Conservative dentistry is the technique used to treat the mouth, avoiding the extraction of damaged teeth.
Techniques are used to restore areas damaged by cavities and other conditions, cleaning and treating the damaged tissue without affecting the rest of the tooth, then sealing the treated area.
Preventive dentistry is also part of conservative dentistry, which reduces the need for dental treatments in the medium and long term through fissure sealants, simple or complex fillings, and root canals. In cases where the depth of the lesion is very great, a filling is not sufficient, and a root canal is performed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Conservative Dentistry
What types of conservative treatments are there?
Among others, the most common are:
Fillings:Fillings allow us to treat small cavity lesions that irreversibly destroy our teeth.
Inlays/Onlays: Inlays/Onlays reconstruct large defects in tooth tissue destroyed by cavities or other conditions. These can be made of various materials, although the most commonly used are noble metals, ceramics, or resins.
When would a root canal be necessary?
An untreated cavity, a tooth that has suffered trauma and damaged the pulp, or excessive wear are just some of the causes that may necessitate a root canal treatment at our Carabanchel Dental Clinic.
Conservative dentistry is a therapeutic procedure to avoid tooth extraction and the need for implants.
From what age are conservative treatments carried out?
From childhood, the aim is to preserve the patient’s teeth and prevent premature tooth loss.
We advise you to visit our Dental Clinic in Carabanchel for your check-up every 6 months to prevent and treat any problems early.
