Curodont

Curodont is a non-invasive treatment that repairs early tooth decay using a peptide technology. It rebuilds weakened enamel from within, without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure. It is typically completed in one short appointment.

For a Curodont treatment, your dentist applies a peptide directly to weakened enamel, where it forms a scaffold that attracts minerals from your saliva. Those minerals naturally rebuild the damaged area, repairing the tooth from the inside rather than covering the surface.

Curodont works best for patients with white spot lesions or the earliest stage of tooth decay, before a cavity has fully formed. Your dentist can confirm if your decay is at a stage where Curodont is an appropriate option.

Curodont is designed for very early decay, before a filling would typically be needed. Once decay has progressed to a cavity, a filling or other restoration becomes the appropriate treatment.

Curodont is not painful, as it does not require drilling or anesthesia. It simply involves applying the peptide directly to the affected tooth surface. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and comfortable.

A Curodont application typically takes only a short time during a single visit. The application itself only takes a few minutes. Your dentist will let you know what to expect based on the number of areas being treated.

The cost of Curodont depends on how many areas need treatment. Because it's a minimally invasive option that can prevent the need for a filling, many patients find it a worthwhile investment. We'll go over pricing during your visit.

Since Curodont works beneath the surface, you may not notice a visible change right away. At follow-up visits, your dentist can examine the treated area, possibly using X-rays or other diagnostic tools, to see whether the decay has stabilized or improved.
