Problem: Tooth decay and weakened tooth structure require reinforcement and restoration.
Solution: After removing the decay, we take an impression of the affected area to create a custom inlay or onlay. A dental lab crafts the restoration, typically using gold or porcelain, for a precise fit. Inlays cover one or more tooth surfaces, while onlays restore the chewing surface. Once ready, we securely bond the inlay or onlay to the tooth, creating a durable, long-lasting repair. Porcelain remains the top choice for its strength and ability to blend with natural teeth.
Alternatives
When decay reaches an advanced stage, a crown may be the best option for full tooth coverage and protection.
