Operative dentistry
Composites, restorations and conservative treatments.
Operative dentistry aims to preserve healthy tooth structure while restoring function and aesthetics. Each restoration is planned to respect natural anatomy, occlusion and longevity. The studio favors modern protocols — rigorous isolation, contemporary materials, careful finishing — to deliver discreet and durable restorations.
Indications
- →In case of decay or a minor fracture
- →To replace an old failing restoration
- →For targeted aesthetic refinements
- →When experiencing localized sensitivity

A composite restoration has a variable lifespan depending on habits (bruxism, diet) and hygiene. Certain extensive cases may warrant an indirect restoration.
When a situation goes beyond what can be treated at the studio, we coordinate referral to an appropriate specialist. Certain treatments may require specialized expertise or interdisciplinary care — in those cases, we favour a clear, documented and coordinated referral.
Follow-up and care
Sensitivity is possible for a few days. Avoid very hot or hard foods immediately after treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a composite last?
On average 5 to 10 years, sometimes longer, depending on wear and maintenance.
Can the color of the composite change?
Slightly over time. Periodic polishing helps maintain its appearance.
Is it painful?
With adequate anesthesia, the treatment is comfortable. Short-term post-operative sensitivity is normal.
