Amalgam Fillings
Restoring the Natural Tooth
Before
After
Dr. Owens is always in favor of restoring teeth with old amalgam fillings that have cracks on the natural tooth. It’s very common to see teeth that have large amalgam restorations also have fractures on the natural tooth structure. This patient experienced no symptoms whatsoever until the tooth broke. At this point, the options for the tooth are to extract and place an implant or crown, or use the neighboring teeth to make a bridge
Tooth Restoration
Transforming Aesthetic and Function
Before
After
Here we have what seems to be a perfectly healthy tooth without any decay. Luckily for this patient, Dr. Owens was trained to see the early signs of a failing tooth. Upon removal of some tooth structure, we can visibly see the fractures in the tooth starting to extend into the middle of the tooth where the nerve is located. Thankfully, Dr. Owens successfully removed the fractures and restored them with build-up material and the tooth is now ready for a crown.
