So you may remember, although most likely not, that in 2006 I had some fillings done and frankly regretted it. I found the composite fillings really rough and hard to bear and the guy who treated me put in a glass ionomer filling that was really rough with out explaining this was different from composite fillings. So I got a new dentist who polished the fillings as much as he could ... but frankly I was never happy with the texture even to this day. In fact it feels like its gradually grown rough again. ... So I've recently been told I need a tooth either pulled or root canaled. Either way they'd want to replace it with ceramic either a cap or a ceramic implant. ... that's the thing. How smooth can ceramic be? My dentist told me if you get cast ceramic it can get quite smooth but remember I am still annoyed by these composite fillings. Can these ceramics emulate the glassy smooth surface of natural tooth or are they grainy as I'm told porcelain veneers are? What about gold, is a cast ceramic smoother or rougher than a good gold crown?
Has any one here had a ceramic crown, was it a cast one? Have you has composite fillings too? How do they compare? Any one tried gold? I'm more interested in the comparison between materials (and tooth) than how happy you personally are with them? After all I apparently have some sort of hyper sensitive tongue.
If I can't find a good material I'm seriously considering just having it pulled and a gap left.
