Questions? We are here to help.

Treatment may be completed in as little as two appointments, using a conservative, additive approach designed to preserve natural tooth structure. When clinicians choose to share treatment designs, Clarity Portal's built-in visualization tools provide a seamless way for patients to review and understand their treatment plan before treatment acceptance. This can help support patient confidence and satisfaction throughout the treatment journey.

Filtek Matrix is designed to make anterior composite restorations more predictable and less stressful than traditional freehand approaches. Training resources, step-by-step videos and a complimentary training kit provided upon first case approval help you prepare and feel confident before treating your first patient.

Less than you might think, and you won't do it alone. Adding Filtek Matrix follows a clear, step-by-step path backed by real support at every stage. 

You'll start in Clarity™ Portal, where you can access training resources and submit case orders. You will review and approve the proposed treatment design before the custom matrix is created. This lets your team learn the workflow in manageable stages. 

You'll also receive business implementation resources to help introduce Filtek Matrix to the right patients, along with optional chairside guidance for your first case. From onboarding to your first result, we're here to help you make it a natural part of your practice. 

Filtek Matrix is designed to support efficiency and value over time. Start offering smile transformations with Filtek Matrix using the scanner and trusted Filtek restorative materials already in your practice.

While no additional equipment is required, many experienced users and Key Opinion Leaders recommend warming the composite to improve flow characteristics during injection and support a more efficient workflow. By helping reduce finishing and polishing and supporting a more streamlined anterior workflow, it may help practices expand the conservative, esthetic treatment options they offer.

The digitally designed, patient-specific matrix helps guide composite placement according to your approved plan. Its smooth surface allows for delivery of facial anatomy and minimal facial flash to reduce finishing and polishing, supporting a more efficient anterior workflow than traditional freehand technique.
