This is the protocol of how we restore every tooth in our practice. The key here is removing all bacteria and decay before bonding new direct or indirect restorations.
Step 1
Initial leaking old fillings with decay and cracks
Step 2
Removal of old dentistry which shows decay
Step 3
Decay, cracks, and affected tooth structure removed
Step 4
Foundational core buildups
Step 5
Clean, conservative preparations with definitive margins
Step 6
Provisional restorations
Step 7
Final ceramic restorations which blend seamlessly with the rest of the dentition
