Tooth Decay Treatment in Benalmadena
Treatment for decayed teeth is a complex dental procedure aimed at restoring teeth damaged by Tooth Decay, cavities, or caries.
This disease develops gradually, starting from enamel surface damage and progressing deeper into dentin. If caries treatment is not started in time, infection reaches the nerve causing pulpitis. With further progression, inflammation leads to periodontitis and, in advanced cases, may result in tooth extraction.
In our dental clinic in Benalmadena, Tooth Decay treatment is neither complicated nor frightening. It is a routine procedure we perform every day, and we know how to make cavities treatment comfortable for you. Both adults and children always leave our clinic smiling!
Symptoms of cavities
If you feel tooth pain, it may be the first sign of Tooth Decay or caries development. Pain may appear intermittently or during consumption of hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Tooth sensitivity should not be ignored as a temporary condition — it may indicate enamel affected by cavities.
Other warning signs include:
- visible pits on teeth
- tooth discoloration
- persistent bad breath
How our dentists diagnose caries
Dentists in our Benalmadena clinic diagnose Tooth Decay using a combination of methods including visual examination, probing, caries detector dye, computed tomography CBCT / 3D xrays, and targeted digital X-ray imaging.
All diagnostic equipment is located directly inside the clinic, allowing fast diagnosis without additional visits elsewhere.
Treatments for tooth decay
Tooth Decay treatment depends on severity and individual clinical situation.
Possible treatment options include:
- Fluoridation — enamel strengthening with fluoride application used in early caries stages.
- Icon method — a “micro-invasive invisible filling” technology or composite restoration.
- Dental fillings — restoration of tooth anatomy and function using modern filling materials.
- Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) — removal of infected pulp, cleaning and sealing of canals.
- Inlay and Onlay – durable, indirect restorations used to repair large cavities or fractured back teeth, serving as a stronger, more tooth-preserving alternative to fillings or crowns. They are custom-made in a laboratory (or via CAD/CAM) and bonded to the tooth, with inlays fitting inside the cusp and onlays covering one or more cusps.
- Dental crowns — fixed prosthetic caps used when tooth destruction exceeds approximately 60–70%.
- Extraction — surgical removal of a tooth when preservation is impossible.
