Dr. Johnson's signature custom ceramic onlays are far
stronger than fillings and preserve more of your own
natural tooth than a crown. We'd love to show you the
difference our advanced dentistry can make in your life.
Every day we see patients with tooth aches and broken teeth caused by silver fillings that have expanded with temperature and time, similar to mercury in old thermometers. These teeth now require crowns, root canals, or worse yet, extractions. Frequently, there's decay under the fillings due to the fact that they were done before recent advances in caries (decay) detectors and bonded restorations to seal out the decay from forming at the margins.
In the past, replacing silver fillings consisted of lab fabricated restorations, entailing excessive tooth removal, impressions, temporaries, and typically, at least two appointments. Now, by combining oldstyle care with contemporary technology, we can save teeth, remove these mercury fillings and fix the broken teeth in just one appointment with Cerec technology.
