Category: Inlays and Onlays Age: 60 Gender: Female Skin Tone: Medium Description: Often, with only the slightest symptoms, it is possible and even probable to overlook what is actually happening.

Category: Inlays and Onlays Gender: Male Skin Tone: Medium Description: Replacing silver fillings for no reason is , in my opinion, inexcusable. There certainly is a time and place to replace them. Symptoms of thermal sensitivity along with pain on biting could signify an internal fracture. If this tooth is supported with a bonded onlay, the tooth can be saved from serious damage, resulting in root canal treatment, crowns or worse, extractions. Here are just a couple examples |
