Fillings, Inlays & Onlays

Do you suspect you have a cavity?

Don’t wait to see a dentist to receive the treatment you need. Left untreated, cavities grow and can significantly erode your dental enamel to the painful stage, or worse yet, lead to tooth loss. At Smile Design Dentistry, we pride ourselves in quality preventive and restorative dental care that is affordable. And, our dentists take time to help patients understand their needs, provide a thorough diagnosis, and inform patients about which of the following treatment options is most appropriate for their oral health circumstances and aesthetic goals.

• Fillings are the most common treatment for small to medium size cavities. Tooth-colored fillings are typically made of dental composite resin.
• Tooth-colored porcelain inlays, which are more stain-resistant and long-lasting, are another option for filling cavities.
• Tooth-colored porcelain onlays, not only fill a cavity but also wrap over one or more cusps of a tooth without fully covering the tooth like a dental crown.

Both dental composite and porcelain come in numerous tooth-colored shades. Your Smile Design dentist will carefully match your filling, inlay or onlay to the natural color of your tooth. Your filling will blend so beautifully that you may forget it is there.
