is a new approach focusing on conserving tooth structure rather than radically removing it.

Minimally invasive dentistry is a philosophy of oral health provision. It focuses on comprehensive preventive management and minimally invasive approaches to operative interventions. This approach is founded on conserving your tooth structure rather than radically removing it. Minimally invasive dentistry follows a new paradigm in dentistry, as it requires minimal surgical intervention, the use of modern adhesive materials according to stringent scientific principles, and prevention according to the individual patients needs. Minimally invasive treatment has long-term benefits. Rather than invasive treatments that often lead to loss of tooth structure, complications, tooth loss, and possible overall health problems, minimally invasive dentistry’s goal is to preserve your teeth. Such a philosophy ultimately leads to a prolonged life-span of the patient’s natural smile and whole body health. See examples of non-invasive additive treatments in esthetic dentistry.
