Treatment of cavities by bonding
Treating carious lesions with composite resins in Geneva
Dental caries affect the health, function, and aesthetics of your teeth. At Névé dental clinic, we use modern and effective treatments. Our techniques include dental bonding. Using these methods, we treat carious lesions in a discreet and durable manner. Thus, we preserve the natural structure of your teeth.
What is dental resin bonding?
“Bonding” in dentistry is an aesthetic restoration procedure. We use high-quality composite materials to repair teeth damaged by cavities. First, we apply a composite resin to the surface of the tooth. Then, we sculpt and polish it to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance.
The advantages of bonding for the treatment of carious lesions
Aesthetic: We use composite materials available in different shades. This allows them to perfectly match the natural color of your teeth. Consequently, the result is virtually invisible, ensuring an aesthetic and natural smile.
Preservation of the tooth: Unlike other restoration methods, dental bonding generally requires less removal of healthy tooth structure. Thus, we preserve more of the natural tooth.
Durability: We use modern composite materials. These are strong and resistant, offering a durable solution for dental restorations.
Speed: We often complete the dental bonding treatment in a single visit. Therefore, this method is convenient for patients with busy schedules.
At Névé dental clinic, we are committed to providing quality dental care. Our goal is to restore and maintain the health of your teeth. Do not hesitate to contact us to learn more about our dental bonding techniques.

How is the treatment of carious lesions by bonding carried out?
Examination and diagnosis:
Evaluation: During your consultation, our dentist examines your teeth and takes X-rays if necessary to assess the extent of the decay.
Treatment Plan: We develop a personalized treatment plan, taking into account your needs and preferences.
Preparation of the tooth:
Cleaning: We clean the affected tooth to remove any decay and prepare the surface for bonding.
Application of the adhesive: We apply an adhesive solution to the tooth to ensure a strong bond between the tooth and the composite material.
Application of the composite material:
Placement: We apply the composite resin in successive layers to the tooth, each layer being cured with a special light.
Shaping and polishing: We shape the composite to replicate the natural form of the tooth, then polish it to achieve a smooth and shiny surface.
After the treatment:
Post-operative care: After the treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, to extend the lifespan of the restoration.
Regular check-ups: Regular dental visits are essential to monitor the condition of your restorations and to detect any new decay at an early stage.
