A Closer Look at Our Process

At Siya Dental Clinic, we firmly believe that every dental procedure deserves the highest level of care and precision, especially when it comes to Class II restorations.

WHAT REALLY IS CLASS 2 CAVITY ?

NOW let us see why class II is challenging and the procedure involved.

This essential procedure restores both the function and aesthetics of your teeth, particularly in areas between molars and premolars affected by decay or fractures. While some clinics may rush through this process, compromising quality, we take the time to ensure that our restorations last and protect your dental health.

The Quick Fix vs. The Siya Dental Clinic Approach

Many of you might find Class II restorations completed in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, this often means essential steps are skipped, leading to weaker restorations and potential complications down the line. Common shortcuts in a quick-fix approach include:

No Isolation: Skipping proper isolation techniques allows saliva and bacteria to contaminate the area, compromising the bond and the long-term success of the restoration.
Skipping Matrix Bands: Avoiding the use of a matrix band results in poor contact points between teeth, creating gaps where food can get trapped and decay can develop.
Rushed Procedure: Completing the restoration in less than 15 minutes can lead to uneven surfaces, improper curing, and a weaker, less durable result.

The Siya Dental Clinic Difference

At Siya Dental Clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality Class II restorations that are built to last. Our meticulous approach ensures that every step is carried out with the utmost precision:

1.Proper Isolation (5-10 minutes):

We start by carefully isolating the tooth with a rubber dam. This ensures a dry, clean environment, free from contamination by saliva, which is crucial for a strong bond and long-lasting restoration.

2.Precise Preparation (10-15 minutes):

We meticulously remove the decayed or damaged tooth structure while preserving as much healthy tooth as possible. This step is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the restoration fits perfectly.

3.Matrix Band Placement (5-10 minutes):

We place a matrix band around the tooth to recreate natural contours and ensure proper contact points with adjacent teeth. This step is vital to prevent food impaction and maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums.

4.Layered Composite Application (15-20 minutes):

We build the restoration in layers using high-quality composite materials that match your natural tooth color. Each layer is carefully placed and cured to ensure a strong bond and smooth finish.

6.Shaping and Polishing (10-15 minutes):

After the composite is set, we meticulously shape and polish the restoration, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth and provides a comfortable bite.

7.Final Evaluation (10 minutes):

We finish with a thorough evaluation, checking for any imperfections and making necessary adjustments. We ensure your bite is properly aligned and that the restoration feels natural and comfortable.

The Result: A Restoration That Stands the Test of Time

At Siya Dental Clinic, we never cut corners. By taking the time to follow these essential steps, we ensure that your Class II restoration is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally superior. Our restorations are designed to last, giving you a strong, natural-looking tooth that you can rely on for years to come.
