Biomimetic (Integrative Wellness) Dentistry
True Wellness Begins in the Mouth
At The Paddington Dental Surgery in Sydney, we believe true wellness begins in the mouth. Our integrative approach to dentistry connects oral care with your overall health, helping you look, feel, and live at your best.
Our approach combines the principles of biomimetic dentistry with total health strategies, ensuring that every treatment supports both your smile and your systemic health. Whether through advanced restorative techniques, disease prevention, or wellness-focused screenings, we aim to help you not only heal but thrive.
Comprehensive, Integrative Approach
When the mouth is treated as an integral part of the body (not in isolation), everything begins to align. Once sources of inflammation, toxicity, and infection are removed, balance is restored: function and form return, energy lifts, and confidence shines through a revitalised smile.
We’ve seen thousands of patients regain vitality and systemic health simply by removing oral interferences that had silently impacted their well-being for years.
We offer personalised care plans that may include:
- Advanced restorative procedures
- Disease prevention and oral cancer screening
- Sleep and airway management
- Headache and migraine relief
- Cosmetic enhancements
Biologically speaking, healing only begins when you take complete control of your health. Addressing the mouth as part of the whole body creates the ultimate pathway to wellness. And when the mouth and body are finally in harmony, you don’t just heal – you thrive.
That is the ultimate form of health. That is the ultimate way of living.
What We Do as Biological Dentists
At The Paddington Dental Surgery, we see the mouth as the gateway to the body. When your mouth is healthy, your whole body benefits. That’s why our biological approach goes beyond “teeth;” we restore smiles while protecting your overall health, vitality, and confidence.
Advanced Screening & Disease Prevention
We prioritise early detection and prevention to protect your long-term health. Examples include:
Oral Cancer Screening
Every dental visit includes a visual oral cancer check, and for added safety, we use a VELscope® Vx device. This blue-spectrum light allows us to detect soft tissue abnormalities before they are visible to the naked eye. Early detection is crucial to improving survival rates.
Sterilisation & Safety Standards
Our clinic follows hospital-quality sterilisation protocols, using state-of-the-art systems including MELAG Premium-Plus-Class sterilisers, single-use instruments, hyper-filtered water, and stringent surface sanitation. Combined with advanced team training, these measures ensure the safest, most hygienic experience possible.
Periodontal Health & Disease Management
Gum disease and other oral health concerns can impact both your smile and systemic wellbeing. Our dentists are skilled in advanced periodontal treatments, including osseous surgery and gum grafting, to restore balance and protect long-term health.
Sleep Apnoea & Snoring Solutions
We offer custom oral appliances, mandibular advancement splints, and home sleep monitoring to address snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. These treatments improve sleep quality, energy levels, and overall health.
Headache & TMJ Relief
Devices such as the NTI-TSS can alleviate migraines, jaw pain, and neck tension where traditional treatments may fail.
Restorative & Biomimetic Techniques
Our team uses advanced techniques to restore teeth while conserving healthy structure:
Safe Mercury Removal – We follow IAOMT SMART protocols to safely remove old silver amalgam fillings. Using advanced barriers, high-volume suction, protective equipment, and air filtration, we protect you, our team, and the environment.
Biomimetic Restorations
Instead of cutting teeth down unnecessarily, we conserve healthy structure and rebuild them to behave like natural enamel and dentine: strong, flexible, and protective.
Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers allow us to gently disinfect and treat gum disease, ulcers, and infections, helping tissues heal faster with minimal discomfort.
Splint Therapy
Custom splints and night guards protect against clenching and grinding, relieving jaw strain and preserving tooth structure. For patients with snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnoea, we design oral appliances that gently reposition the lower jaw. This keeps the airway open, reduces snoring, and can transform sleep quality, energy levels, and overall health.
Comfort-Focused Care
From happy gas and IV sedation to aromatherapy and noise-cancelling headphones, every detail is designed to make your visit calm, gentle, and stress-free.
Materials & Technology
We use only biocompatible materials and advanced technology to ensure safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing results:
- Biocompatible fillings – BPA-free, safe composites that bond strongly and naturally.
- Ceramic and zirconia restorations – Metal-free, durable, and beautiful.
- High-purity gold and titanium – Chosen selectively when their unique strength and safety are the best fit.
Our Equipment
- Purified water systems – Every treatment room is supplied with filtered, purified water for cleaner, safer care.
- Digital 3D imaging – Low-dose, high-definition imaging for precise diagnosis with minimal exposure.
- iTero® Digital Scanners – Mess-free 3D scans for Invisalign®, crowns, and bite analysis.
- Tekscan bite analysis – Advanced digital technology to perfect bite balance and protect joints and muscles.
- EMS AIRFLOW® cleaning – A gentle, powder-based cleaning system for comfortable, thorough biofilm removal.
- Air purification systems – Extraoral suction and HEPA-level air filters keep every treatment room ultra-clean.
Sydney’s Leading Biomimetic Dental Centre
The Paddington Dental Surgery is proud to be recognised as Sydney’s leading centre for biomimetic dentistry, a modern approach that focuses on conserving and strengthening natural teeth. Rather than removing large amounts of healthy structure, biomimetic techniques use advanced bonding methods and materials that mimic the natural properties of enamel and dentine. This results in restorations that are stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural in both look and function.
World-Class Expertise
Our principal dentist, Dr Duncan Copp, is Australia’s only graduate of the prestigious IDEA (Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy) in San Francisco, having been awarded a Master in Esthetic Restorative Dentistry. In addition, he remains the only dentist in Australia to hold a Master of Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry.
This unique combination of advanced training and decades of clinical experience places The Paddington Dental Surgery at the forefront of biomimetic and cosmetic dentistry, providing patients with world-class care right here in Sydney.
