INCIPIENT CARIES

Incipient caries are dental lesions in their initial stage, when the enamel starts to break down but the tooth has not yet been structurally compromised. At this point, treatment is fast, non-invasive, and pain-free — making early detection essential for preserving oral health.

When discovered through regular dental checkups, early-stage cavities can often be treated without drilling or anesthesia using advanced methods like resin infiltration (Icon technology), fluoride remineralization, or laser therapy. These techniques stop demineralization and help preserve the natural tooth structure.

Early cavity treatment not only halts decay progression but also helps you avoid more complex procedures like large fillings, root canals, or even extractions.

Why Incipient caries treatment matters

At our clinic, we focus on prevention and minimally invasive care. Using modern diagnostic tools — such as intraoral cameras and digital X-rays — we can detect even the smallest cavities before symptoms appear.

Benefits of early cavity treatment:

  • No pain and no drilling
  • Conserves your natural tooth
  • Prevents future pain and dental complications
  • Lower costs and easier interventions

We recommend visiting the dentist every 6 months for routine checkups. The earlier we intervene, the simpler and more effective the treatment.
