Porcelain Inlays and Onlays

Many patients desire to enhance their natural smiles with a variety of cosmetic dental treatments, including teeth-whitening, porcelain veneers, porcelain inlays/onlays, porcelain crowns and full mouth reconstruction.

Porcelain inlays and onlays are porcelain restorations used to restore teeth that have lost a large amount of structure.  Our focus on aesthetic, or cosmetic dentistry, is part of your overall dental health treatment plan.  Onlays and inlays are white in color and are stronger than conventional fillings and more conservative than crowns.  The entire restorative procedure is done over 2 appointments of approximately one and a half hours each.

The first visit is to excavate all the decayed tooth structure, prepare, impress and put a temporary restoration in the tooth.  The second visit is when the inlay/onlay is inserted.
