Why isn't biomimetic dentistry covered by insurance? ❌

Insurance doesn't cover biomimetic dentistry, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it. Insurance was built around the drill-fill-crown cycle. Biomimetic dentistry was built around keeping you out of that cycle, which is why most plans haven't caught up to it yet.

If a little extra cost kept you out of the dental chair for years at a time, would that be worth it?

Just because biomimetic dentistry isn't in your insurance coupon book doesn't mean it isn't the stronger, longer-lasting option. It means insurance is rewarding repeat work, and biomimetic dentistry is built to avoid it.

We asked Dr. Ellie some of the most common questions we see and hear about biomimetic dentistry.

One of the most common oral stressors that destroy our body is what's called a cavitation: areas of unhealed jaw bone after an extraction wasn't done properly. The only way to fix this is to go back in, remove the disease, and get the blood flowing back in that area.

It's a controversial topic. Dr. Will knew he had them after seeing a CT of his jaw. So he's letting his mentor remove them to see what changes occur in his body.

We don't do root canals at The Burkitt Center.

Conventional dentistry treats a root canal as the standard fix for an infected or dying tooth. Drill out the nerve, fill the chamber, crown it, move on. The tooth stays in the mouth. The tooth is also dead.

We made a different call. A tooth is a living organ. Vascular, neural, connected to the rest of the body. Mummifying it and sealing it back into the jaw doesn't preserve the tooth. It parks a non-sterile object in living tissue.

When a tooth can't be saved alive, we extract it cleanly, clear the surrounding bone, and rebuild with a biocompatible replacement. Ceramic implant, bridge, or guided regeneration depending on the case. The mouth heals. The body integrates.

That's why we walked away from root canals. It's the same reason we built around biological dentistry: every clinical decision has to answer to the whole body. The tooth is part of a system.

Save this if root canal came up at your last appointment and you want to know what the alternatives are.
