The patient visited the office for the purpose of replacing an old re-carious white filling. After the removal of the old filling and the removal of the caries, an impression was taken and sent to the dental technician, in order to manufacture an all-ceramic inlay. Because the dental deficit was large, it was decided to restore the tooth with an inlay. The inlay is more durable compared to a white filling, while at the same time the chances of the tooth breaking or the filling coming off are reduced.
The aesthetic result is very good and the patient feels his tooth is highly functional, without any discomfort.
