Cavity, fractured tooth, affected nerve: conservative dental treatments<\/a> cover all treatments that help keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. Here is what they include, how they work and what they cost in Montreux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is conservative dental treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conservative treatment refers to any treatment aimed at preserving the natural tooth<\/strong> rather than extracting it. This includes cavity treatment (fillings, composite), root canal treatment, ceramic inlays and onlays, as well as the management of dental fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is a cavity treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treatment begins with a full assessment including X-rays. Under local anesthesia, the dentist removes the decayed tissue and cleans the tooth. The cavity is then filled with a tooth-coloured composite, or a ceramic inlay for more extensive cavities. The procedure generally takes 30 to 60 minutes<\/strong>, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Root canal treatment: is it painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) is indicated when a cavity or infection reaches the dental pulp, the nerve. Under local anesthesia, the root canals are cleaned, disinfected and then sealed tightly, and the tooth is then protected with a crown or an inlay. Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is not painful<\/strong> thanks to local anesthesia \u2014 it is actually the untreated infection that hurts, not the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic inlay or onlay: what are they for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An inlay is a ceramic restoration custom-made in a laboratory to replace part of a tooth destroyed by decay. Stronger, more aesthetic and more durable than a composite placed directly in the mouth, it is ideal for medium to extensive cavities that do not yet require a full crown. An onlay covers a larger surface, extending over one or more cusps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does conservative care cost in Montreux?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fees are set by the TarMed system (tariff for medical and dental procedures in Switzerland):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
