Curodont represents a major advancement in preventive dental care. If you have early-stage tooth decay or are concerned about white spot lesions, this noninvasive treatment could offer an ideal solution. At Elrod & Dunham Dentistry, we are proud to provide Curodont in Richmond, Mechanicsville, Atlee and Goochland, Virginia, as part of a modern, patient-friendly approach to managing oral health.

What Makes Curodont Different

Curodont targets initial demineralization before cavities form, using a unique technology known as guided enamel regeneration. Instead of drilling into your tooth, our dentists and team simply apply a specialized formula that works with your body’s natural saliva to remineralize weakened enamel. This means you can preserve your natural tooth structure without undergoing traditional restorative procedures.

Benefits of Curodont Treatment

  • No Pain, No Drill: There is no need for anesthesia, needles or mechanical instruments. You will enjoy a quiet, comfortable experience that lasts only a few minutes.
  • Natural Remineralization: The formula in Curodont pulls essential minerals like calcium and phosphate from your saliva and deposits them directly into the affected enamel.
  • Cosmetic Safety: Curodont does not discolor or stain your teeth. Your smile will remain bright and natural-looking.
  • Home Care Option: For continued protection, Curodont Protect can be used at home. This gel extends the treatment’s benefits and helps prevent new lesions from forming.

How the Process Works

After diagnosing the affected area, our dentists will isolate the tooth and apply Curodont to the demineralized surface. The solution diffuses into the enamel, creating a scaffold that draws minerals inward. Over time, the enamel becomes stronger and healthier, halting decay in its tracks. The process is simple, safe and effective for patients of nearly all ages.

When to Consider Curodont

Curodont is best suited for early-stage decay where the enamel has begun to lose minerals but has not yet developed a cavity. It is also effective for white spot lesions that often appear after orthodontic treatment. If the decay has progressed too far, more conventional treatment may be necessary.

Keep in Mind

Curodont does not replace daily brushing, flossing or regular dental visits. Think of it as an enhancement to your existing care routine. Your dentist may recommend multiple applications depending on the activity of the lesion.
