Laser Filling of Teeth ?

Laser filling of the teeth is a painless or less invasive alternative to conventional drilling, which is performed by using focused light energy to eliminate tooth defects, leaving the hole sterile. It is more precise, causes less anesthesia and discomfort, and hardens composite fillings faster, forming a better bond. The laser operates at very high rates (up to 1000 pulses per second) and prevents pain signals from reaching your brain, making the procedure much more comfortable than other cavity treatments.

Dr. Jaydev Matapathi, Smile design specialist in Hyderabad,

says that “Many of his nervous patients are amazed to learn that we have completed their filling and they have not even received a single injection- laser technology has totally transformed the comfort level of cavity treatment.” 

That is why there is a much greater preference for laser filling among patients compared to the old drill-and-fill technique.

Pass on the Needles: Filling: In most laser-filling procedures, numbing injections are not needed, as the laser does not cause the same pain as drilling.

Goodbye to Drilling Sounds: No more chilling whirring sounds, or shaking that causes the person to clench the armrest- Lasers are silent and efficient.

Saves More of Your Natural Tooth. Lasers are very, very specific, removing only the destroyed portion of the tooth, leaving as much healthy tooth as possible.

Fillings Last Longer: The laser, in fact, enhances the adhesive properties of the filling material to your tooth, so they last longer.

Kills Bacteria As It Works: The laser sterilizes the cavity while destroying the decay, minimizing the risk of future problems.

Have More Than One Filling at the same time: Not being numb, there is nothing wrong with filling in a number of holes in a single sitting, as opposed to returning again and again.

Research indicates that dentinal teeth bonded with laser dental treatment are well bonded with the filling and leave fewer remaining bacteria than drilled dentinal teeth

The experience of receiving a laser filling is very distinct compared to what you may recall of the conventional cavity fillings.

Locating and Cleaning the Decay: Your dentist uses a laser to detect early, hard-to-see decay, then meticulously removes only the decayed tooth material.

Removal of Bacteria: By removing the decay, the laser eliminates bacteria concealed in deeper parts of the cavity, which could become an issue in the future.

Forming a Clean Surface: The laser sterilizes the entire surface, providing the filling material with a bacteria-free, clean surface to bond to.

Placing Your Filling: After making the cavity, your dentist puts tooth-colored filling material, also known as filling, which adheres to the laser-prepared surface exceptionally well.

Walk Out Feeling Normal: You can eat, drink, and talk normally immediately because you do not have to wait for the numbness to wear off.

The entire procedure takes nearly as long as a typical filling; however, the vast majority of people find it far more enjoyable.
