Bioclear in Detroit provides an affordable, non-invasive solution for a restored, radiant smile.

Bioclear

At Harbortown Dental Care, we aim to bring you the most innovative dental procedures. Dr. Faircloth has completed additional training to provide Bioclear treatment for patients seeking a minimally invasive way to restore gaps between teeth, eliminate black triangles, address discoloration, or repair chipped or broken teeth, without the need for veneers or crowns.

This leading-edge approach allows us to deliver beautiful, lasting results while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

What Are the Advantages of Bioclear?

Bioclear provides several advantages our patients appreciate.

Preserves Enamel

Unlike porcelain crowns and veneers, Bioclear doesn't require removal of tooth enamel, helping you maintain a healthier smile over the long term.

Quick Treatment

Dr. Faircloth can typically complete a Bioclear procedure during one visit to our dental office, making it a convenient option for busy patients.

Strong and Durable

Bioclear gives you peace of mind because restorations are highly durable and reliable, providing strength by fully covering the tooth.

Cost-Effective

Bioclear is typically less expensive than a custom porcelain veneer or crown.

Seamless Result

Bioclear offers a natural appearance that blends seamlessly into your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Great question! Both Bioclear and porcelain veneers can beautifully transform your smile, but they work in very different ways, and the right choice depends on your unique needs and goals.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of ceramic custom-crafted in a dental lab and bonded over the front surface of your teeth. While they deliver stunning, long-lasting results, the process typically requires removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit. This makes veneers a permanent, irreversible commitment.

Understanding Bioclear

Bioclear, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive alternative that uses heated, injectable composite material to reshape and restore teeth. Rather than removing enamel, the Bioclear method builds up and sculpts your natural tooth, preserving its structure. It's performed entirely in-office, often in a single visit, which means no waiting on a dental lab and no temporary restorations in the meantime.

Which Option Is Right for Me?

Here's a quick comparison:

Invasiveness — Bioclear preserves natural enamel; veneers require enamel reduction.
Process — Bioclear is completed chairside in one visit; veneers typically require two or more appointments.
Cost — Bioclear is generally the more affordable option.
Durability — Both are long-lasting with proper care.

What Is Bioclear?

Bioclear is a specialized dental bonding method that uses an exclusive composite formula to address minor cosmetic concerns and enhance your teeth. Unlike traditional bonding techniques, the Bioclear method wraps the material around the tooth completely, creating a more durable, flawless restoration that looks and feels completely natural.

How Does Bioclear Work?

Bioclear replaces free-hand application with clear mylar matrices that shape heated composite around the entire tooth. After etching for a proper bond, Dr. Faircloth cures the material with a light, then removes the matrices and sculpts, smooths, and polishes the restoration to a natural, tooth-colored finish. The result is a seamless, precisely shaped restoration that integrates beautifully with your surrounding teeth.
