How To Have A Smile You Can Be Proud Of

If you have one or more teeth that are decayed or damaged, you may not be smiling as much or may feel self-conscious about your smile. One way to enhance your smile and create one that you can be proud of is to restore your teeth with porcelain inlays and onlays. This is a technique which easily improves the look, function, beauty, and health of your grin.
Porcelain inlays and onlays are partial crowns which resemble dental fillings. Unlike dental fillings however, which are created from composite resins, inlays and onlays are crafted from porcelain.

Uses of Inlays/Onlays
Inlays and onlays can all be used to restore any decayed or damaged teeth you may have. 

Here is the difference between the two:
·                  Inlays - used when damage excludes the cusp of the tooth
·                  Onlays - repairs damage that extends to the cusps of the tooth

Our Chesapeake cosmetic dentist, Dr. Michael Folck starts by first gently removing any tooth that has damage or decay, cleaning it thoroughly, and then bonding your porcelain inlay or onlay on to the tooth.  

For more information about how inlays and onlays can improve your smile, please contact Dr. Michael Folck, DDS today. Or, call 757.428.7440 for your initial consultation.
