The Unique Fluoride Recharge Power of GIC

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.

  • ✓ High compressive strength for heavy bite
  • ✓ Instant LED light curing
  • ✓ Rates: NPR 1,500 – 6,500

Silver Amalgam

Outdated Alloy

Traditional metal alloy containing mercury. Lacks chemical bonding and creates micro-cracks over time under chewing pressure.

  • Unsightly black/metallic color
  • No fluoride protection
  • Requires aggressive healthy tooth removal
  • 24-hour setting time

Our 5-Step Gentle GIC Procedure

A fast, child-friendly, and atraumatic restorative protocol.

01

Gentle Debridement

Soft decay is gently removed with micro-hand instruments or low-speed burs, conserving maximum healthy tooth structure.

02

Dentin Conditioning

A mild polyacrylic acid conditioner is applied for 10 seconds to clean the surface smear layer and enhance chemical bonding.

03

GC Fuji IX Mixing

We use genuine Japanese GC Fuji IX/Gold Label glass ionomer, precisely mixed for optimal viscosity, strength, and fluoride release.

04

Adaptation & Direct Fusion

The GIC cement is gently placed and adapted into the cavity where it chemically fuses with calcium ions in the tooth.

05

Protective Glaze & Occlusal Check

A light-cured protective glaze is applied over the filling to shield it from initial saliva moisture while it reaches full hardness.

GIC Fluoride Filling

Glass Ionomer (GIC) Fillings FAQs

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.
