Preventive resin restoration
- Treat early tooth decay before it progresses
- Preserve healthy enamel and tooth structure
- Comfortable, minimally invasive treatment often completed without dental freezing
What is preventive resin restoration?
A preventive resin restoration is a minimally invasive filling used to treat early decay found in the deep pits and grooves of teeth.
Even with excellent brushing habits, toothbrush bristles cannot effectively clean certain areas on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These narrow grooves can trap food particles and bacteria, creating an environment where cavities begin to develop.
Preventive resin restorations seal and restore these vulnerable areas before decay spreads deeper into the tooth.
Why should I get a preventative resin restoration?
When cavities are detected early, treatment can often be completed with less drilling, less discomfort, and less removal of healthy tooth structure. Waiting until a tooth becomes sensitive or painful often means the decay has progressed significantly and may require more extensive treatment.
Want to stop cavities early?
Treating decay early with preventative resin restoration can help preserve healthy teeth, reduce future treatment needs, and keep your smile strong.
