Conservative dentistry
Tooth preservation - also known as conservative dentistry - covers not only professional tooth cleaning and prophylaxis but above all filling therapy and the treatment of carious defects.
Modern tooth-coloured crowns and bridges, filling materials made of ceramic or composite and today's options in root canal treatment help to preserve teeth for a very long time.
If inflammatory processes at the gums, the roots or inside a tooth put its survival at risk, special therapeutic procedures often allow us to preserve affected teeth as well. Because no denture is as good as a healthy tooth of your own.
If disease does occur, we offer gentle treatment options. Starting treatment promptly considerably improves the prospects of success.

When a tooth is at risk
Three areas in which we preserve teeth instead of replacing them.
Endodontics
If the inside of the tooth is inflamed, a root canal treatment can often still save the tooth - even in difficult cases.

Wisdom teeth
When wisdom teeth have no room, removing them is a routine procedure - planned and gentle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a badly damaged tooth still be saved?
Often yes. Depending on the cause, a filling, a crown, a root canal treatment or periodontitis therapy will help. Only when a tooth can no longer be preserved do we talk about replacing it.
Which fillings are there apart from amalgam?
Tooth-coloured composite fillings and ceramic inlays made in the laboratory. Both are metal-free and match the colour of your own tooth.
When does a tooth really have to be extracted?
For example when the root has fractured, the tooth is deeply destroyed or most of the bone around the tooth has been lost. We tell you openly when an attempt to save it no longer has a good prognosis.
How quickly do I have to see a dentist if a tooth hurts?
As soon as possible. Untreated inflammation spreads, and starting treatment promptly improves the chances of keeping the tooth. If you are in acute pain, call us directly on 06187 900690.
