Aspen Dental and Curodont™: Discover a new drill-free solution for early cavities

Dental anxiety is something we’ve all experienced — frequently due to the fear of treating cavities. If you’ve ever found yourself turning your routine 6-month checkup into a 9-month or 12-month checkup due to a fear of pain, needles or drills, there’s an exciting new option for you: Curodont^TM by vVARDIS. An innovative new treatment that treats early cavities without the use of drills or needles, Curodont^TM is the latest in dental technology and now available at Aspen Dental nationwide. It's time to say goodbye to drills and needles, and see if Curodont^TM is for you.

Curodont™, what is it?

Curodont^TM is a chairside treatment that treats early-stage tooth cavities. It was developed by vVARDIS, a company with more than 25 years of clinical and laboratory research. Thanks to its proprietary formulation, it repairs early cavities without the need for invasive drilling or needles. The best part? It takes as little as 3 minutes to apply. Combined with the fact that it’s stainless and tasteless, this groundbreaking solution is designed with everyone in mind.

Here's how it works: During a routine hygiene visit, your dental provider applies Curodont^TM directly to an early cavity, also known as an area of weakened enamel. Mimicking nature, Curodont^TM repairs early cavities drill-free, restoring the lost minerals and helping to preserve the natural tooth structure.

Why Curodont™ matters

According to the CDC, about one in four adults in the U.S. has untreated tooth decay. A lot of those cases started as small spots; the kind a dentist would note, monitor and address only after they progress into something that needs a filling, a crown or worse. As a patient, we know that wait-and-see time isn’t comfortable, which is why we’ve added Curodont^TM to our available treatment options.

Curodont^TM helps eliminate that watch period to give you the peace of mind you deserve. At over 1,100 locations, Aspen Dental clinicians can now treat early cavities during a hygiene visit you already have scheduled. No separate visit. No anesthesia. No recovery time. Just a few additional minutes in the chair, and your smile is being proactively treated rather than passively monitored.

The good news just keeps coming, though: Catching and treating cavities early means you'll be able to preserve natural tooth structure and help avoid the need for fillings, crowns, or other restorative treatments later on. That means needing less time off work, lower out-of-pocket costs and a lot less stress.

Curodont™ and our patients

Now that Curodont^TM is available, Aspen Dental patients are loving the results. In fact, one patient from Chicago, Illinois recently shared her experience after receiving Curodont^TM at her local Aspen Dental:

“When I had Curodont^TM placed during my dental appointment, the experience was completely pain-free and incredibly quick. It took less than 30 seconds! The dental hygienist made it so easy, and the doctor clearly explained why this proactive treatment was the right choice for my smile.”

- Alexandra F., Chicago, IL

We've been so excited to bring this innovative treatment to our patients, and it’s amazing to see they’re as happy with the experience as we’d hoped. Overtime, we aim to help all Aspen Dental patients enjoy this drill-free solution, and the peace of mind that comes with it.

Where Curodont™ fits in the bigger picture

With over 1,100 Aspen Dental offices across the country, we're making dental care less intimidating and more accessible to all. Adding Curodont^TM to the toolkit is a natural extension of that. It gives patients like you another option, one that lets you feel empowered and confident about your care instead of waiting to treat minor wait-and-see areas and fearing bad news at your next routine checkup.
