When Dr. David Rice of David A. Rice, DDS in Elgin repairs a tooth that has decay or damage, the procedure chosen often depends on the location of the problem. We’re talking tooth-specific locale here.
If there is a chip, crack, or tooth decay on the biting surface of a tooth, an onlay or inlay is often created to restore the tooth.
Inlays and onlays are a type of tooth restoration used successfully at David A. Rice, DDS. They are usually bigger than a conventional filling yet smaller than a complete crown. An inlay is used to fill an area inside the cusp tips or bumps of a tooth. An onlay covers an area that includes more than one cusp.
At David A. Rice, DDS, the inlays and onlays we place for our patients are indistinguishable from their natural teeth. Dr. David Rice has a finely honed eye for detail and a complete mastery of dental aesthetics to design the restoration and create an exact match.
David A. Rice, DDS inlays and onlays:
- Are stain resistant
- Do not lead to tooth sensitivity
- Are beautifully matched to natural teeth
- Strengthen the tooth and safeguard against further decay or deterioration
