About Shawn O'Berry
This Dana Point practice restores teeth using biomimetic methods, an approach its own material defines as copying nature — rebuilding a tooth the way it was designed rather than reshaping it to accept a conventional restoration. The stated sequence is early detection, proper removal of affected areas, and biomimetic restoration, with the aim of preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible and returning the tooth's natural flexibility, hardness and wear resistance. The practice contrasts this with older techniques that require removing sound structure and rely on crowns, and states that it no longer places crowns on teeth. The clinic is a general dental practice at 33493 Del Obispo St, seeing patients Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with Tuesday and Thursday by appointment.

Common Questions
What does this practice mean by biomimetic dentistry?
The practice defines biomimetic as copying nature — bio meaning life, mimetic meaning to mimic. Restoring a tooth biomimetically means rebuilding it the way teeth were designed, which requires fewer modifications to the tooth and keeps it a real tooth. The stated intent is that the restoration lasts as long as the tooth rather than being replaced on a cycle.
How does this approach differ from crowns and conventional fillings?
The practice states that outdated techniques require removing healthy tooth structure, treat crowns as the strongest restoration, and use materials harder and more abrasive than natural tooth. Its biomimetic protocol preserves healthy structure, places no more crowns on teeth, and restores the tooth's own flexibility, hardness and wear resistance so the restoration resists leakage at the margins.
How long has this practice worked biomimetically, and what training stands behind it?
Biomimetic dentistry was learned here in 2008 and has been practised ever since. Earlier training includes a ten-month implant dentistry course at the Medical College of Georgia completed in 2005. The practice is a member of the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, alongside the American Dental Association, California Dental Association and Orange County Dental Society.
What should I expect from an appointment here?
The practice states that it works to avoid long wait times, that it respects patients' time, and that it does not guilt patients into treatment. Reviewers describe treatment options explained in detail, including expectations and timetables for what happens with and without treatment, and no pressure to proceed immediately after cavities were found.
