Curodont™
An innovative, pain-free way to stop early tooth decay in its tracks — no drilling, no needles, no filling required.
What Curodont Is
Reversing early decay — without ever picking up a drill.
If we spot decay early — before it's progressed to the point where a filling is truly necessary — Curodont™ gives us a way to address it without any drilling or anesthesia. It's an innovative, non-invasive treatment that works with your body's own natural healing process to stop and reverse the damage.
The technology is biomimetic: a peptide gel is applied directly to the early lesion, guiding calcium and phosphate minerals from your own saliva back into the weakened enamel structure. Your tooth essentially rebuilds itself from the inside out — no removal of healthy tooth structure, no injections, and nothing artificial filling the space.
For most patients, the application takes about three minutes and fits right into the same visit as your regular cleaning or exam. It's comfortable, quick, and especially well-suited for children and anyone who gets anxious about dental procedures.
Curodont™ enables minerals to penetrate deep into the lesion, rebuilding enamel from within.

The Process
What to Expect at Your Curodont™ Appointment
From evaluation to application, here's how a Curodont™ treatment visit typically works.
Evaluation & Detection
We identify early-stage decay using digital X-rays and a clinical exam. If we catch a lesion at the right stage — still within the enamel — Curodont™ may be an option worth talking through before we ever consider a filling.
Surface Preparation
The affected tooth surface is cleaned and briefly conditioned to maximize how well the treatment penetrates. This step takes only moments and requires no anesthetic — nothing is removed from your tooth.
Application & Monitoring
The Curodont™ peptide gel is applied directly to the lesion and left to work — the whole thing takes about 3 minutes. We then monitor progress at your regular checkups using digital X-rays to confirm the enamel is remineralizing as expected.

“From the time you walk in, till the time you leave (and even after) you really get the feeling that this dentist office thinks of you as a friend/family member and not just a ‘patient.’ The aftercare with a text the next day to check up on you gives a personal touch that really means a lot. Dr. Will and his staff are the best in T-Town!”
