Porcelain Reinforced Fillings

The Porcelain Reinforced Filling Procedure

Getting a porcelain reinforced filling typically requires two visits to our office. The process is as follows:

1. Consultation and Preparation: During your first visit, we begin with a consultation to assess your dental needs and discuss your treatment options. If a larger filling is necessary, we prepare the affected tooth, removing any decay or damage, and shaping it for the restoration.
2. Digital Impressions: Using state-of-the-art digital scanners, we take highly accurate impressions of your tooth. Unlike traditional molds, digital impressions are comfortable and eliminate the need for messy impression materials.
3. Designing the Filling: The digital images are sent to a CEREC machine that designs the filling with exact precision. You can even see the design process in real-time on a computer screen, ensuring the restoration fits perfectly with your bite and aesthetic goals.
4. Fabricating the Filling: Once the design is approved, the CEREC system fabricates your filling from a block of porcelain. This process takes approximately 10-15 minutes, and the result is a high-quality, durable restoration.
5. Placing the Filling: Once the restoration is ready, we place it on your tooth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably. The final result is a smooth, natural-looking filling that is durable and functional.
