Class II direct restorations are among the most common procedures in general dentistry—yet their financial contribution is often overlooked. This fast-paced, data-driven webinar explores how Class II composites can quietly drive consistent profitability and practice stability, even alongside high-fee procedures like crowns, implants, and aligners.
We’ll break down the economics behind chair time, reimbursement, and contribution margins to reveal how efficient direct restorations can deliver $500–$600 per productive hour. Attendees will also learn practical strategies to maximize efficiency and maintain a strong bottom line—without compromising patient care or clinical quality.
By the end of this session, participants will gain a renewed appreciation for the financial power of everyday restorative dentistry and actionable methods to optimize both workflow and profitability.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how Class II direct restorations compare to crowns and aligners in terms of reimbursement, variable costs, and net contribution per clinical hour.
- Learn to calculate chair time efficiency, identify overhead-reduction opportunities, and apply per-hour profitability benchmarks to real-world scenarios.
- Explore clinical and scheduling techniques—including optimized prep designs, advanced matrix systems, and team delegation—to complete high-quality Class II restorations more efficiently and profitably.
