At Copper Mountain Dental in Herriman, our philosophy is simple: Prevention First. We believe our job is to help you keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime. That’s why we are proud to offer Curodont™ Repair—a breakthrough in minimally invasive dentistry that allows us to treat early decay without the drill.
What is Curodont?
Curodont is a revolutionary biomimetic peptide solution designed to treat "pre-cavities." These are early-stage enamel lesions (often called "watch areas") that haven't yet become full holes in your teeth.
Unlike traditional treatments that wait for a cavity to get large enough to drill, Curodont works with your body. It creates a tiny "scaffold" within the weakened enamel that attracts natural calcium and phosphate from your saliva. This process, known as remineralization, essentially helps your tooth heal itself from the inside out.
Why Our Patients Love Curodont
Choosing Curodont at our Herriman office means choosing a more comfortable, conservative path to oral health.
No Drills, No Needles: Since we aren't removing tooth structure, there is no need for drilling or local anesthesia. It is 100% painless and ideal for children or anxious patients.
Preserves Your Natural Tooth: Traditional fillings require removing healthy tooth structure to "seat" the filling. Curodont preserves the natural integrity and strength of your enamel.
Reverses Early Decay: It doesn’t just "monitor" a soft spot; it actively works to harden the enamel and stop decay before it progresses.
Reduces Sensitivity: By strengthening porous enamel, many patients report a significant decrease in sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
How the Treatment Works
A Curodont application is quick, easy, and fits seamlessly into a routine cleaning appointment:
Detection: During your exam, Dr. Lindgren identifies early-stage lesions or "white spots."
Application: The Curodont gel is applied directly to the cleaned tooth surface. It takes only a few minutes to soak into the enamel.
Healing: The peptide goes to work immediately, guiding minerals into the enamel to rebuild the tooth over the following weeks.
A Smart Investment in Your Smile
Many offices take a "wait and see" approach, but we’ve found that being proactive is better for your health and your wallet.
Most traditional fillings cost between $150 and $300+. Currently, we are currently offering an introductory rate for Curodont treatments at Copper Mountain Dental for just $75 per tooth. While it is typically not yet covered by insurance, it is a fraction of the cost of a future filling, crown, or root canal.
Is Curodont Right for You?
Curodont is an incredible tool for:
Children and Teens with early signs of decay.
Orthodontic Patients looking to treat "white spots" after braces.
Fluoride-Free Patients who want to strengthen enamel without high-concentration fluoride varnishes.
Anyone with a beginning (incipient) cavity or watch area who would like to prevent the need for a filling.
