The Minimally-Invasive Dentistry Process
Here’s what you can expect.
Comprehensive Assessment
We start with a thorough examination using advanced imaging technology. This allows us to detect issues early and create a personalized treatment plan that minimizes intervention while maximizing oral health.
Preventive Care
We focus on preventing dental issues through education, proper hygiene techniques, and preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride. These steps help avoid more invasive procedures in the future.
Conservative Treatment
When treatment is necessary we use state-of-the-art technology for painless precise care. Our goal is to preserve as much of your child's natural tooth structure as possible while effectively addressing dental issues.
Remineralization
Remineralization is a natural process that helps repair very early stages of tooth decay. We use specialized products and techniques to enhance this process, strengthening your child's teeth without drilling. This approach is especially effective for treating early cavities. Curious about how remineralization could benefit your child's teeth? Let's discuss this option at your next visit.
Laser Therapy
Our advanced laser technology allows us to treat various dental issues with minimal discomfort and often without anesthesia. From cavity preparation to gum treatments, laser therapy offers precise, gentle care. This method reduces healing time and preserves more healthy tooth structure.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a revolutionary treatment that can stop tooth decay in its tracks without drilling. This painless application is particularly useful for very young children or those with special needs. While it may cause dark staining on the treated area, it's an excellent option for non-visible baby teeth. Interested in exploring SDF as a treatment option? Let's discuss if it's right for your child.
Curodont Treatment
Curodont is an innovative treatment that helps remineralize early cavities and strengthen enamel. This peptide-based therapy promotes the natural repair of tooth enamel, often eliminating the need for fillings. It's painless and preserves the natural tooth structure.
ICON Treatment
ICON (Infiltration Concept) is a breakthrough treatment for early to moderate cavities. It uses a resin infiltrant to seal and stabilize demineralized enamel without drilling. This no-shot, no-drill approach is ideal for treating smooth surface and early interproximal cavities.
HALL Crowns
HALL crowns offer a non-invasive way to treat decayed baby molars. Unlike traditional crowns, HALL crowns are placed over the affected tooth without any drilling or tooth preparation. This technique is quick, painless, and highly effective at preserving the damaged tooth until it naturally falls out.
SMART Technique
SMART (Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment) is a minimally invasive way to treat cavities. It combines the cavity-stopping power of Silver Diamine Fluoride with glass ionomer fillings. This no-drill, no-shot technique is excellent for managing cavities in young children or those with dental anxiety.
