However, there is now a modern method that has been designed to help you overcome these difficulties.

Watch it in action here, and see how one patient was successfully retreated using this method. Using the Bioclear Matrix System with the Bioclear Method, you can now offer a superior alternative to porcelain techniques with direct composites. As well as promoting gingival health and enabling papilla regeneration, they rival the aesthetics of porcelain veneers so you can offer patients the minimally invasive, aesthetically superior results they want.
