Caries treatment

Different types of caries

Early caries

Early caries can be treated with composites. They are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Larger cavities

For this type of caries, it is preferable to treat the tooth with an onlay. The ceramic onlay, made in the laboratory from a precision impression, has a much more precise morphology, keeps the tooth alive and reproduces the tooth color.

Caries affecting the nerve

A devitalized tooth is extremely fragile. That’s why it’s essential to protect it with a crown.
In some cases, a metal stump (inlay-core) is used to reinforce the root.
