    TESTIMONIALS

    “BeautiBond is the single step solution to better, more effective, and more predictable bonding to both enamel and dentin.”
    Dr. George Freedman, DDS, FAACD, FIADFE, FASDA
    Markham, ON

    “Having served for years as a researcher and now in clinical practice, I find it essential that my adhesive does not create a chalk line around the restorative margins. BeautiBond has a thin film thickness that enables me to address my patients’ most pressing aesthetic concerns and a bond strength I can depend on.”
    Dr. James R. Dunn, DDS
    Auburn, CA

    “Ease of use, single dose, good bond strength”
    Dr. Michael Putt, DMD
    Wayland, MA

    “Ease of use, excellent bond strength, no reports of post sensitivity”
    Dr. Paul Lombardo
    Burlington, MA

  • About Giomer

    The term GIOMER refers to any product containing a proprietary filler particle, engineered by Shofu Dental, which can release and recharge six different ions: Fluoride, Strontium, Sodium, Aluminum, Silicate, and Borate. Together, these ions have been clinically proven to inhibit plaque, neutralize acid, and eliminate secondary decay; combining bioactive and therapeutic benefits not available in competitive products.

    Shofu Dental created the GIOMER filler particle over 20 years ago with the mission of offering products that provide a bioactive and therapeutic alternative to the inert restorative materials available then – and now. It is part of our mission at Shofu Dental to “create healthy and beautiful smiles all over the world.”

     


    Bioactive Giomer Technology               Conventional Composites

    Almost immediately upon its discovery, both Researchers and Clinicians have found the promise of the bioactive and therapeutic properties of GIOMER Technology intriguing enough to warrant study. Shofu Dental regularly sponsors research and clinical studies to validate the efficacy of GIOMER Technology. Still, we are gratified by the number of independent research studies we regularly receive that also validates our claims.

    GIOMER Technology restoratives offer picture-perfect aesthetics. The nano-hybrid-sized particles provide the high level of polishability dentists have come to expect in today’s premium restorative materials. Our unique filler structure gives GIOMER restoratives the light transmission and diffusion properties of both dentin and enamel to blend well with surrounding dentition without the need for complex layering techniques required by many competitors.

    As it is Shofu’s mission to “create healthy and beautiful smiles all over the world.” Shofu Dental knows that the price of bioactive and therapeutic GIOMER products has to be affordable for all dentists, especially those who treat the underserved. To that goal, GIOMER products are usually 30% less expensive than many name-brand competitors.

    BeautiSealant is a tooth colored, fluoride recharging, pit and fissure sealant with a self-etching primer that speeds treatment time by eliminating the need for phosphoric acid etching. Using an advanced, self-etching primer, BeautiSealant helps preserve healthy enamel that is easily demineralized with harsh acid-etchants, while still maintaining superior bond strength. Seeping deeply into pits and fissures, our HEMA-free primer bonds equally to enamel or dentin preparing the tooth surface for a secure and long-lasting bond.  Providing flawless handling characteristics, both the viscosity and the syringe design contribute to a smooth, bubble free consistency, and reduce the common issue of overfilling.  Unlike many competitors, BeautiSealant is also highly radiopaque offering clear visibility at follow-up. As the newest member of the GIOMER family, BeautiSealant is filled with Shofu’s proprietary Surface Pre-Reacted Glass (S-PRG) with proven cariostatic properties, acid neutralization, and plaque inhibition.
