Experience Sustainable Results With Biomimetic Dental Care

Whatever treatment you need, Dr. Jivraj and his entire team are committed to giving you care that promotes good dental health and general well-being. We use advanced techniques to ensure that you keep your healthy tissue and treat only what needs to be treated. We call this tooth preservation. In other words, we want to be as minimally invasive as possible and find solutions that will keep your mouth healthy without causing damage!

This encompasses all of our dental restorations, such as:

  • Tooth Fillings - We will use air abrasion and dental laser treatment to remove only the decayed area from your tooth. We'll then fill your tooth with a strong, biocompatible, tooth-colored material that will look and feel like your natural tooth enamel. No more large holes and metal fillings!
  • Dental Crowns and Bridges - Our in-house prosthodontists will recommend the most complementary materials to create your crowns and bridges. They will be made at our in-house lab by master technicians who are under Dr. Jivraj's supervision. Whenever possible, we will use an inlay or onlay to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
  • Dental Implants - Our implant process is to preserve as much of your natural bone as possible so that your jaw remains healthy and strong. Our implants are artificial tooth roots that will be made of materials that fuse with your bone and withstand your natural biting force. You can expect better oral function overall and a natural-feeling replacement tooth.

By choosing our practice, you'll find specialists to meet your unique dental needs, whether you need a restoration, root canal, or treatment for gum disease. We go above and beyond for our patients! See how biomimetic dentistry in Oxnard benefits your smile by calling us today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer. Saturday appointments are available upon request.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely...

I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning, and it was much more service-oriented and comprehensive than I expected.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

Common Questions About Biomimetic Dentistry

What is biomimetic dentistry?

Biomimetic dentistry is essentially dentistry that works to preserve your natural tooth, bone, and tissue structures without causing damage during treatment. In other words, we make it our goal to be minimally invasive with our treatment so that you maintain what nature has given you.

What are some examples of biomimetic dentistry? 

One of the most common procedures we perform is a tooth filling. In the past, the common practice would be to remove a large section of an otherwise healthy tooth and fill it with a metal or amalgam filling. The biomimetic dentistry approach is to use precise treatment tools, such as lasers and air abrasion, to remove only the decayed area of the tooth. We then fill the area left behind with biocompatible composite resin to restore your tooth back to function. If you have a large area of decay, we would try to restore your tooth with an inlay or onlay rather than removing healthy tooth in order to place a dental crown.

Is biomimetic dentistry expensive?

You'll find that biomimetic dentistry is very cost-effective because it is minimally invasive. The entire goal is to do LESS to your natural tooth so that it remains as strong as possible throughout your entire life. Biomimetic treatments are very precise and predictable.
