Why Choosing a Dentist Based On Convenience May Prove To Not Be So Convenient After All

Updated: Mar 28

You type “dentist near me” into your browser, hoping to find someone local and convenient. But choosing a dentist based solely on location can sometimes turn out to be anything but convenient. Most dentists perform traditional treatments like crowns and root canals—procedures that are not only expensive but also require multiple visits. If things go wrong, you’ll spend even more time, money, and stress fixing the problem. That’s not convenient.



So what’s the smarter option?

Many people don’t realize there’s a better way—Biomimetic Dentistry.

This advanced, minimally invasive approach focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible. Using bio-emulating materials that mimic the natural properties of your tooth, biomimetic dentistry restores teeth in a way that feels and functions like the real thing. It also aims to avoid unnecessary root canals, crowns, bridges, and extractions.


Because these techniques require special training, it’s important to find a dentist certified in Biomimetic Dentistry. While they might not be right around the corner, the benefits speak for themselves:

  • Fewer visits

  • Less invasive treatment

  • Better long-term outcomes

  • Greater preservation of your natural teeth

  • More cost-effective overall


Let’s do the math. If you could avoid a root canal, crown, and surgical crown lengthening with just one biomimetic visit, wouldn’t that actually be more convenient? Not to mention more affordable. Many dental insurance plans max out around $1,500—and that’s often used up after a couple of cleanings and one filling. So whether your insurance covers 0% or 60% of a costly, traditional treatment becomes irrelevant once you’ve hit your limit.


Biomimetic restorations save more than teeth—they save you time and money, with fewer procedures and less time in the dental chair.

Bottom line: Seeing a skilled biomimetic dentist—even if they’re a bit farther away—can end up being much more convenient than multiple appointments with an average local provider. Conservative, modern dentistry done right the first time is the smartest investment in your smile.
