Can you tell me more about crowns, onlays, inlays, veneers, and fillings?
To restore teeth many factors must be considered. Including: • The strength needed to properly restore the tooth in order to withstand the forces of your bite. • How long the patient desires the treatment to last i.e. a short term fix vs. a long term solution. • The esthetics (how good does the patient want it to look). We can apply all porcelain, porcelain over gold, or all gold that will protect the tooth and restore it to proper form and function. For large decayed or damaged surface areas, we can apply a protective covering, or onlay, adding strength and preventing decay. If you need fillings, we can use porcelain inlays to strengthen the tooth. And we can restore front teeth to natural shapes by applying paper-thin porcelain veneers.
