Curodont Treatment in West Orange, New Jersey

Repair Early Tooth Decay, No Drilling Required

Have you been told you have the beginning stages of a cavity? With Curodont, you may not need a traditional filling. Curodont is a minimally invasive, needle-free treatment designed to help repair early-stage tooth decay by supporting the tooth’s natural structure before the decay progresses and requires more extensive treatment.

The dentists at Northfield Dental Group can evaluate early signs of decay and determine whether Curodont may be an appropriate treatment option for you.

What Is Curodont?

Curodont is a biomimetic treatment, meaning it works by supporting the body’s natural repair process. A peptide-based gel is applied directly to the affected area of the tooth, creating a framework that allows minerals such as calcium and phosphate to help rebuild the tooth’s structure from within.

Unlike a traditional filling, Curodont does not require the removal of healthy tooth material. In appropriate cases, treatment can be completed without needles, drilling, or anesthesia

How Curodont Treatment Works

Curodont is applied during a simple in-office visit. Your dentist first evaluates the affected area to confirm that the decay is at an early enough stage for Curodont treatment.

The peptide-based gel is then applied to the surface of the tooth, where it supports the tooth’s natural remineralization process. There is no drilling required and typically no downtime following treatment, so most patients can return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment.

Who Is a Candidate for Curodont?

Curodont is intended for patients with early-stage tooth decay, including areas sometimes referred to as “white spot lesions” or the earliest signs of a cavity.

It is important to treat decay at the appropriate stage. If a cavity has progressed too far, a traditional dental restoration may still be necessary. During your visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and determine whether Curodont or another treatment option is most appropriate for your oral health.
