The Economics of Class II Restorations: The Underestimated Profit Engine in Everyday Dentistry

with Dr. Matthew Burton

FREE Live Webinar

Date: Wednesday, 12 November 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM AEDT

Overview

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 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 in net profit 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

  • Compare Class II direct restorations with crowns and aligners in terms of reimbursement, variable costs, and net contribution per clinical hour.
  • Calculate chair time efficiency, identify overhead-reduction opportunities, and apply per-hour profitability benchmarks to real-world scenarios.
  • Implement clinical and scheduling techniques—including optimized prep designs, advanced matrix systems, and team delegation—to complete high-quality Class II restorations efficiently and profitably.
