a protective night guard to extend the life of the restoration and protect the surrounding teeth.
Do actors and public figures seek out biomimetic dentistry, and why?
Yes. Actors, on-camera talent, and public figures treated at LA Dental Clinic prioritise biomimetic dentistry for two reasons: reliability and appearance. A restoration that fails unexpectedly creates both a clinical and a professional scheduling problem for someone whose career depends on their availability and appearance. The protocols used at LA Dental Clinic, including rubber dam isolation, fiber mesh reinforcement, and full adhesive bonding, produce restorations that are structurally sound and far less likely to fracture or debond under normal function. The same incremental layering that produces a natural result on camera also produces a restoration built to last. LA Dental Clinic treats this population regularly and understands the specific demands that public-facing careers place on restorative dental work.
Do I need Invisalign before veneers?
If your teeth are misaligned and your bite is not correct, Invisalign before veneers is typically the right sequence. At LA Dental Clinic, the smile design is completed first, then Invisalign is used to move your teeth to sit just behind where the final veneers will be placed. This approach avoids unnecessary shaving of natural tooth structure and allows for a significantly less invasive veneer preparation when the time comes.
Can I get no-prep veneers?
No-prep veneers work well when your teeth are already smaller than the final planned veneer shape. For most patients, LA Dental Clinic uses a combination of no-prep and minimal-prep veneers, depending on the starting position of each individual tooth and the cosmetic goals of the overall smile design. Every case is planned with conservation of natural tooth structure as the default position.
What kind of dental office is LA Dental Clinic?
LA Dental Clinic is a cosmetic dental practice. We are not a high volume office. Every treatment is personalized and designed for natural looking, long lasting cosmetic results.
