Inlays & Onlays – Juno Beach, FL
Conservative Smile Restoration Options
When damage has occurred – extensive decay, a broken tooth, a chip – you want to have the tooth restored to full form and function. Crowns, inlays, and onlays might be used in a number of different circumstances, always with the goal of rebuilding optimum oral health in mind.
Dental Crowns
A crown essentially looks like a whole tooth, and it is placed over your existing tooth when problems have caused damage. If a tooth breaks, a crown can make that tooth whole again. If a cavity becomes so large that a filling just won’t do the trick, a crown can be employed to strengthen the tooth and stop decay. While crowns come in a variety of materials, including gold, porcelain, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, we prefer to use crowns with a porcelain finish. Why? Porcelain provides the highest quality results for your smile, strengthening not only your oral health but your confidence in your smile as well.
Inlays & Onlays
An inlay or onlay can be thought of as a partial crown, filling in the portion of the tooth that has incurred the damage without covering the entire tooth. A large cavity could be taken care of with a porcelain inlay, or damage to the front of a molar could be fixed with a porcelain onlay. Not sure which your smile needs? We can help design a treatment plan for you to determine whether a crown, inlay, or onlay will be the best solution to your specific smile problem.
