How Much Does BioClear Cost?

There are various methods for evaluating the cost for using Bioclear matrix restorations. One helpful way to evaluate the cost is to look at the cost for Bioclear and compare it to the cost of a veneer. The cost for a porcelain veneer can be $1,000-$2,000 dollars. While the cost of a veneer procedure is important, it’s also important to consider the loss of the tooth structure during the veneer placement. A Bioclear restoration typically costs a fourth or half the amount of a porcelain veneer. Another benefit is that there is no need to remove tooth structure for the Bioclear method. A Bioclear restoration can help patients save both money and their tooth structure.

Another helpful way to evaluate the cost is by comparing the cost of Bioclear restorations to the cost for traditional bonded restorations. The process of placing bonding is far simpler than the Bioclear Method. With bonding, the area is prepared and layers of composite are placed on the tooth. With Bioclear, the teeth are isolated and the tooth surfaces are decontaminated to ensure there is no bacteria on the tooth’s surface. Clear forms are then placed around the teeth and slightly below the gum. The surface agents are then placed and the composite is heated and formed. These techniques are used to ensure the Bioclear is strong and durable. It is important to understand the difference in the techniques and materials used in order to understand the cost. Up front, Bioclear appears to be more expensive than bonding. Bioclear typically cost $100-$200 dollars more than bonding, however, it lasts longer and is more attractive.

Cost of Bioclear Materials

Bioclear is a different procedure compared to bonding. In order to offer the Bioclear method, a dentist must make a substantial investment. The cost of the materials includes a special composite heating device, special composite, patented clear forms, surface and applications, isolation materials and specialized instruments used for cleaning and placement. These materials are not usually present in a traditional dental office. The second major investment the dentist will make is for the necessary Bioclear method education. The Bioclear learning center is located in Tacoma, WA which requires most dentists to travel. The training consists of three sessions and each session takes three days for a total of nine days.

Bioclear matrices and the Bioclear method are minimally invasive and provide a strong and natural-looking restoration solution for worn, chipped and damaged teeth. Bioclear is different, though both methods use a composite material. Bioclear, however, uses special designed clear matrices and a warm injection molding technique which results in aesthetically pleasing results. The Bioclear method is three times stronger than bonding and equivalent in strength to porcelain veneers. When comparing the cost, Bioclear costs 25-50% of the cost for veneers and about 25% more than traditional bonding. Bioclear is an ideal solution for patients who have dark triangles, chipped or worn teeth and can rejuvenate the edges of the front teeth. Most importantly, the existing tooth structure is not damaged. Contact us today to discuss how Bioclear can help improve your smile.
