GIC Filling: A Durable, Fluoride-Releasing Solution for Dental Restoration
Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) fillings are a reliable choice for filling cavities, especially in areas that are not exposed to heavy chewing pressure. At DERMA & DENTAL CLINIC, we offer high-quality GIC fillings that provide strength and protection to your teeth while also releasing fluoride to help prevent future decay.
What is a GIC Filling?
A GIC filling is a type of dental restoration material made from a combination of glass and acrylic acids. It bonds directly to the tooth structure and releases fluoride over time, making it an excellent option for cavities, particularly in back teeth. GIC fillings are a great choice for patients seeking a durable and cost-effective solution to tooth restoration.
How GIC Fillings Work:
Tooth Preparation: The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed.
Filling Application: The GIC material is applied and bonds directly to the tooth.
Setting: The filling hardens quickly and releases fluoride to protect the tooth from future decay.

Health Tips & Info
GIC fillings are durable and can last 5 to 7 years, depending on the size of the cavity and the location of the filling. They are not as long-lasting as composite fillings but provide reliable results for areas that are not subjected to heavy chewing pressure.
Yes, GIC fillings are safe and made from biocompatible materials. They also release fluoride, which can help prevent further tooth decay. GIC fillings are commonly used for both children and adults and are free from harmful chemicals like mercury.
GIC fillings are best suited for smaller cavities or cavities in areas that do not undergo heavy chewing. For large cavities, composite or amalgam fillings may be a better option due to their added strength and durability.
