Ceramic Inlays/Onlays – The Beauty of Health

Dark metal fillings can cause an otherwise bright smile to look dingy. Conventional "silver" amalgam material can hide decay and weaken the natural tooth. Metal fillings are inserted (plugged in) after the dentist drills away part of the healthy tooth. Over time, a crown may be needed if the drill takes away too much of the natural tooth structure.

Ceramic-type inlays and onlays are bonded to the tooth, or "fused", with minimal removal of healthy tooth. Bonded inlays and onlays can save more of your natural tooth for many years to come.
