What is Therapeutic Treatment?

Therapeutic Dental Treatment encompasses all methods aimed at the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental and oral cavity diseases, maintaining both the functionality and aesthetics of the teeth. It is one of the most essential areas of dentistry, ensuring that teeth remain healthy, preserved, and the overall condition of the mouth is at its best. Therapeutic treatment covers both superficial and deeper tooth damage, while also aiming to prevent more serious complications that could lead to tooth loss or other health issues.

Prevention of Dental and Oral Diseases

At CLINIC | DPC, special attention is given to preventive measures to stop the development of dental and oral diseases. Therefore, we recommend that every patient visit the dentist twice a year for a preventive check-up. This allows the dentist to evaluate the condition of your teeth and oral cavity and, if necessary, to prescribe appropriate preventive measures or early treatment.

Caries Treatment

Caries is one of the most common diseases, caused by the interaction of acids and microorganisms found in dental plaque. This process leads to the demineralization of the hard dental tissues and the formation of a caries cavity. When detected in time, caries is cleaned out to the healthy dental tissues and filled.

Replacement of Old, Poor-Quality Fillings

Patients often wonder why an old filling needs to be replaced even though it hasn’t fallen out. The simple answer is that older fillings tend to shrink over time, creating microscopic gaps between the tooth and the filling surface. Bacteria can easily infiltrate these gaps, food residues accumulate, and an acidic environment forms, causing the tooth to decay (leading to secondary caries). The walls of the tooth weaken, and eventually, the tooth may crack or break. Modern fillings have minimal shrinkage and, when properly placed, virtually eliminate the risk of secondary caries. Moreover, they are highly aesthetic, strong, and durable.

Aesthetic Filling of Front and Molar Teeth

Aesthetic fillings are a great way to enhance the appearance of your teeth through a conservative treatment method. This restoration technique allows for the preservation of dental tissues while restoring the tooth’s anatomical shape and achieving a natural, healthy tooth color, transparency, and shine. Aesthetic fillings are recommended for teeth affected by caries, teeth that have changed color, worn-down teeth, improperly erupted teeth, the closure of diastema (gaps between teeth), and the restoration of teeth after trauma. When a tooth is severely damaged, the chewing surface’s relief is restored, considering both function and aesthetics. Cusps and grooves are restored, which are crucial for chewing efficiency, maintaining bite height, and protecting teeth from wear. These restorations are made with high-quality fillings that match natural, healthy teeth in shade and transparency.

Restoration of Chipped Teeth

With modern filling materials, due to their aesthetic qualities, strength, and durable bonding systems, it is possible to restore a chipped tooth seamlessly, ensuring that the restoration lasts for many years. Based on the extent of the chip, your treating doctor will recommend the most appropriate method for restoring your tooth.

Treatment of Tooth Sensitivity

Many patients report experiencing tooth sensitivity, discomfort while eating or drinking cold beverages, or simply inhaling air through the mouth. Once the cause of sensitivity is identified, it is easy to select the right treatment. This may include using fluoride rinses, fluoride varnish or gel applications, filling exposed tooth necks, and other methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

01
Why is it necessary to replace old fillings?

The answer is very simple – over time, microscopic gaps appear in old fillings that are invisible to the naked eye, where bacteria accumulate, causing tooth decay. To prevent this, we replace old fillings with new ones! Visit your dentist, who will assess and inform you whether your fillings are worn out, cracked, and need adjustment or replacement.
