Crowns, Veneers, Onlays, and Inlays; how can I learn more about these procedures?
With today’s technology, materials, and advanced techniques, we have many options for restoring weak, broken, chipped, discolored, and/or missing teeth bringing your smile back to its original shape and function. For example, we can apply an all -porcelain crown, somewhat like a ‘cap’, to cover the entire outside of the problem tooth. Crowns are also helpful to cover large areas of decay after they’ve been filled. Or, for smaller areas of decay, we can apply all – porcelain onlays or inlays similar to crowns, but retaining more natural tooth structure. For unattractive front teeth, we can create pretty, natural shapes and shades by applying paper – thin porcelain veneers to the fronts.
