Modern Crown & Bridge
From badly debilitated teeth to esthetic and functional rehabilitation, there are certain best practices and techniques which make the difference between lasting success and premature failure.
A case-based approach will be taken to expand on topics such as::
- Contemporary post and core delivery - the when, why, and how of complex core build-ups.
- Best practices for light curing - technologies that bring assurances for depth of cure.
- Should I cement or should I bond my restorations? Our indirect restorations are not those from decades ago. Neither are the cement options. Minimally invasive/minimally prepared, partial coverage, esthetic overlays, the expanding world of zirconia, trusted silica based ceramics, desire for bio-activity, etc...there are endless complexities and considerations when choosing how to deliver final restorations.
