Tooth Fillings
If you do not like the look of your existing silver fillings, or are concerned about mercury content, Porcelain inlays and Tooth Colored Restorations (onlays) create fillings that are not only beautiful (or unnoticeable) but also add strength to weakened teeth. These restorations are esthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.
Advantages of Tooth-Colored Restorations
There are many advantages to tooth-colored restorations. Resin onlays are bonded to the teeth creating a tight, superior fit to the natural tooth. Such restorations can be used in instances where much of the tooth structure has been lost. The tooth remains intact and stronger. Some insurance companies consider tooth-colored restorations on back teeth, cosmetic. Please inquire with a staff member about what your financial responsibility will be for this procedure if you are interested.
