Covering a post.

I have a seven unit anterior to do. No.7 happens to be a post. And of course the shade is B1. Anyways has anyone tried pressing a thin coping out of an MO or HO pellet to help mask the post ? Pretty much just making a telescopic crown over it? Thoughts ? Thanks

can you opaque the post?

No, The post was put in some years ago. Thanks

You could block out the #7 die heavily and press everything with the same ingot. When your done with case use light cure opaque that matches the stumph shade (GC Gradia) on the inside of crown. Just make sure the Dr uses self curing cement when delivering. This has saved me many of headaches trying to deal with one HO0 coping in the middle of more translucent ones.
If you have tons of room what you suggested would work but would take .5mm or more in thickness to mask it completely.

I'd use the HO but don't make it too thin.
