Stopping decay before it spreads
From tooth-colored fillings to Curodont, a minimally invasive option for very early cavities, we treat decay with the least invasive approach that actually works.
Tooth-colored, built to last
When a cavity forms, a filling removes the decayed portion of the tooth and replaces it with a durable, tooth-colored material, restoring both function and appearance without the dark metal fillings of the past.
The steps involved
1. Numbing
The area gets numb first. You won't feel the next steps.
2. Removing Decay
The cavity is cleaned out and prepped for the filling.
3. Filling Placed
Tooth-colored material is shaped in and hardened with a light, then your bite is checked.

Curodont: treating cavities before they need a filling
For very early "white spot" cavities (decay so early it hasn't formed a hole yet), Curodont works like a scaffold: a peptide gel seeps into the enamel's weakened pores and attracts calcium and phosphate from your saliva to rebuild it from within, no drilling or numbing required. The tooth is cleaned and lightly etched, then the gel is applied and left to work for a few minutes. See our Curodont guide → for what to expect afterward.
Don't wait for it to get worse
The earlier it's caught, the more options you have.

No, it does not hurt. The area is numbed before any decay is removed, so the procedure itself is not painful.
Only very early-stage cavities are good candidates. We'll let you know during your exam whether it's an option for your specific case.
Modern tooth-colored fillings commonly last seven to ten years or more with good care.
Yes. This includes prescribed medications, but also any recreational or non-prescribed drug use. Certain substances can seriously affect how your body responds to local anesthesia. We will never judge you for disclosing this. This practice was built around patient safety first, and what you tell us stays confidential.
