At Cunha Coutinho Health, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal oral health and preserving the natural beauty of your smile. Our experienced team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional care and personalised treatment options for all your dental needs. One of the most common problems we address is tooth decay. We specialise in treating cavities with fillings, a highly effective and conservative method for restoring and strengthening damaged teeth.
Tooth decay is a prevalent oral health condition caused by the gradual destruction of tooth structure due to the activity of bacteria in the mouth. The main culprits of tooth decay are certain types of bacteria that feed on the sugars and carbohydrates in our diet. These bacteria produce acids that, over time, erode the protective enamel layer of our teeth, giving rise to cavities.
Early signs of tooth decay include tooth sensitivity, mild pain, visible discolouration or the presence of white spots on the tooth surface. If left untreated, decay can progress deeper into the tooth, resulting in more extensive damage, toothache and potential infection.
At Cunha Coutinho Saúde, we prioritise conservative and minimally invasive approaches to dental care. When it comes to treating tooth decay, our preferred method is the use of dental fillings. Fillings are a tried and tested treatment option that involves removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling the resulting cavity with a durable, biocompatible material.
The process of treating caries with restorations usually involves the following steps:
Our dental team is made up of highly qualified and experienced dentists who keep up to date with the latest advances in dental techniques and technologies.

At Cunha Coutinho Saúde, we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care and preserving the health and beauty of your smile. Our experienced team of dental professionals understands the importance of treating dental problems quickly and effectively. One such condition we specialise in is pulp necrosis, and our preferred method for treating it is root canal treatment (endodontic therapy).
Pulp necrosis refers to the death of the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth that consists of blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. Pulp necrosis can occur due to various reasons, including untreated tooth decay, trauma, cracks or fractures in the tooth, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth.
When pulp necrosis occurs, it can cause severe pain, temperature sensitivity, swelling and potential infection. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and result in abscess formation, bone loss or even loss of the tooth. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure that aims to save the tooth and relieve the associated pain and discomfort.
We have agreements with several insurance companies and health plans to offer you the treatments you need at the most affordable prices.
