Cavity Treatment in Geneva
Cavities are the most common dental disease. They progressively destroy the enamel and then the dentin of the tooth. Studio Smile in Chêne-Bougeries detects and treats cavities at an early stage to preserve as much tooth structure as possible.
What is a cavity?
A cavity is a lesion caused by acids produced by bacteria in dental plaque. Sugar feeds these bacteria. Without treatment, the cavity progresses toward the nerve of the tooth and can cause an infection.
Studio Smile uses digital imaging to detect problems before they worsen. Early diagnosis allows for simpler, less expensive and more comfortable treatments.
