Enamel Remineralization Treatment in St. Louis Park, MN

What Is Curodont?

Curodont Repair is a cutting-edge bioactive gel designed to treat early enamel decay (incipient caries) by stimulating the natural remineralization of tooth structure. It works by delivering a protein matrix directly to the affected area, allowing calcium and phosphate to rebuild the weakened enamel from within.

Unlike conventional dental fillings, which require removing part of the tooth, Curodont preserves all healthy tissue and restores strength to the enamel before the cavity progresses.

How Enamel Remineralization Works

The process is simple, comfortable, and entirely non-invasive:

1. Diagnosis
   Your dentist will identify areas of demineralized enamel during your dental exam — usually using visual inspection, digital images, or special caries detection tools.
2. Tooth Preparation
   The tooth is cleaned and dried. A mild acid may be used to condition the enamel for better uptake of the material.
3. Curodont Application
   The bioactive gel is applied directly to the lesion. It stays in place for several minutes to allow deep penetration into the porous enamel.
4. Remineralization Over Time
   The gel initiates a repair process that continues even after the visit — helping rebuild the enamel naturally over several weeks.

Curodont is painless and requires no local anesthesia. Most treatments are completed during the same visit and may be combined with other preventive services like fluoride treatment or dental sealants.

Who Can Benefit from Enamel Remineralization?

Curodont is ideal for patients with early-stage enamel decay who want to avoid more invasive procedures. It is especially well-suited for:

• Children and teens with new cavities forming
• Adults with white spot lesions or enamel demineralization
• Patients with sensitivity due to weakened enamel
• Individuals who prefer conservative, no-drill treatment
• Those at high risk for cavities but looking to prevent future fillings

Your dentist will evaluate the depth and progression of the lesion to determine whether Curodont is appropriate or if a traditional filling is required.

Advantages of Curodont Remineralization

Enamel remineralization with Curodont offers several important benefits compared to traditional restorative care:

• Non-invasive: No drilling, needles, or removal of healthy tissue
• Painless: No anesthesia required
• Preserves natural tooth structure: Helps rebuild what already exists
• Supports preventive dentistry: Intercepts decay before it progresses
• Safe and effective: Clinically proven results for treating incipient caries

For many patients, Curodont represents a shift toward a more modern, biology-driven approach to dental care — one focused on healing, not just fixing.

Integrating With Your Preventive Care Plan

Curodont is often used alongside other minimally invasive treatments as part of a comprehensive preventive strategy. During your next hygiene visit or routine cleaning, we’ll assess your enamel health and determine whether remineralization could help protect or rebuild vulnerable areas.

You can also pair Curodont with:

• Fluoride treatments to enhance remineralization
• Dental sealants for added protection
• Children’s dentistry programs for cavity prevention in younger patients
• Personalized home hygiene guidance to maintain strong enamel

We’ll tailor your care to your specific risk factors and oral health goals.
