Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Minimally invasive dentistry aims to treat dental issues with the smallest intervention necessary. This helps maintain the strength and function of natural teeth and leads to more comfortable treatments and better long-term oral health outcomes.
Key principles include:
- Prevention first: Emphasizing good oral hygiene and regular check-ups to stop problems before they start.
- Early detection: Using advanced diagnostic tools to catch issues like incipient caries or wear in their earliest stages with our AI Pearl Second opinion.
- Conservative treatment: Repairing soft enamel with minimal removal of healthy tooth structure. We use Papacarie from Brazil, a papaya enzyme, to remove infected tooth structure.
- SDF: Silver Diamine Fluoride is a solution that can be applied to areas in between primary molar teeth to stop the progression of caries in their earliest stages.
- Interim Restoration: We use a material that hardens within seconds and makes soft areas remineralize so we can observe if very young, apprehensive, or just waiting for these teeth to exfoliate without conventional treatment.
- Curodont™: We are pleased to offer a state of the art biomimetic treatment of hydroxyapatite that can stop and remineralize incipient caries in primary and permanent teeth so that fillings will not be needed. It was developed in Switzerland 25 years ago and has a success rate of 90% in remineralizing incipient caries. It is non-invasive, drill-free sponge application that is non-staining, flavorless, and has truly helps us provide cutting edge technology, stopping cavities before they grow and need treatment.
