Bonding was in its infancy and bond strengths were meager by todays standards. The composite was grainy, discolored badly and was not approved for back teeth. All porcelain crowns back then were fragile and were easily broken. Over the years I have seen materials and techniques improve to the point that I am now willing to fully endorse metal free, all ceramic dentistry. Dental porcelains are incredibly strong.
Bond strengths are impressive.
In fact, I have placed all ceramic veneers, caps and crowns on all of my wife's front teeth and several of her back teeth as well. Today, I have the tools and skills necessary to renew, revitalize and beautify your smile, and your back teeth too. The need for metal reinforcement has been all but eliminated, especially for front teeth, so I can now promise vital, natural looking veneers, crowns and fixed bridges with none of the ugly black lines at the gum line. And, with proper maintenance, I can also promise lasting results. I have before and after photographs of my cases for your viewing.
