Laser Filling
Restore a cavity or a small damaged area with a filling selected for your tooth. Tooth-coloured composite can blend with your smile. The dentist will explain the filling material and equipment used for your case.

Your dentist will provide instructions suited to your treatment and recovery.
Before your visit
Is light-curing the same as a laser?
Not necessarily. Many composite fillings are hardened with a dental curing light. Ask which technique is planned for your tooth.
Will I need a crown instead?
A more extensively damaged tooth may need a different restoration. This is decided after examination.
What will the treatment cost?
The clinic will explain the treatment fee in Indian rupees (₹) after assessing your needs and agreeing the treatment plan.
How is the filling material selected?
The dentist considers the size and location of the cavity, your bite and the amount of healthy tooth remaining.
What if my bite feels different afterwards?
Contact the clinic if the filled tooth feels high when biting or discomfort persists. The dentist can check the restoration.
