You lost a filling, chipped your molar, or found out you have a larger-than-normal cavity. What can you do if composite bonding just isn’t enough to fix your tooth but a crown is too much? Ask your Aduddell General Dentistry team in Plano about porcelain inlays and onlays. These beautifully reliable repairs are the perfect solution to fill advanced cavities, repair damage, and strengthen compromised teeth without the investment of a crown.
Inlays cover and support your tooth inside the points or cusps, almost like a filling, but instead of composite material, the repair is made with porcelain.
Onlays cover more tooth surfaces, usually one or more cusps, for a super-strong and secure repair.
Both of these restorations can fill a major cavity, repair broken teeth, or strengthen chipped and weak dentition. They look so natural, feel so good in your smile, and let you function so normally, you may forget which tooth was repaired!
