If you’re looking for a dentist who uses the Bioclear method in Queens, ask about their training and the kinds of cases they treat. Dr. Arthur Volker of SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth taught a hands-on Bioclear workshop at the 2024 Greater New York Dental Meeting.
What the Bioclear method is
Bioclear is a minimally invasive way to rebuild and reshape teeth using clear, anatomically shaped matrices and heated composite resin. Instead of drilling a tooth down for a crown or a traditional veneer, the dentist wraps the matrix around the tooth and injects warm composite, which is then sculpted into a smooth, natural contour. Because it adds material rather than removing healthy enamel, it is often described as additive, no-drill dentistry.
What Bioclear can fix
Black triangles — the small dark gaps that can open up near the gumline after gum recession, orthodontic treatment, or with age — are what Bioclear is best known for closing. It is also used to close spaces between front teeth, reshape small or narrow ‘peg’ lateral teeth, and rebuild worn or chipped edges. Whether it is the right choice depends on your tooth shape, gum health, and bite, so an in-person exam is the only way to know for sure.
Why training matters with Bioclear
The placement of the matrix and the way the composite is shaped and polished matter in Bioclear treatment. Ask the dentist about their training and experience treating cases like yours.
