Restorative Dentistry
What Is
Curodont?
A cavity doesn't start as a hole. It starts as a weak spot in the enamel where minerals have begun to break down, while the tooth itself is still intact. Curodont treats that early stage. It uses a bioactive protein that kicks off the tooth's natural remineralization process, so the enamel rebuilds and hardens again from within. The damage is reversed before it ever turns into a full cavity.

OPTIONS
When We Use
Curodont
Curodont works on enamel that is weakened but still whole, so timing matters. That's why we look for early weak spots at every checkup.
Weak Spots in the Enamel
When minerals start breaking down in one area, the enamel softens before any hole forms. That softened spot is exactly what Curodont is made for.
Treatment Without a Drill
For anyone who dreads the sound of a drill or the feeling of being numb, Curodont treats early decay without either one.
Decay Found at a Checkup
Most of these early spots turn up during a routine exam. If we find one, we'll talk through whether Curodont is a good fit.
Knowing When a Filling Is Better
Once decay breaks through the enamel and leaves an actual hole, Curodont can't help anymore. At that point a traditional filling is still the best way to protect the tooth.
HOW IT WORKS
The
Curodont Process
Treatment is quick, and there's nothing to numb.
Checkup
We look for early weak spots in the enamel during your exam.
Timing Check
We confirm the enamel is still intact, so the tooth is in the window where Curodont works.
Application
The protein is applied directly to the affected area. No drilling, no anesthesia.
Natural Rebuild
Your tooth's own biology takes it from there, rebuilding and re-hardening the enamel from within.

A Straight Answer
If a spot is past the point where Curodont can help, we'll tell you and talk through a filling.
Does Curodont hurt?
There's no drilling and no anesthesia. The protein is simply applied to the affected area of the tooth.
How does Curodont work?
It uses a bioactive protein that triggers your tooth's natural remineralization process, guiding the enamel to rebuild and harden from within.
Can Curodont fix any cavity?
No. It works on early decay, while the enamel is weakened but still intact. Once there's an actual hole in the tooth, a filling is the better choice.
How do I know if my cavity is early enough?
We check for early weak spots at your regular exam. The sooner we find one, the more options you have, including ones that don't involve a drill.
