Sealed & Fluoride Protected
Cervical Cavity / Erosion
Unlike any other restorative material, Glass Ionomer Cement acts as a fluoride reservoir. It continuously releases fluoride into surrounding enamel and dentin to inhibit bacterial growth.
When you brush with fluoridated toothpaste, the GIC filling absorbs fluoride ions and re-releases them over time, offering active lifetime protection against secondary cavities.
Each restorative material has specialized clinical strengths.
Directly fuses to tooth structure via ionic bonding. Expands and contracts at the exact rate of natural tooth tissue, preventing margin gaps.
Offers superior high-gloss polish and heavy chewing endurance for adult molars, premolars, and front smile makeovers.
Traditional metal alloy containing mercury. Lacks chemical bonding and creates micro-cracks over time under chewing pressure.
A fast, child-friendly, and atraumatic restorative protocol.
Soft decay is gently removed with micro-hand instruments or low-speed burs, conserving maximum healthy tooth structure.
A mild polyacrylic acid conditioner is applied for 10 seconds to clean the surface smear layer and enhance chemical bonding.
We use genuine Japanese GC Fuji IX/Gold Label glass ionomer, precisely mixed for optimal viscosity, strength, and fluoride release.
The GIC cement is gently placed and adapted into the cavity where it chemically fuses with calcium ions in the tooth.
A light-cured protective glaze is applied over the filling to shield it from initial saliva moisture while it reaches full hardness.
Affordable, family-friendly pricing with no hidden charges at our Putalisadak clinic.

Book with Dr. Shakya →Real stories from Kathmandu families who chose gentle GIC fillings at BrightSmile Dental.
"My 6-year-old was terrified of dental drills. The dentist did a GIC filling with zero pain in 15 minutes. Great pediatric care!"
"I had severe cold sensitivity near my gumline from harsh toothbrushing. The GIC filling sealed the root instantly. No more pain!"
"Very affordable at NPR 1,200 and top-notch Japanese GC material used. Very gentle and transparent clinic in Kathmandu."
"My daughter had cavities in 2 baby molars. Dr. used GIC fillings with fluoride release. Highly recommended for kids."
"Had deep decay close to the nerve. Dr. placed a GIC base before the composite filling. Zero post-op sensitivity."
"Clean clinic, punctual appointments, and great explanation of why GIC is ideal for root cavities. Very satisfied."
Fluoride-releasing gentle restorations for pediatric and root cavities.
GIC is a bio-compatible dental restorative material that forms a direct chemical bond with tooth enamel and dentin while continually releasing fluoride to prevent recurrent cavities.
GIC has thermal expansion identical to natural tooth structure, bonds well in moist environments, and releases fluoride into surrounding enamel, making it ideal for pediatric and elderly root cavities.
GIC fillings range from NPR 1,200 to NPR 2,500 per tooth, making them a highly cost-effective restorative option.
GIC initial sets in 5 minutes, and reaches full mature hardness over 24 hours. Avoid chewing very sticky hard candies on that side for the first day.
