What Is Biological Tooth Restoration?
Biological tooth restoration is an advanced approach to repairing damaged teeth using materials and techniques that closely mimic your natural tooth structure. When you have tooth decay, fractures, or damage from old dental work, the lost enamel needs to be replaced. However, traditional dental materials like mercury amalgam fillings, metal crowns, or even some ceramics are nothing like your original tooth enamel. The restoration materials we choose are completely biocompatible, meaning they work in harmony with your body without causing allergic reactions, energy disruptions, or long-term health complications.
At Blodgett Dental Care, we practice “Enamel Replacement Therapy” using modern bondable dental ceramics that are virtually identical to your natural tooth structure. Our biological approach goes far beyond just replacing the missing tooth structure. We use minimally invasive techniques that preserve as much of your healthy tooth as possible, removing only what’s damaged or diseased.
These biocompatible materials not only look exactly like real teeth, but they also function the same way – expanding and contracting with temperature changes, providing similar strength and flexibility, and integrating seamlessly with your remaining tooth structure.
The result is a restoration that’s so natural-looking and natural-feeling that you’ll forget which teeth have been repaired. More importantly, these biological restorations support your overall health by eliminating toxic materials and creating a harmonious oral environment that supports your body’s natural healing processes.
Whether you need to replace old mercury fillings, repair fractured teeth, or restore teeth damaged by decay, our biological tooth restoration approach ensures that your repairs will look beautiful, function perfectly, and support your long-term health and wellness.

Patient Testimonials: A Biological Approach to Tooth Restoration
These are the voices of our happy patients and their stories. Experience first-hand the sense of unique community and individual care in Dr. Blodgett’s practice.
“I am 7 days post extraction of 2 teeth (root canaled 18-20 years ago), and placement of a provisional pontic for my front tooth… Yet another reason why I decided to have my care done here was so that I could have the BEST possible foundation for bone restoration, health and eventual (Zirconia) implants– utilizing their state of the art equipment and progressive protocols. Knowing that they used my own L-PRF to restore the bone and cleaned out any infection thoroughly really put my mind at ease… Day 3 for my post-op appointment, I was given a red-light therapy device and homeopathic remedies instead of antibiotics & prescription pain meds.”
Jaclyn H.
“I needed a tooth replaced so rather than having a root canal which can come with risks, I opted for an implant. Dr. Blodgett is on the leading edge of dentistry. All of the work , (making the new tooth etc.) was done in his office. I did not have to wait for a second appointment to have it completed. He is meticulous in his attention to detail. The implant looks perfect, even the color match. No one can tell which tooth was replaced! Dr. Blodgett is my dentist for life!”
Bonnie S.
“All the work (removal of 4 root canals) was done very professionally and the results created no problems and no need for pain killers. Very impressed with the office and office staff. I would definitely recommend Dr. Blodgett and this Dental Care. We came all the way from Michigan and happy we did.”
Bunny M.
“Dr. Blodgett is a very capable dentist who does great work. He has the latest technology and a very inviting office environment. He and his staff are friendly and explain things clearly. I can recommend him strongly.”
