What is Composite Laser Filling?
Composite Laser Filling is a modern dental treatment that uses a tooth-colored resin (composite) to restore decayed or damaged teeth. A dental laser is used to precisely remove the decayed area and prepare the tooth, offering a minimally invasive and comfortable experience.
How Does It Work?
The dentist uses a dental laser to gently clean out the cavity or damaged part of the tooth.
Once the area is prepared, a soft composite resin is applied in layers.
Each layer is hardened (cured) with a special light.
The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural look and feel of your tooth
Benefits and Advantages
Minimally Invasive: Laser preparation reduces the need for drills and anesthesia.
Tooth-Colored Finish: Composite blends seamlessly with natural teeth.
Preserves Healthy Tooth Structure: Lasers allow precise removal of only the decayed portion.
Reduced Discomfort: Less vibration and noise compared to traditional methods.
Faster Healing: Lasers promote quicker recovery and reduce swelling.
Applications
Composite Laser Filling is used in a variety of sectors where high-quality composite materials are essential:
- Aerospace: Enhances the performance of lightweight, high-strength components.
- Automotive: Improves the durability and safety of composite parts in modern vehicles.
- Construction: Provides robust solutions for composite building materials and infrastructure projects.
- Electronics: Ensures precision and reliability in composite casings and structural supports.
