The Minimally Invasive Dentistry and Remineralization Options We Offer

Here is a look at some of the conservative treatments we offer right here at our Chantilly practice:

ICON Resin Infiltration: ICON resin infiltration offers a minimally invasive solution for treating visible white spots on the tooth surfaces, which most often appear due to demineralization, sometimes associated with post-braces treatment. It involves gently etching the tooth enamel to expose the layer beneath the white areas and applying a fluid resin, which infiltrates the porous tooth structure. This helps improve the appearance of your child's smile, all without anesthesia or drilling.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): SDF is a non-invasive alternative to traditional dental fillings, decreasing tooth sensitivity and remineralizing small areas of decay. When applied, it halts cavities in young children and stops them from growing in size. SDF offers an alternative solution for treating tooth decay until a child is ready for a permanent restoration or the baby tooth naturally falls out.

Curodont Repair: This 5-minute, non-invasive treatment is designed to address carious lesions when they first appear, serving as a bridge between preventive care and more invasive restorative procedures. Unlike fluoride, which promotes remineralization on your child's tooth surfaces, Curodont's Monomer-Peptide 104 technology uses calcium, phosphate, and other minerals in the saliva to rebuild the tooth structure down to the depth of the lesion. The minimally invasive, pain-free remineralizing treatment helps prevent cavity formation and increases the protection against painful tooth sensitivity.

The SMART Technique: The Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique (SMART) offers a minimally invasive cavity solution for children who cannot tolerate traditional fillings. After applying SDF to remineralize the cavity, we place a tooth-colored glass ionomer filling or a stainless steel crown to restore the tooth's form and function.

Hall Crown Technique: The Hall Crown Technique is a minimally invasive approach that treats small to mid-sized cavities in primary molars with no anesthesia or drilling. It involves placing a stainless steel crown over the affected tooth, essentially sealing off the decay, which helps prevent its progression. The Hall crown technique has been found to be highly effective for stopping tooth decay in its tracks until the treated baby tooth falls out naturally.
