Guided Enamel Regeneration
Guided Enamel Regeneration at Isle of Wight Dental Clinic
A Non-Invasive Approach to Protecting Your Teeth
At the Isle of Wight Dental Clinic in Wootton Bridge, we believe that maintaining your natural smile is one of the best ways to ensure long-term oral health. That’s why we are excited to offer Guided Enamel Regeneration (GER), an advanced, non-invasive treatment for early-stage tooth decay.
This innovative approach bridges the gap between preventive care and more invasive treatments, offering an effective and pain-free solution for protecting your teeth.
What is Guided Enamel Regeneration?
Guided Enamel Regeneration (GER) is a regenerative treatment designed to reverse the damage caused by early carious lesions, commonly known as early-stage tooth decay. GER bridges the gap between prevention and invasive restorative treatments. Unlike traditional methods that require drilling and filling, GER focuses on regenerating and strengthening the tooth’s natural enamel. This treatment targets early decay before it progresses, helping to restore your tooth while keeping its structure intact.
How Does GER Work?
GER works by using cutting-edge Monomer-Peptide. When applied to the affected area, this technology diffuses deep into the tooth’s enamel, reaching the early, non-cavitated carious lesions—those areas where decay is present, but a cavity has not yet formed. Once there, the technology helps form new hydroxyapatite crystals, the natural building blocks of tooth enamel. This process effectively regenerates and strengthens the enamel, allowing the tooth to heal itself.
By focusing on the in-depth regeneration of enamel, GER maintains the integrity of the tooth, providing a natural, long-term solution to early tooth decay. This process is completely non-invasive, meaning no drilling, no filling, and no pain—just a simple application to help your teeth repair themselves.
Benefits of Guided Enamel Regeneration
No Drilling or Filling:
Traditional treatments for tooth decay often involve drilling into the tooth to remove the decay and then filling the cavity with a restorative material. GER eliminates the need for drilling, allowing your tooth to heal naturally without any invasive procedures.
Preserves Natural Tooth Structure:
Once a tooth is drilled, it loses part of its natural structure, and that loss is permanent. GER works by regenerating the enamel from within, preserving your natural tooth and its strength.
Pain-Free Treatment:
For patients who experience dental anxiety or fear of the dentist’s drill, GER is an excellent option to avoid it. The procedure is pain-free and non-invasive, making it a stress-free experience for you.
Preventative Approach:
GER targets decay at its earliest stages, stopping it before it progresses to more serious levels that would require fillings or crowns. By catching and treating decay early, you reduce the need for more extensive treatments in the future.
Safe for All Ages:
GER is suitable for both children and adults, making it a great option for protecting developing teeth or for adults looking to prevent future decay.
Cost-Effective:
Preventing cavities with Guided Enamel Regeneration means you can avoid the higher costs associated with restorative treatments. This makes GER a cost-effective option for maintaining your oral health in the long run.
