Porcelain Inlays and Onlays
Sometimes, in order to better repair a tooth, a larger restoration is needed. Porcelain inlays and onlays are appealing restorations designed to repair large cavities beautifully. An inlay or onlay is custom-designed and shaped to recreate the ideal natural structure of a tooth. Bonded into place, rather than mechanically held, a porcelain inlay or onlay provides long lasting function and beauty. Inlays and onlays lie between fillings and crowns. Though they do not fully cover a tooth like a crown does, they restore a larger portion of the chewing surface of a tooth than a standard filling does. Composite fillings are made from moldable resin material. This material is placed into the cavity after all damaged tooth material has been removed. The material is hardened, or cured, with a special light. Porcelain inlays and onlays are custom-made inserts crafted of hard porcelain material. Cemented into place, an inlay or onlay restores a large portion of damaged tooth structure, preventing further damage. An inlay or onlay is intended to stabilize the remaining tooth structure and function like the natural tooth for biting and chewing. Composite fillings and porcelain inlays and onlays also differ in their manufacturing process. Composite fillings, considered direct restorations, are molded to the tooth directly. Porcelain inlays and onlays, considered indirect restorations, are designed and made in a dental lab and placed in a subsequent visit. We provide care to the individual. It is our practice to listen to the needs and concerns of our patients and act accordingly. Offering porcelain inlays and onlays better enables us to meet the needs of our patients.

I had previous dental work done and teeth were in terrible shape. The staff at this office were kind and helped me through the whole process. I had a root canal, which wasn't painful at all. Just minor discomfort, which I expected and two crowns put in for a great price..my teeth look amazing!

Amazing! I got a much needed root canal and deep cleaning done two weeks ago and have had little to no pain. The procedure was also pretty painless. Just don't be afraid to ask for more anesthesia! I got my crown put in today and the rest of the deep cleaning and I'm in love with my smile.

I found A-Dental Center after I found out the first dentist I went to would have me maxing out my insurance coverage after a cleaning and one periodontal procedure. My husband recommended them and I'm so happy that I found them. The front desk staff is amazing!
