Inlays & Onlays
Did you know that metal fillings expand and contract with fluctuating temperatures? This means that every time you drink hot coffee or indulge in ice cream, the metal fillings in your mouth move slightly to let in bacteria. Inlays and onlays treatments can be used in place of traditional metal fillings. Our Grand Rapids dentist cares about your oral health, which is why he offers porcelain inlays and onlays.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Inlays and onlays are a more conservative treatment because less tooth material is removed. Unlike fillings, onlay and inlay procedures strengthen a tooth’s structure and leave your smile whiter and healthier than ever before. An inlay and onlay provide strength, durability, protection, and brilliance. This defines porcelain inlays and onlays. Keeping your teeth free from decay and your smile beautifully white is our focus.
Inlays and onlays are indirect fillings because they are created in a lab to match the natural contours of your teeth. Direct fillings, on the other hand, are applied directly to the tooth and shaped to fit. The dental onlay procedure ensures a perfect fit. Our Grand Rapids dentist can help you determine what dental restoration is most appropriate for your smile.
