Conservative dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on preserving and restoring natural teeth with minimal removal of healthy tooth structure. It aims to treat dental problems such as cavities, tooth decay, fractures, and worn teeth while maintaining as much of the original tooth as possible.
This approach emphasizes early diagnosis, preventive care, and minimally invasive procedures to protect long-term oral health. Common conservative dentistry treatments include dental fillings, inlays, onlays, root canal treatment, and tooth restoration procedures.
Conservative dentistry helps restore tooth function, improve appearance, relieve pain, and prevent the need for more extensive dental procedures in the future.
