Convenience

Procedure for Ceramic Restorations
The dentist begins the procedure with the dental examinations and collects the patient’s medical history as a regular procedure.
The tooth is then cleaned and reshaped by trimming to prepare it for restoration.
The next step is to take the impression of the teeth, and the dental putty is used to do the needful.
The impression taken turns into a mold, and the dental lab technology present in the dental clinic itself will make the required restorations ready in a few minutes.
Once the restoration is ready, it is placed on the patient’s tooth on the same day making the tooth structure ready for transformation and functionality.
