CARIES TREATMENTCOLOGNE

Despite improved dental care and regular check-ups, caries can still develop today. If the disease is detected early, the affected tooth can usually be treated gently and without major loss of substance. In our dental practice in Cologne, we perform modern caries treatment that aims at a thorough removal of the damaged areas and the long-term preservation of your natural tooth substance.

After cleaning the affected area, the tooth is provided with a suitable filling. Depending on the size and location of the defect, high-quality composite fillings, durable ceramic inlays or minimally invasive procedures such as Icon treatment are possible. This not only restores the function of the tooth, but also achieves an aesthetically pleasing result.

AESTHETIC FILLINGS

If a filling is necessary, we attach great importance to a natural appearance and precise workmanship. With modern, tooth-colored composite materials, the shape of the tooth can be reconstructed exactly and the color can be perfectly matched to the adjacent teeth. In this way, the filling remains almost invisible – for a harmonious and healthy smile.

CARIES PROPHYLAXIS

The development of caries begins with plaque and the metabolic products of bacteria it contains. Therefore, caries prophylaxis aims to maintain an oral cavity that is as free as possible from plaque and tartar. This goal can only be achieved through consistent oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist. 

In addition, we recommend having a professional teeth cleaning performed twice a year in our dental practice in Cologne to effectively prevent caries and gum disease.

Questions and Answers

If a tooth is covered with plaque for a long period of time and sugary foods are frequently consumed, the enamel is attacked and demineralized. If this process continues, a hole develops in the tooth. Caries can completely destroy the tooth. Caries can only be stopped by timely dental treatment.

The best way to avoid caries is to limit sugar intake. In addition, plaque should be removed regularly, on the one hand by regular
brushing after meals and on the other hand by professional teeth cleaning (PTC) at the dentist. Because only a PTC guarantees complete removal of hidden soft and also mineralized plaque above (tartar).

First, the affected area is thoroughly examined and the caries is gently removed. The tooth is then rebuilt with a suitable filling such as a composite filling or a ceramic inlay to fully restore function and aesthetics.

No, thanks to modern anesthesia methods, caries treatment at mundum is painless. On request, we can also perform the treatment under local anesthesia or twilight sleep so that you feel completely comfortable.

As soon as you notice sensitive areas, pain or discoloration, you should make an appointment with your dentist in Cologne as soon as possible. Early caries removal prevents major damage and preserves your natural tooth substance.
