Bonding Goes Digital
Using a streamlined digital workflow and clinically proven 3M Filtek dental composites, the 3M Filtek Matrix delivers esthetic results in a cost-effective package
Every doctor dreams of treating more patients while seeing their case acceptance go through the roof. But all too quickly, complicated treatment plans with a high price tag and multiple appointments can turn that dream into a nightmare. What if you could meet more of your patients’ needs using a streamlined digital workflow?
Great Smiles Are a Snap Away
While composite bonding offers a fairly simple way to repair damaged anterior teeth, free-handing the procedure can be time-consuming and unpredictable. The 3M Filtek Matrix offers a blueprint for better cosmetic bonding in just 3 easy steps:
1. Diagnose and scan the patient’s teeth
2. Approve/make changes to the digitally designed restoration in the web-based 3M Oral Care portal
3. Receive the 3D-printed 3M Filtek Matrix in about 2 weeks and deliver the composite
Less Chair Time
3M Filtek Matrix cuts down on chair time compared to porcelain veneers, which can require up to 3 office visits and reduction of
healthy enamel—not to mention a high patient cost. As an additive procedure, 3M Filtek Matrix helps maintain more healthy tooth structure with a conservative design. The procedure accommodates straightforward to complex cases, including peg laterals, undersized or misaligned teeth, worn dentition, single/multiple diastema closures, and full maxillary cases.
Supreme Delivery
Using 3M Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative in tandem with the 3M Filtek Matrix offers the benefits of 3M’s proprietary TRUE nanotechnology, which ensures an easy polish and a restoration that retains its natural gloss, as well as provides high strength and wear resistance. For even simpler placement, capsules can be warmed for up to an hour to lower extrusion forces and ensure easy delivery into the matrix.
