Curodont® Treatment
Curodont® Treatment in Twin Falls, ID
Stop Early Tooth Decay Before It Progresses
Early tooth decay does not always require immediate drilling or a traditional filling. When decay is identified before the tooth surface breaks down, a non-invasive treatment may help strengthen the affected enamel and reduce the risk of the lesion progressing.
Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls now offers Curodont® treatment as part of its preventive dental care services. This quick, drill-free treatment is designed for eligible early-stage cavities and white spot lesions.
What Is Curodont® Treatment?
Curodont® is a professional dental treatment for early-stage, non-cavitated tooth decay. It uses biomimetic peptide technology to work within the affected enamel and support mineral formation using calcium and phosphate naturally present in saliva.
Unlike a traditional filling, Curodont® does not require drilling, injections, or the removal of healthy tooth structure. The liquid treatment is applied directly to the affected area during a dental visit.

Bonding
Bonding can be used to repair chips, gaps, cracks, or other imperfections in your teeth. The bonding process involves applying a durable, composite material that replicates natural tooth enamel directly onto your teeth’s surface. It is then shaped, polished, and cured with a special light—creating an even and seamless finish.
This procedure is quick and easy—it only takes one visit to get the job done! Bonding can also be used for teeth whitening or to fix discolored spots on your teeth.

How Does Curodont® Treatment Work?
First, the dentist examines the tooth and determines whether the affected area is an early, non-cavitated lesion. Dental X-rays may also be used to evaluate decay between the teeth or below the visible enamel surface.
The tooth is then cleaned, prepared, and kept dry. Curodont® is applied directly to the affected area and allowed to absorb into the enamel. The treatment supports mineral formation within the early lesion while helping preserve the natural tooth.
The application itself can take only a few minutes and may be completed during the same appointment. The dental team will monitor the treated area during future checkups.
Who May Be a Candidate for Curodont®?
- Early enamel decay that has not formed an open cavity
- White spot lesions caused by early mineral loss
- Early decay found between the teeth or on chewing surfaces
- A preference for conservative preventive dental care
