No More Silver Mouth

Tooth-colored inlays/onlays

Modern dental practice has made noticeable dentistry a thing of the past. One of the ways we’re achieving this is by using natural-looking porcelain, cast glass, or resin inlays and onlays. They function like a crown, but require the removal of less tooth structure, including healthy tooth matter. This means less chance of a root canal for you, and because so much tooth is saved, your future treatment options remain flexible.

Why is this so important? The stresses exerted by daily chewing and grinding eventually wear down teeth, silver mercury fillings, and tooth-colored restorations. Fillings may start to leak around their edges, allowing bacteria into the tooth, resulting in tooth decay if not treated. Continuous biting pressure can also create cracks on surface fillings and crowns. If cracks are not repaired in time, the tooth may break or chip, requiring larger and more expensive restoration. It may even lead to nerve damage and/or tooth loss.

Tooth-colored inlays and onlays are custom designed by our technician using a precise replica of your tooth. They are formed to fit and fill most types of cavities like a puzzle piece. Once glued in they not only seal and strength the tooth but, they look and feel great!

With proper brushing and flossing inlays and onlays can last many years. They are easy to clean, repair, or renew. We recommend them and we welcome your questions.
