Restorative Dentistry
Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry
How does Dr. Davey Alleman describe biomimetic dentistry?
Don’t kill teeth, and conserve more tooth structure.
“This is best accomplished with early diagnosis and early treatment. I make sure patients understand what is causing their symptoms and pathology and how I can use the latest research-backed treatments to resolve them.”
Conservative & Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Minimally invasive dentistry saves natural tooth structure by only removing tooth structure around the pathology or tooth structure that impairs the ability to fully treat the pathology. This offers a more customized approach to treating your tooth based on its needs, made possible by advanced adhesion instead of traditional retention approaches.
Fillings & Alternatives
Most adults in the U.S. have a dental filling, but not all fillings are created equal. Biomimetic fillings mimic a natural tooth, so they last longer and protect your oral health.
At Alleman Dental, we offer:
Biomimetic fillings that last longer than traditional fillings, while protecting your tooth
Silver filling and amalgam removal

Crowns, Overlays, Onlays & Inlays
We offer conservative alternatives to full-coverage crowns that fully treat pathologies and support your healthy tooth structure.
Biomimetic inlays treat the crack while conserving essential tooth structure.
Traditional crowns cut away the same amount of tooth structure, regardless of pathologies.
Deep Margin Elevation
Deep margin elevation is a restorative technique that replaces missing tooth structure below the gum due to caries or crack treatment.
Benefits for patients:
Deep margin elevation is the conservative approach, preventing surgery and preserving tooth structure.
Deep margin elevation saves time and money, as it is completed during the same appointment as your treatment.
Cracked & Damaged Teeth
Cracks in teeth are most commonly associated with extreme force, like injury that would break a tooth or biting a very hard food. While this can crack teeth, cracks can also form over time from regular chewing, most commonly in teeth with fillings or crowns, but also in untreated teeth.
At Alleman Dental, we use high magnification and a risk assessment to diagnose cracks early and treat them in your teeth to relieve symptoms and help your teeth stay healthy.
A large composite restoration failed to support the surrounding tooth structure, causing a crack to form under a cusp (visible as a white line). The crack is removed and the tooth is restored biomimetically. Case by Dr. Davey Alleman, DMD.
Bite Adjustment
(Occlusal Adjustment)
A bite adjustment, also called occlusal adjustment, modifies how your teeth come together when you bite and chew. This can range from small adjustments on individual teeth to full-mouth adjustments to treat discomfort in the jaw, face and neck.
