Inlays and Onlays

Both inlays and onlays are considered indirect fillings. Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays are fabricated outside the mouth before they are bonded to the damaged tooth. The use of an inlay or onlay allows us to preserve more of your natural tooth. These restorations are better than normal fillings because they are stronger and can be made to protect the remaining tooth.

Dental Crowns

A tooth ‘cap’ for decayed, fractured, worn-down teeth or used as part of smile make-over or major teeth alignment.

How is a CEREC restoration created?

The system uses 3D photography to take a photo of the tooth. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology is then used to create a virtual design model of the restoration, without the need to take impressions. The data for the model is then electronically sent to our on-site milling machine, where CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology is used to fabricate the restoration out of ceramic material.

This is all completed whilst you are comfortably sitting on the dental chair.
