Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Early Cavity Detection

Early cavity detection employs advanced technology to identify tooth decay in its earliest stages, often before it's visible to the naked eye. We use cutting-edge technology for early cavity detection, including digital x-rays and Pearl AI. These advanced tools allow us to identify tooth decay in its earliest stages, often before it's visible to the naked eye. Digital x-rays provide high-resolution images with less radiation, while Pearl AI uses artificial intelligence to enhance detection accuracy. This approach preserves more of your natural tooth structure, potentially saving you time, money, and discomfort.

Curodont

Curodont is an innovative treatment that helps remineralize early tooth decay without drilling. This peptide-based gel is applied to the affected area, where it penetrates deep into the enamel, attracting calcium and phosphate ions to rebuild the tooth structure. It's painless, preserves healthy tooth tissue, and can reverse early-stage cavities.

ICON Treatment

ICON Treatment is a groundbreaking, drill-free treatment for early-stage cavities and white spot lesions. This micro-invasive technique uses a special resin that infiltrates and seals the porous enamel, halting decay progression and improving tooth appearance. ICON is painless, requires no anesthesia, and preserves more of your natural tooth structure compared to traditional fillings, making it an ideal choice for treating early cavities and cosmetic imperfections.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a great way for patients to protect their teeth from decay. Dental sealants are often recommended for children, but can still be a great option for patients of all ages. Plus, dental sealants can provide protection for your teeth for years after being applied.

Silver Diamine Fluoride

When a pesky cavity pops up in your child's teeth, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) might come to the rescue! This kid-friendly procedure is quick, pain-free, and doesn't involve any drills or shots. It's like painting a superhero shield on their tooth that fights off decay-causing bacteria and strengthens their tooth. So, if your child has a cavity, fillings aren't the only heroes in town!

Occlusal Guards

Occlusal guards are custom-fitted protective devices worn over your teeth, typically at night, to prevent damage from teeth grinding or clenching. These guards create a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing wear, cracks, and potential nerve damage. By distributing bite forces evenly, occlusal guards help prevent the need for extensive dental work like crowns or root canals, preserving your natural teeth and saving you from future dental complications and expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's understandable to have concerns about amalgam (silver) fillings. For your peace of mind, we recommend discussing the option of replacing your amalgam fillings with composite (tooth-colored) fillings. Composite fillings are mercury-free, blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, and provide excellent durability. During your next visit, we can assess your existing fillings and discuss a plan to gradually replace them with composites if desired, ensuring both your peace of mind and oral health.
