Restorative dentistry in Montreux: preserving natural teeth whenever possible
From small composite fillings to inlays, onlays and root canal care, treatment is selected according to how much sound tooth structure remains.
At a glance
Treatment proportionate to the damage
Early care
A small lesion may be managed with prevention or a conservative filling after assessment.
Tooth preservation
Sound tissue is retained whenever clinically possible.
Options explained
Material, longevity, limitations and cost are discussed before treatment.
Treatment options
Restorative options for different situations
Composite filling
A tooth-coloured direct restoration for many small to medium defects.
Inlay or onlay
A laboratory-made restoration considered when more support is needed than a direct filling can provide.
Root canal treatment
Infected or irreversibly inflamed pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored.
Crown
A heavily weakened tooth may need broader coverage after careful assessment.
Fracture management
The treatment depends on the depth, location and effect of the crack or break.
Bruxism protection
A custom guard may be advised when clenching or grinding contributes to wear or discomfort.
How treatment works
A precise, staged approach
Diagnosis
Symptoms, clinical findings and imaging are brought together.
Anaesthesia and isolation
Comfort and moisture control help treatment remain precise.
Restoration
The damaged area is treated and rebuilt with the selected material.
Review
Bite, comfort and home-care advice are checked before follow-up.
Fees & insurance
The fee reflects the tooth and the technique
Costs vary with the number of surfaces, depth of the lesion, material, laboratory work and whether root canal treatment or a crown is required. A personalised estimate is provided before planned care. Routine fillings are generally not covered by Swiss compulsory health insurance; exceptions are limited by law.

Common restorative dentistry questions
Does every cavity need a filling?
Not always. Very early non-cavitated lesions may sometimes be monitored and managed preventively. Once tooth structure has broken down, a restoration may be needed.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Local anaesthesia is used. Tenderness after treatment can occur, and the team explains what to expect and when to contact the practice.
What is the difference between a filling and an onlay?
A filling is shaped directly in the tooth. An onlay is made outside the mouth and bonded later, often when a larger area needs support.
How long will a restoration last?
No fixed lifespan can be promised. Size, material, bite forces, hygiene, diet and regular review all influence longevity.

A clinical examination helps distinguish decay, cracks, wear and pulp-related pain before the most suitable treatment is chosen.
