Crown/Onlay Restorations

Many times when a tooth breaks, a cap or crown is needed to restore your broken tooth back to working condition. Also as large fillings break down, a crown might be recommended to reinforce your tooth. Until recently, porcelain fused to metal was used to mimic a natural tooth. Today all ceramic (porcelain) crowns are used to replace broken or worn teeth. These crowns are as natural as your original teeth. These particular restorations are bonded to your remaining tooth structure and actually strengthen it.

Onlays are fillings that preserve as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible. They are formed out of porcelain and, like crowns, are bonded to the remaining tooth structure. Once these fillings are placed in your mouth, you will notice how natural they look and feel. The aesthetics are fantastic!!

Now we can fabricate a porcelain restoration in one appointment using a CEREC crown or onlay. Ask us if you are a candidate for this option
