Caries treatment

Tooth decay (caries) destroys enamel and dentine gradually. In its early stages it often causes no pain, which is why regular check-ups matter – a small cavity found early is quicker, simpler and cheaper to treat.

Signs worth checking: sensitivity to cold, heat or sweet foods, a dark spot or rough area on a tooth, food getting stuck between teeth, or an old filling that has chipped or no longer fits tightly.

How we treat decay

• We remove only the decayed tissue, working under magnification.
• The tooth is isolated with rubber dam, which keeps it dry and clean during the filling.
• The cavity is filled with Enamel plus HRi or Enamel Biofunction composite, matched to the shade of your tooth.
• Anaesthesia, if needed, is given with The WAND computer-controlled system.

A simple filling at the gum line usually takes about 45 minutes; a filling that needs anaesthesia and rubber dam typically takes 1–1.5 hours per tooth, sometimes longer for extensive rebuilds.
