Problem: this young lady needed removal of this old amalgam, which had a deep cavity underneath it. Many people don’t know that amalgam actually doesn’t adhere to tooth structure.
Situation: we placed a light-curable liner to protect the nerve after removing all the decay.
Solution: using multiple layers of composite beautifully sculpted with a light honey yellow tint in the fissures, we were able to make this tooth look like it had never been touched. One happy patient!
