Is it suitable for your tooth?

Your dentist assesses what needs repairing and which material is suitable. Some restorations need to be made in a laboratory, which may mean more than one visit.

How your repair is made

The team scans the prepared tooth and designs the repair on a computer. The material and manufacturing method depend on the tooth and your treatment plan. Your dentist checks the fit and bite before finishing the repair.

The restorative team can explain who would treat you and which manufacturing process your case would use.
