Beautiful restorations do not happen by accident. They are the result of careful and thoughtful treatment planning and rendering treatment that mimics nature and respects biology. Providing restorations that last a long time is also not an accident, restorations need to be maintained properly. Sometimes, the oral environment where we place our restorations is less than optimal and we may need to use some tricks to create a favorable environment during and after treatment.
