Ceramic Inlay / Onlay:

Ceramic Inlay / Onlay is often used to repair the damage that involve over the biting surface of a tooth rather than using simple filling or crown. Inlay / Onlay can be porcelain, gold, or composite resin cast sections that are bonded to the damaged area of a tooth.

Inlay is similar to the fillings and lie inside the cusp tips of the tooth; Onlay is a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth.

We use either gold or Empress Porcelain Inlay / Onlay.

Porcelain is now becoming the material of choice because of its strength and potential to match the natural color of your tooth.

Tooth Colored Filling:

Tooth colored fillings can be used to repair problems with either front or back teeth. Most of the materials for these white fillings are made of resin. In front teeth, these fillings are used to repair dental decay, erosion or abrasion problems. In back teeth, white fillings can be used to repair small decay or erosion problems, or replace the silver fillings to looks just as if the tooth had no filling at all. For more severe problems, these fillings may not be the best solution, and we may need to use ceramic inlays / onlays, ceramic crowns or crowns. These fillings can sometimes be used to repair “sensitive tooth.

Teeth cleaning or scaling:

Teeth cleaning or teeth scaling is the removal of dental plaque from teeth, in order to prevent cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontitis. A dentist recommends having teeth cleaning or scaling done at least once a year.
