Conservative Dentistry
Comprehensive Dental Care: Principles and Practices of Conservative Dentistry
What is conservative dentistry?
- Superficial cavities are treated with fillings: the affected area is cleaned and restored with state-of-the-art materials such as composite resins.
- Deep cavities with nerve involvement are treated with root canal treatment, which involves removing the nerve from the tooth.
Conservative and restorative dentistry allows us to prevent, stop, and cure dental caries in all its phases. The treatment of dental caries depends on the stage of evolution in which it is found:
Benefits of conservative dentistry

Procedure
Filling
Dental caries is an infectious disease that is treated by removing the infected tissue and placing a composite resin material that replaces the removed part.
Root canal
It is a treatment that consists of removing the nerve tissue from the tooth.
Occlusal Reconstruction
It allows you to recover the original shape, size, and color of your teeth, so that you recover your chewing ability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is it for?
All patients are recommended to have a tartar removal or professional dental cleaning at least once a year. In addition, an annual check-up is necessary to check for cavities or other dental alterations and, in this case, treat them.
How long do fillings last?
Fillings are long-term solutions. However, depending on the patient’s own conditions, the degree of destruction of their teeth, or the wear and tear to which they have been subjected, they may break. In this case, it will be essential to treat the caries again.
Can a tooth hurt after a filling?
If the lesion was very deep, the nerve may become inflamed and cause discomfort. In these cases, you may feel tooth sensitivity for the following 3-5 days after the filling. If this discomfort does not subside, go to the dental clinic.
Is it better to extract the tooth than to have a root canal?
No, it is always advisable to keep your own teeth, but if your dentist considers that it is not possible to save the tooth with root canal treatment, the tooth will have to be extracted.
