Tooth coloured or amalgam fillings fill holes in the teeth but there is no firm bond between the filling and the remaining dentine or dentine? So, over time, the natural tooth beside the filling slowly chips away. A new replacement filling requires a little bit more tooth to be removed to provide ‘a key’ to hold it in. In time, the same process repeats itself, followed by a large filling again. Next, the whole corner fractures of the tooth with an even bigger filling needed. Eventually a crown becomes necessary with removal of the outsides of tooth, which are usually the best of the remaining natural tooth substance Many people have ‘a heavy bite’, very destructive to teeth and which simply accelerates the damage.
A Cerec all Porcelain Inlay is the answer. Cerec design is very different bonding powerfully with enamel and dentine much stronger so much more like the original natural tooth. Cerec is the best you can give to all those heavily filled teeth at the back.
