Preserve Natural Teeth with Biomimetic Dentistry in Los Angeles

Dr. Paul O’Malley leads one of Los Angeles’ most advanced biomimetic and holistic dental practices. Located in Encino and serving patients throughout the greater Los Angeles area, his work is centered on one mission: to preserve the natural strength, structure, and beauty of every tooth. Biomimetic dentistry is the science of restoring teeth in the way nature designed them to function: strong, flexible, and alive. Instead of grinding down healthy enamel or performing unnecessary root canals, Dr. O’Malley rebuilds damaged teeth layer by layer, mimicking the natural biomechanics of enamel and dentin. The result is dentistry that looks, feels, and performs like the real thing: long-lasting restorations that protect your teeth for life while supporting overall health and harmony.

What Is Biomimetic Dentistry?

Biomimetic means mimicking life. As a Master in Biomimetic Dentistry, Dr. O’Malley rebuilds teeth in layers using composite and porcelain combinations to replicate the strength and flexibility of the natural tooth structures (dentin and enamel). Every restoration is designed to work with your body’s biology, not against it.

Core Principles of Biomimetic Dentistry:

  • Preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible
  • Use bonding and layering techniques that replicate real enamel
  • Eliminate unnecessary crowns and root canals
  • Select biocompatible, mercury-free, and metal-free materials
  • Strengthen the tooth for long-term function and protection

This approach reduces stress on teeth, prevents fractures, and ensures restorations last longer than traditional methods.

The Importance of Tooth Preservation

Your natural teeth are remarkably strong—built to endure the pressures of biting and chewing while maintaining balance and comfort. When healthy tooth structure is unnecessarily removed, the result is a weaker, more vulnerable tooth. Dr. O’Malley’s approach preserves:

  • Strength: By maintaining natural enamel, teeth retain their resilience and resistance to fracture.
  • Function: A preserved tooth allows for natural bite alignment and chewing efficiency.
  • Comfort: Avoiding invasive procedures minimizes post-treatment sensitivity and discomfort.
  • Longevity: Teeth restored biomimetically last longer and require fewer future treatments.

By conserving healthy structure and rebuilding only what is damaged, Dr. O’Malley restores teeth that look and function like nature intended.

Supporting Natural Healing and Whole-Body Health

Every biomimetic restoration procedure performed by Dr. O'Malley in Los Angeles supports the body’s natural healing processes. By using minimally invasive methods and non-toxic, biocompatible materials, Dr. O’Malley creates conditions that allow the tooth to strengthen and stabilize over time.

Our Holistic, Healing-Focused Approach:

  • Prevent inflammation and systemic impact

This is dentistry designed not only to restore your smile—but to protect your long-term wellness.

Advanced Biomimetic Techniques and Materials

Dr. O’Malley integrates biomimetic science with modern technology to produce restorations that are as close to nature as possible. Every detail is carefully chosen for safety, durability, and beauty.

Techniques and Materials Used:

  • Mercury-free and metal-free composite restorations
  • Ultra-thin veneers requiring minimal preparation
  • High-strength ceramic inlays and onlays
  • GentleWave technology for root preservation when needed
  • Diagnostic imaging to precisely target only affected areas

By combining holistic and biomimetic principles, Dr. O’Malley delivers care that is both technologically advanced and biologically sound.

Why We Avoid Crowns and Root Canals Whenever Possible

Traditional dentistry often relies on crowns or root canals to resolve damage, even when more conservative options exist. These treatments can weaken teeth by removing significant amounts of healthy tissue.

Dr. O’Malley’s Conservative Philosophy:

  • Crowns are used only when replacing old defective crowns placed by another dentist in the past
  • Root Canals are reduced by up to 70% with the application of advanced biomimetic dentistry
  • Biomimetic restorations rebuild the tooth’s strength by replacing dentin with composite, and the enamel chewing surface with porcelain. This mimics Mother Nature.
  • Advanced diagnostics identify the least invasive treatment path

When preservation replaces removal, your teeth stay stronger for life.
