Laser Fillings

Overview

Laser-assisted fillings use focused light energy to remove decay precisely while preserving more healthy tooth structure. The cavity is then restored with a tooth-coloured filling material.

What it addresses

• Tooth decay and cavities
• Early damage that can be treated conservatively

Treatment process

1. 1Diagnosis and assessment of the cavity
2. 2Precise, minimally invasive removal of decay
3. 3Placement and shaping of a tooth-coloured filling
4. 4Bite check and polishing

Potential benefits

• More conservative removal of tooth structure
• Improved comfort for many patients
• Natural-looking, tooth-coloured result

Benefits vary by individual. A consultation is required to determine suitability — no specific outcome is guaranteed.

Who may need this treatment

• Patients with cavities who prefer a minimally invasive approach
• Patients who feel anxious about conventional drilling
