Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is the first non-invasive, drill-free regenerative treatment for treating and reversing early tooth decay and white spot lesions before they become cavities that require restoration. Curodont is applied chairside and uses a proprietary self-assembling peptide made of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals found in a patient’s saliva to begin naturally correcting and rebuilding cavities within 5 minutes of application.
For more than 20 years, Dental Depot has been at the forefront of innovative treatment options to help deliver the best dental care possible to patients in and around the DFW area. With Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, it is now even easier for patients to receive the proactive, preventative oral care they deserve for a lifetime of good oral health.
Unlike other restorative products—including fluoride, which only promotes remineralization on the tooth’s surface—Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus regenerates a tooth with a cavity from the inside out, facilitating the natural rebuilding and repair of the tooth at the first signs of decay.

Curodont is also beneficial in the dental setting. By being able to quickly and immediately apply the restorative solution—without drilling, anesthetic, or sedation—dentists can treat more patients more quickly while mitigating the need for more time- and cost-intensive procedures in the future, and patients can get the preventative care and protection they deserve in less time with less impact on their wallet. By using Curodont as a first line of defense, dentists can avoid drilling into the tooth, fillings, and filling replacements, all of which alleviates additional costs.
Cavities begin to develop below the enamel, or the outermost layer of the tooth crown, and early decay or cavities may be visible on the surface. If left untreated, the cavities continue to decay through the enamel and into the dentin, an inner layer of the tooth that supports the enamel and protects the pulp, where it will start to cause pain. Deep cavities require drilling and filling to correct.
However, if caught early, surface lesions can be highly treatable with Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus. Here’s how.
Once an early carious lesion (an area of decay that could potentially turn into a cavity) is identified, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is applied directly onto the cleaned surface of the treatment area and allowed to dry for five minutes. This one five-minute application is all that is needed to activate the Curodont process.
Over the course of the next few weeks, Curodont’s unique CUROLUX® formulation penetrates deep into the surface of the enamel and leverages a proprietary self-assembling peptide to recruit the minerals like calcium and phosphate found in saliva that are necessary for new hydroxyapatite crystal growth, remineralizing, re-hardening, and strengthening the tooth.
Initial results are visible in about 90 days with radiographic changes visible within 3-6 months. While one application is often enough, results can be optimized by reapplying Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus at 3-6 month intervals and combining it with fluoride treatment.
Addressing cavities now can help you avoid costly and invasive restorative dental procedures in the future. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is an easy, convenient, and affordable way to prevent or even reverse early tooth decay, and it’s just one of the ways Dental Depot of DFW remains committed to providing our patients with the high quality, commonsense preventative and restorative dental care services they need with the compassion and respect they deserve.
