Conservative Dentistry – Preserving Teeth

medium

Conservative dentistry aims to conserve natural teeth by providing treatments to avoid tooth extraction of diseased or damaged teeth. Teeth malformations, cavities, and teeth affected by trauma are treated to recover their health and functionality.

About the procedure

Conservative dentistry aims to remove only damaged dental tissue and retain the healthy parts of the tooth, thereby preserving most of it. In addition, it is possible to recover the affected tooth’s health, functionality, and aesthetics. Endodontists are generally trained in conservative dentistry.

Who qualifies for the procedure?

People who qualify for conservative dentistry have damaged teeth but still have healthy tissue that can be preserved. The procedure is also indicated when there is a small or moderate amount of damage to the tooth.

It is unsuitable for advanced cases in which the tooth has been destroyed or has a large amount of damage.

Why the procedure is conducted

The main aim of the procedure is to save teeth that would otherwise be extracted.

This way, it is possible to keep the mouth healthy and functional and avoid complications such as tooth loss. Thus, one can also prevent the discomfort of having a gap in one’s teeth.

At Apollo Dental Clinic, our team of dental specialists will guide you to an endodontist you decide if conservative dentistry is the best option.

How the procedure is conducted

The procedure is conducted by first numbing the area with a local anaesthetic. This is done by injecting the numbing medication into the gum tissue.

Once the area is numb, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth. Next, the dentist will use a drill to remove the decay from the tooth. Once the decay is removed, the dentist will fill the tooth with a filling material.

Finally, the endodontist will close the incision with stitches.
