Inlays, onlays, and crowns … where can I learn more?

Porcelain crowns and inlays and onlays are some of the techniques we offer to help restore unsightly teeth and improve your smile. For example, composite or porcelain inlays are tooth-colored materials used to fill cavities and protect the tooth against fractures. Large areas of decay or damage can be filled and covered with an onlay made of precious metal composites or porcelain. Porcelain crowns act like a cap to cover the entire tooth. For more information on these and other procedures, please review the patient education on the cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, and general/preventative dentistry pages of this website.
