What is Resin Infiltration?

Resin infiltration is an innovative procedure used to treat the earliest stages of tooth decay.

Unlike traditional fillings that require drilling into the tooth, infiltration uses a special resin that penetrates the enamel to seal and strengthen the affected area, essentially halting the progression of the decay.

First, your dentist will clean and prepare the tooth by removing any plaque and bacteria. Then, a thin layer of resin is applied to the affected area. The resin flows into the tiny pores and cracks in the enamel, filling them in and preventing further damage.

Who Can Benefit from Resin Infiltration?

Resin infiltration is ideal for patients with early signs of tooth decay. It works best on:

Children and adults with white spots or early cavities on their teeth
Patients who want to avoid more invasive procedures like fillings
People with cavities in hard-to-reach areas, such as between teeth
Anyone looking to prevent additional damage to their teeth

Is Resin Infiltration Safe?

Absolutely! Resin infiltration is a safe, effective, and gentle treatment that has been widely used in dentistry for years. Since it’s non-invasive, there’s no need for numbing or drilling, making it an ideal option for both kids and adults.

The materials used are also biocompatible, meaning they are designed to be safe for your teeth and the body.

How Long Will the Effects of Resin Infiltration Last?

Resin infiltration is a long-lasting solution for early cavities, with results typically lasting several years.

Of course, regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maintaining your results. By brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist every six months, you can enjoy the benefits of resin infiltration for a long time.
