A common problem and a great solution in CEREC! Amalgam fillings, even small ones, expand and contract over time and cause weaker parts of the healthy tooth to crack, like an eggshell.
These cracks can often only be detected by us dentists using techniques such as "transillumiation" (shining a light through the tooth) or a crack tester whcih puts pressure on an exact spot on the tooth.
Cracked teeth often give you a sudden, very short pain when you bite on them. In this case, the cusp of the tooth has collapsed.
CEREC not only replaces the missed piece but RESTORES the tooth, giving it extra strength. We put a 10 year antibreakage guarantee on our CEREC work.
