What the Accreditation Tiers Actually Mean
The Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry maintains a public directory of member dentists and, separately, two narrower accreditation tiers. As recorded on 31 July 2026, the Academy's directory held roughly 198 records worldwide, of which 29 hold Accredited Member status and 8 hold Fellow status. A directory listing indicates Academy membership; it does not by itself indicate completed accreditation. The tier stated for each clinician below is taken from the Academy's own record, linked under the practice, where it can be confirmed in about thirty seconds.

What to Establish Before a Case
- Is Immediate Dentin Sealing placed at the preparation appointment? IDS seals freshly cut dentin before impression; its omission is the most common departure from the biomimetic protocol.
- How is a deep proximal margin managed? Deep margin elevation relocates a subgingival margin coronally so the peripheral seal zone can be established in enamel.
- Is the C-factor of the preparation being managed? Configuration factor governs polymerisation stress; stress-reduced layering is the mechanism by which debonding is avoided.
- Is an onlay considered before a full crown? The structural comparison determines how much sound tooth structure is removed.
Case fees are typically quoted fee-for-service, cash pay. Published educational ranges run approximately $1,500–$2,500 per inlay and $1,800–$3,000 per onlay; these are ranges, not quotations, and vary with practice, tooth and complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions

1 credentialed clinician at 1 practice in Naples, FL hold a verified biomimetic restorative credential as re-verified on 13 September 2026 (1 directory member).
Has any practice paid to be listed here?
No. No practice has paid to be listed — this is a community-driven, free directory built on public and member listing data. Any credentialed practice can request a listing at no charge, and free listings are not capped. Each city and specialty also has one clearly-labelled promoted listing, awarded first come, first served: it is placed first in the list, never decides whether a practice is listed, and its credentials are verified exactly like every other listing.
What should a patient verify before booking?
Confirm the accreditation tier directly with the issuing body rather than relying on a practice website; ask whether Immediate Dentin Sealing is placed at the preparation appointment; ask how deep proximal margins are managed; and confirm the practice is fee-for-service before discussing case cost.
