What is conservative dentistry?

Conservative dentistry—combined with endodontics—is one of the most important areas of dental care. It focuses on fighting cavities and restoring teeth that have decay-related damage.

conservative dentist works to keep your natural teeth healthy and your smile aesthetically pleasing for as long as possible, without resorting to extensive prosthetic or surgical treatments. What does conservative dentistry involve—and why is combating decay so crucial? Let’s explain!

What does conservative dentistry cover?

As mentioned, conservative dentistry includes cavity prevention and filling cavities. Its primary goal is to maintain natural teeth in optimal function and appearance for as long as possible—delaying or avoiding prosthetic or surgical interventions.

The most common conservative procedure is removing decayed tissue and rebuilding the tooth using modern composite materials (“fillings”), as well as treating tooth sensitivity.

When decay reaches the pulp, root canal treatment becomes necessary—a precise process of cleaning and filling the root system to stop inflammation.

Conservative dentistry also covers treating cavities in both baby and permanent teeth and applying preventive pine tar (“silver diamine fluoride”) treatments for young patients to arrest decay until natural tooth replacement.

Regular dental visits are essential—even patients with excellent hygiene should visit every six months—for early detection and treatment of dental problems.

Procedures in conservative dentistry

This field overlaps with dental hygiene and periodontology. Key procedures include:

• Oral health examinations
• Periodontal (gum) treatments
• Treatment of enamel hypersensitivity
• Professional hygiene procedures (scaling, sandblasting, polishing, fluoride treatment)
• Root canal therapy (including microscope-assisted)

Why treat cavities early?

Untreated cavities can lead to severe aesthetic issues, hypersensitivity, pulp inflammation, root canal treatment—and even tooth extraction or systemic infections.

Early-stage cavities (white spots) can be reversed with cleaning and fluoride. Advanced decay requires drilling and fillings made from porcelain, gold, silver amalgam, or composite resin.

Composites are now preferred due to their durability and the ability to match natural tooth color.

How much does conservative treatment cost?

Costs depend on the severity of dental issues and required procedures—estimates are personalized after thorough diagnostics.

Don’t delay due to cost concerns—early treatment prevents more serious—and more expensive—issues later.
