Our Signature Approach · The PRISM Protocol

The dental approach that saves more of your natural tooth.

Biomimetic dentistry mimics the natural structure of your teeth and follows one guiding principle: less drilling is almost always better. It isn't taught in most dental schools — which is why most patients have never experienced it. At Pinecrest, it's the foundation of everything we do.

What It Is

The PRISM Protocol — developed here over 20+ years

Conventional dentistry often treats a small problem with a big, irreversible solution: drill away healthy tooth, place a crown, and if the nerve gets irritated, do a root canal. Biomimetic dentistry rejects that reflex.

The PRISM protocol Dr. Williams developed at Pinecrest uses advanced adhesive materials, precise minimal preparation, and a deep understanding of how a natural tooth flexes and bonds — to rebuild teeth in a way that behaves like the real thing. The result for our patients: root canals reduced by 2 to 5 times compared to conventional treatment.

Less drilling. Lower long-term cost. And far more of your natural smile preserved.

Why It Matters

4 reasons biomimetic is your better option

🦷

1. More natural tooth saved

By preparing conservatively and bonding rather than crowning, we keep the healthy structure that makes your tooth strong. What we don't remove, we never have to replace.

🛡️

2. Fewer root canals

Sealing the tooth the way nature intended protects the nerve. That's how the PRISM protocol reduces the need for root canals 2–5× for our patients.

💰

3. Lower long-term cost

A crown often begins a cycle of re-treatment. Conserving the tooth now typically means fewer, less expensive interventions across your lifetime.

⏱️

4. Less time in the chair

Minimally invasive, adhesive-based treatment is often faster and more comfortable than the grind-and-crown alternative — with results that look and feel like your own tooth.

Second Opinion Welcome

Been told you need a root canal?

Root canals are one of the most over-prescribed procedures in conventional dentistry. Before you commit to one, it's worth understanding whether the tooth can be saved a gentler way.

The PRISM biomimetic approach has helped thousands of Pinecrest patients avoid root canals that another office said were unavoidable. Whether you're a candidate depends on the specific condition of your tooth — which is exactly what a $67 Smile Health Consultation evaluates. Dr. Williams will give you an honest answer, not one driven by what's easiest or most profitable to treat.

Many patients who came to us for a second opinion walked out with a very different plan.

Root Canal Avoided
★★★★★

"Two dentists told me I needed a root canal. Dr. Williams used the PRISM protocol and saved my tooth without one. That was three years ago. That tooth has never given me a problem. I tell everyone I know."

The Technology Behind It

Gentler tools, better outcomes

💨

Air Abrasion

A precise stream of micro-particles removes decay without the heat, vibration, and pressure of a traditional drill — often with no needle required. It targets only what needs to go, preserving healthy enamel around it.

🔦

Laser Therapy

Dental lasers treat soft tissue, disinfect, and assist restorations with remarkable gentleness — reducing bleeding, discomfort, and healing time compared to conventional techniques.

Is It Right For You?

Who is a candidate for biomimetic dentistry?

Almost everyone benefits from a tooth-conserving approach — but it's especially valuable if you:

  • Have been told you need a crown or root canal and want another option
  • Have older fillings or crowns that are failing
  • Have a cracked, chipped, or worn tooth
  • Simply want to keep as much of your natural tooth as possible

Both Dr. Tyler Williams, DDS and Dr. Marcus Pope, DDS practice the biomimetic approach, and Dr. Williams holds membership in the AOBMD — the American Osteopathic Board of Metabolic Dentistry.

2–5 year warranty

We stand behind biomimetic restorations with a 2–5 year warranty — because we're confident in how they perform.

Many patients can. The PRISM biomimetic protocol at Pinecrest Dental in Taylorsville has helped thousands of patients avoid root canals that conventional dentistry would have recommended. Whether you're a candidate depends on the condition of your tooth — which the $67 Smile Health Consultation evaluates, with Dr. Williams' honest assessment.
PRISM is the tooth-conserving biomimetic protocol Dr. Tyler Williams developed at Pinecrest Dental over 20+ years. It uses advanced adhesive materials and minimal, precise preparation to rebuild teeth so they behave like natural teeth — reducing the need for root canals 2–5× compared to conventional treatment.
Pinecrest Dental does not accept traditional dental insurance. Instead we offer the Pinecrest Smile Club VIP Membership, which covers preventive care and discounts all treatment. Many patients find biomimetic care costs less over a lifetime than the repeat crown-and-root-canal cycle conventional insurance-driven dentistry produces.
Pinecrest is a biomimetic and implant specialty practice, not a general insurance-driven office. Dr. Williams developed the PRISM protocol to save more natural tooth structure, avoid unnecessary root canals, and treat the whole patient — airway and sleep included. Every new-patient visit is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.
Generally, yes. Because the approach removes less tooth structure and often uses air abrasion and lasers instead of a traditional drill, many procedures require no needle and cause less discomfort. Sedation is also available for anyone who's anxious.
Biomimetic restorations are designed to last for years and are backed by a 2–5 year warranty at Pinecrest. Because they conserve natural tooth and bond like enamel, they often avoid the re-treatment cycle that follows conventional crowns.
