Conservative Dentistry in Warsaw
Conservative Dentistry in Warsaw
Conservative dentistry is the foundation of all dental treatment: it focuses on preserving natural teeth through the diagnosis and treatment of tooth decay, the restoration of cavities with composite fillings, and prevention. At the Adent clinic in Mokotów, it is provided by dentists specializing in conservative dentistry, and every course of treatment begins with a check-up. Without treating tooth decay first, no specialist therapy can be carried out safely.

Temporary protection of a cavity between treatment stages, for example during root canal treatment.
Learn more →What Is Conservative Dentistry
Conservative dentistry covers the diagnosis and treatment of tooth decay, the restoration of cavities with composite fillings, and the prevention of diseases of the hard tissues of the tooth. Tooth decay is a bacterial disease: Streptococcus mutans bacteria produce acids that destroy enamel. The goal of conservative treatment is to stop this process and keep the patient’s own tooth for as long as possible, before specialist treatment becomes necessary.
When Conservative Dentistry Is No Longer Enough
When damage to a tooth goes beyond what conservative treatment can address, we move on to specialist treatment, in the same clinic:
What to Expect at Your Visit, Step by Step
We provide conservative treatment according to a consistent, predictable sequence.
- Medical history and clinical examination
A conversation about your symptoms, examination of the teeth with a dental probe and mirror, and assessment of the gums and periodontium.
- Diagnostic imaging
Depending on clinical indications: a periapical X-ray (of a single tooth) taken on site, or a panoramic X-ray (of the whole dentition) on referral to an external imaging center.
- Treatment plan
We discuss the scope, sequence and estimated cost, so the patient makes an informed decision about every stage.
- Anesthesia
Before every invasive procedure we give local anesthesia, preceded by a topical numbing gel.
- Treatment and restoration
Removal of decayed tissue, disinfection of the cavity and restoration with a color-matched composite, followed by bite adjustment.
- Aftercare instructions
No eating for 2 hours, and no staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine) during the first 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Conservative Dentistry
Does cavity treatment hurt?
Cavity treatment is routinely performed under local anesthesia, which keeps discomfort to a minimum. Before the injection, a topical numbing gel is applied to minimize the discomfort of the needle. After the procedure, the anesthesia lasts 1–2 hours.
How long does a composite filling last?
A composite filling typically lasts 5–10 years, and new-generation nanocomposites up to 10–15 years. Durability depends on the location of the tooth, the size of the cavity and the quality of oral hygiene.
When is a filling not enough and a crown needed?
A dental crown is indicated when a cavity covers more than half of the tooth crown, or when the tooth has had root canal treatment and is weakened. A ceramic crown on a post and core protects the root and restores chewing function.
Can tooth decay be reversed without drilling?
Early decay at the stage of enamel demineralization (a white chalky spot) can remineralize with fluoride preparations and improved oral hygiene, without drilling. Once the enamel surface breaks down or the dentin is affected, the cavity has to be prepared and filled.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
The recommended interval between check-ups is 6 months: regular visits make it possible to detect tooth decay while it is still painless. Patients with orthodontic braces, implants or periodontal disease should come in every 3–4 months.
