Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) restoration is a commonly used dental filling treatment for repairing decayed, damaged, or sensitive teeth. GIC is a tooth-colored material that chemically bonds to the natural tooth structure and releases fluoride over time, helping to prevent further decay. It is especially useful for children, root surface cavities, temporary restorations, and non-load-bearing areas of the teeth. The procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and usually completed in a single visit. GIC restorations provide good aesthetics, reduce tooth sensitivity, and help restore the tooth’s function while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Composite restoration is a modern dental treatment used to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored teeth using a tooth-colored resin material. The composite material is carefully matched to the natural shade of the teeth, providing an aesthetic and natural-looking result. During the procedure, the damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the composite resin is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened using a special curing light. Composite restorations bond directly to the tooth structure, helping preserve more natural tooth tissue while restoring strength and function. This treatment is commonly used for cavities, cosmetic corrections, closing gaps, and improving the appearance of teeth, offering a durable and minimally invasive solution for a healthy and confident smile.
Inlay and onlay restorations are advanced dental treatments used to repair moderately damaged or decayed teeth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. These restorations are custom-made from materials such as ceramic, porcelain, or composite resin and are designed to fit precisely into or onto the damaged tooth. An inlay is used when the damage is limited to the grooves between the tooth cusps, while an onlay extends over one or more cusps to provide additional strength and protection. The procedure involves removing the damaged portion of the tooth, taking a digital or physical impression, and bonding the custom restoration securely to the tooth surface. Inlays and onlays are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and provide a conservative alternative to full dental crowns, helping restore both function and natural appearance.
