About Joseph P Fusco DDS MAGD
This Rockville Centre practice describes biomimetic dentistry as the method behind virtually all of its restorative work: mirroring the tooth's own biological processes to restore strength while conserving as much sound dental tissue as possible. The stated approach removes the smallest amount of structure the case allows, then seals and bonds the tooth with adhesive technique, so the remaining walls are left less susceptible to further damage and the risk of cracks and failed restorations is reduced. Restorations are built from composite, porcelain and zirconia rather than metal, which the practice contrasts with materials that stress the tooth through thermal expansion and strain. Inlays, onlays, ceramic crowns and porcelain veneers are produced with partner laboratories, one local and one artisan facility in Turin, Italy, working in IPS e.max, zirconia and feldspathic porcelain. The office is at 77 N Centre Ave, Ste 301.

Common Questions
What does this practice mean when it says it works biomimetically?
It describes biomimetic technique as mirroring normal biological processes to maintain long-term dental health by protecting and conserving natural tooth structure. In treatment that means removing the smallest amount of dental tissue possible, approaching each case with future failure modes in mind, and taking preemptive measures against further damage to the tooth. The practice states it applies these techniques to virtually all restorative procedures.
Which materials are used for restorations here, and why not metal?
Restorations are crafted from composite, porcelain and zirconia rather than traditional metal. The practice's stated reasoning is that metal is nothing like biological tissue and stresses the tooth, so that temperature fluctuations, resulting expansion and strain can cause cracking over time. It also states that adhesive technique with advanced materials can increase bond strength substantially, giving restorations greater reliability.
How are veneers and crowns made for this practice?
Two partner laboratories are used: a local facility when the quickest turnaround is wanted, and an artisan laboratory in Turin, Italy, whose ceramist handcrafts veneers in materials including IPS e.max, zirconia and feldspathic porcelain. Restorations are designed from photographs taken at the initial consultation, checked for fit and aesthetics, then bonded with composite resin.
What happens to tooth preparation when veneers are placed?
Some enamel may need to be removed to create room for the veneers, but the practice states it applies conservative biomimetic technique to that preparation, removing the smallest amount of tissue possible in order to avoid an overall weakening of the tooth structure. It notes that preparation generally involves very little discomfort and that local anesthesia is rarely required.
Who would I be treated by, and what is the practice's stated aim?
The clinician is recorded with the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. He holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, following a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from The Ohio State University, and completed a General Practice Residency at Staten Island University Hospital. The practice's stated mission is a care plan that is comprehensive and as conservative as possible.
