Keeping your teeth, yours.

Ultra-conservative ceramic restorations, bonded to the tooth instead of cut to fit it. For worn, cracked and heavily restored teeth, every plan starts from one principle: remove as little as possible.

The Bio-Emulation philosophy

Nature built the best tooth.
Our endeavour is to emulate it.

Conventional dentistry often trades healthy tooth for a restoration: a crown needs the tooth ground down, and a root canal can follow. Biomimetic dentistry works the other way. Modern adhesives bond ceramic and composite to enamel and dentine, so a damaged tooth can be rebuilt to behave, and look, like the original.

Observe

Diagnose first: magnification, intra-oral scans, in-clinic CBCT and photographs before any recommendation.

Preserve

Prevention and maintenance come first. Intervene only where it's needed.

Conserve

When treatment is needed, remove as little as possible. Bond instead of cutting.

Serve

A plan built around your long-term health, explained clearly and never rushed.

“The most conservative option is almost always the one with the most options left for the future. A tooth that can be saved should be saved.”

Dr David Huson

Comprehensive biomimetic care

For mouths that need
more than a filling.

Most patients arrive with several problems at once: old crowns and fillings failing, teeth worn by grinding or acid, cracks that ache on biting. Rather than patch one tooth at a time, we plan the whole mouth together.

Worn & eroded teeth

Lost height and shape rebuilt with additive, bonded ceramics, often with little or no drilling of healthy tooth.

02Illustration of a heavily filled molar with a crack through the cusp

Cracked & heavily filled teeth

Cracked teeth sealed and reinforced with bonded ceramic onlays instead of full crowns, to help avoid root canal treatment.

Failing crowns, fillings & root canals

Old metal and crown work replaced conservatively. Failing root canal treatments are redone, not extracted, wherever the tooth can be saved.

Your first visit

How comprehensive care works.

01

Consultation

A long first appointment: your history, concerns and goals, and a full examination.

02

Records

Intra-oral scans, photographs and radiographs, so your mouth can be studied in detail.

03

Your plan

A written, phased plan with options and costs. You choose the pace.

04

Treatment & care

Precise, unhurried treatment, followed by maintenance to protect the result.

Fees are settled directly with the practice. We don't claim from medical aids, but we'll give you everything you need to claim back yourself.

Digital records

No impression trays. Just a precise 3D scan.

Instead of trays of impression putty, Dr Huson records your teeth with the DEXIS™ Imprevo intraoral scanner: a slim wand that captures a detailed, full-colour 3D model of your mouth.

  • More comfortable. No mouthful of impression material, just a small, light scanner tip.
  • Precise. Highly accurate digital models for planning and for ceramic restorations designed to fit closely.
  • See what we see. Your scan appears on screen in true colour, so Dr Huson can show you exactly what is happening and why.
  • One scan, many uses. Your scan helps plan implants (together with a CBCT scan), clear aligner treatment, and lets us monitor tooth wear and tooth movement by comparing scans from different visits.
  • Hygienic. The scanner tip is sterilised in an autoclave between patients.

Dr Huson was the first dentist in South Africa to use the DEXIS Imprevo.

About Dr Huson

A dentist who would rather save the tooth.

Dr David Huson practises restorative and biomimetic dentistry at the Enamel Clinic in Green Point, Cape Town. He is the Bio-Emulation Ambassador for South Africa, representing an international group of clinicians, technicians and educators dedicated to rivalling nature, optically and functionally, through adhesive, minimally invasive dentistry.

His work rests on one conviction: a tooth that can be saved should be saved. That means bonded ceramics before crowns, re-treatment before extraction, and time spent planning before anything is cut.
