Case: 15683
Inlays and Onlays
60 year old, Female, Medium skin tone
Often, with only the slightest symptoms, it is possible and even probable to overlook what is actually happening. The 10-20 year old silver filling gradually causes microfractures in the tooth's enamel. Fluctuation of temperature from hot to cold has different effects on different materials, ie. silver fillings and enamel.These changes promote tooth fractures. Here, we replaced the silver filling with a bonded onlay. This white restoration will support the tooth because it is bonded. It will provide a long lasting comfortable restoration.

Details: The transitions of the bonded onlay to the natural tooth structure are flawless. This white restoration is in lieu of a white filling or a porcelain crown. The white filling is not as strong and has more shrinkage due to its physical properties and the crown is too aggressive in removing healthy tooth structure. Thus, the bonded onlay is perfect. What a beautiful result! |
