Biomimetic Dentistry In St. George, Utah

Preserve. Protect. Perfect.

At SmileArt Utah, Dr. Taylor Workman practices biomimetic dentistry — an advanced, minimally invasive approach that restores teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. Instead of simply repairing damage, we mimic nature.

What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry (from “bio” = life, “mimetic” = imitate) focuses on restoring teeth the way nature designed them— flexible, strong, and preserved.

Rather than grinding down healthy enamel for crowns or invasive restorations, Dr. Workman uses cutting-edge adhesive techniques and materials to save as much of your natural tooth as possible.


The goal: restore your tooth’s function and beauty while reducing the need for future retreatment or root canals.

Why Patients Choose Biomimetic Dentistry

Most traditional dentistry removes more tooth than necessary. Biomimetic dentistry is different — it’s conservative, precise, and built to last.

  • Preserve healthy tooth structure
  • Reduce risk of root canal treatment
  • Strengthen teeth with bonded restorations
  • Minimize post-treatment sensitivity
  • Restore natural esthetics and bite function

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Care

  • Is biomimetic dentistry the same as cosmetic dentistry?

    No — cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, while biomimetic focuses on function, preservation, and natural structure. Many treatments overlap beautifully.

  • Will it look natural?

    Yes. Every material and layer is designed to mimic natural tooth translucency, texture, and light reflection.

  • Is it more expensive than traditional treatment?

    Often similar in cost — but saves money long-term by avoiding repeat procedures and crown replacements.

  • Can any dentist do biomimetic restorations?

    Only those trained in adhesive biomimetic techniques and isolation protocols, like Dr. Workman, can ensure the results perform as intended.

  • How long do biomimetic restorations last?

    When properly bonded and maintained, biomimetic restorations often outlast traditional fillings or crowns.
