2. Digital Impressions:
   • Scanning: Using a specialized intraoral scanner, we will take digital impressions of your teeth. This process is quick, comfortable, and highly accurate.

4. Placement:
   • Preparation: The tooth receiving the restoration is prepared by removing any decay or old filling material.
