Tooth decay is one of the most common dental concerns — but modern technology has transformed the way we treat it. At Alpha Dental Group, we use laser dentistry for caries removal and fillings, providing patients with a precise, comfortable, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional drills.
Caries (tooth decay) occurs when bacteria damage the enamel and dentine, creating cavities. Traditionally, this decay is removed using dental drills before placing a filling.
With laser dentistry, focused light energy is used to gently remove decayed tissue while preserving healthy tooth structure. Once the decay is cleared, a filling material is placed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
Your dentist identifies the decayed area using digital scans and diagnostic tools.
Laser Removal:
The laser is applied to precisely remove decayed tissue, without the noise or pressure of a drill.
Tooth Filling:
A durable tooth-coloured filling material is placed to restore function and appearance.
Polishing & Adjustment:
The filling is shaped and polished to blend naturally with your smile.
Most patients report minimal discomfort. In many cases, anaesthesia is not required.
