Dr Cody Forkan

Dr. Cody Forkan of Crown 7 Dentistry in Butte, Montana, is a firm believer in Biomimetic Dentistry, a revolutionary approach that honors the natural resilience and intricate design of our teeth. Nature has equipped our teeth to endure formidable challenges, withstanding bite pressures that can exceed 200 pounds per square inch. This remarkable durability stems from the combination of a hard, protective outer enamel and a resilient inner dentin, which work together to absorb and evenly distribute the forces encountered during chewing and biting. However, the integrity of our teeth can be compromised by decay or the presence of traditional fillings, disrupting this protective complex and increasing the risk of fractures or failure. Biomimetic dentistry offers a transformative solution by mimicking the natural structure of teeth and restoring their inherent strength. By utilizing advanced bonding techniques, biomimetic dentistry effectively prevents the stresses caused by the expansion and contraction of traditional fillings, thereby preserving the tooth’s ability to absorb biting forces naturally. At Crown 7 Dentistry, we uphold two fundamental principles of Biomimetic Dentistry: Early Intervention: Treating weakened teeth promptly is crucial to preserving healthy enamel and providing a stable foundation for biomimetic bonding. This proactive approach reduces the need for invasive treatments and promotes long-term dental health. Advanced Techniques: Our biomimetic bonding techniques are designed to: Thoroughly eliminate old bacteria and infection. Create a durable seal against future infections. Minimize sensitivity. Restore the natural strength and functionality of the tooth. As pioneers of biomimetic dentistry in Butte, Montana, Dr. Cody Forkan and his team at Crown 7 Dentistry are committed to offering patients a conservative and effective alternative to traditional dental practices.
