Treating decay
Dental decay is the progressive destruction of enamel and dentine caused by bacteria. Found early at a check-up, it is treated straightforwardly with a tooth-coloured composite (resin) filling, invisible and durable. Our team works exclusively with amalgam-free materials for the best aesthetic result.
Root canal treatment
When decay reaches the pulp of the tooth (the nerve), endodontic treatment (commonly called root canal treatment) becomes necessary. The procedure involves:
1
Removing the infected or necrotic pulp tissue
2
Cleaning and shaping the root canals
3
Sealing the canals tightly with a bio-inert material
4
Rebuilding the tooth with a composite or a crown
Thanks to modern techniques and appropriate anaesthesia, this treatment is carried out without pain. It allows the tooth to be kept in place for many years.
Inlays, onlays and indirect restorations
For extensive decay that cannot be treated with a simple filling, we offer ceramic restorations made in a laboratory:
Inlay
an intra-coronal restoration, set within the tooth
Onlay
a restoration covering one or more cusps
Overlay
a restoration covering the whole biting surface
These restorations offer a longer lifespan than direct composites and an exceptional aesthetic result thanks to the ceramic.
Protection against teeth grinding
Bruxism (grinding or clenching the teeth, often during sleep) causes premature wear of the enamel and pain in the jaw joint. We make custom occlusal splints to protect your teeth and reduce muscular discomfort.

Restorative care in Montreux: frequently asked questions
What is meant by restorative dental care?
Restorative care covers all the treatments that allow you to keep your natural teeth as long as possible. This includes treating decay (fillings, composites), root canal treatment, ceramic inlays and onlays, covering damaged teeth and managing dental fractures. In Montreux, Cabinet Dentaire du Casino always favours preserving the natural tooth before considering extraction.
How is a cavity treated in Montreux?
Treating a cavity starts with a full assessment including X-rays. Under local anaesthetic, the dentist removes the decayed tissue and cleans the tooth. The cavity is then filled with a tooth-coloured composite (resin), or a ceramic inlay for more extensive decay. The procedure generally lasts 30 to 60 minutes. Afterwards you can return to your normal activities immediately.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is indicated when decay or infection reaches the pulp of the tooth (the nerve). Under local anaesthetic, the root canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed tightly with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then protected with a crown or an inlay. Contrary to a common belief, root canal treatment is not painful thanks to local anaesthesia.
What is a ceramic inlay or onlay?
An inlay is a ceramic restoration made to measure in a laboratory to replace the part of the tooth destroyed by decay. Unlike a composite placed directly in the mouth, an inlay is stronger, more attractive and longer-lasting. An onlay covers a larger area, extending over one or more cusps. These restorations are ideal for moderate to extensive decay that does not yet require a full crown.
How much does restorative treatment cost in Montreux?
Fees for restorative care in Montreux follow the Swiss tariff system for medical and dental procedures. A composite filling is generally billed at between CHF 150 and 350 depending on complexity. Root canal treatment ranges from CHF 500 to 1,200 depending on the number of canals. Ceramic inlays cost between CHF 800 and 1,500. Most supplementary dental insurance policies cover part of this. We always provide a written quote in advance.
Is restorative care covered by insurance?
In Switzerland, basic LaMal insurance does not generally reimburse dental care, except for accidents, serious illness or malformations. Supplementary dental insurance (Dentsana, Sanagate and others), on the other hand, may cover 50 to 75% of the cost depending on your policy. Check with your health insurer before your consultation.
