Solve 6 of your Biggest Challenges

With rising patient expectations, dentists must create esthetic restorations without losing efficiency. By using Filtek Universal Restorative to overcome these 6 common challenges, you can more simply create beautiful, lasting results.

1. Match VITA and blend to natural dentition

Filtek Universal Restorative, which is a true nano-composite, helps you create natural-looking restorations with efficiency and simplicity, using 8 specially designed shades, plus an XW, that blend to natural dentition.

Match VITA and blend

All 8 Filtek Universal designer shades plus an Extra White (XW) cover 100% of the 19 VITA classical and bleach shades.1

2. Match the white shade of bleached teeth

With a whiter, extra white (XW), Filtek Universal Restorative eliminates the need for another specialty shade, simplifying the matching process and giving your patients an extra white smile.

6. Warm with confidence

Filtek Universal Restorative capsules can be warmed up to 70Ā°C/158Ā°F for one hour, by doing so this lowers extrusion force and doesn't change physical properties.
