Inlays/Onlays

Inlays/Onlays

There are several ways to restore the health of your smile.  While fillings and crowns are both very effective, sometimes a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide, but doesn’t quite need a full crown.  In these cases, inlays and onlays are the perfect restorative solution.  We work hard to provide our patients with beautiful inlays and onlays that improve the health and beauty of your smile.

Inlays and onlays are sometimes referred to as partial crowns.  They cover just a portion of your tooth and require less preparation time.  At Orland Dental Wellness Center, we want to make sure that all of our patients are happy with their smile restorations.  If you need to restore a cracked, chipped or decayed tooth, we encourage you to contact our practice.  During a consultation, we can determine if inlays and onlays are the right restorative choice for your oral health needs.

White Fillings

White Fillings

While metal amalgam fillings were once the norm for fixing cavities and the effects of tooth decay, dental offices like ours now offer a better solution. White fillings are comprised of specialized dental resin rather than metal.  As a result they look more natural on the surface of the tooth, they don’t expand or contact with temperature changes, and they don’t cause tooth sensitivity that can occur after filling a tooth with metal amalgam.

White fillings are also an excellent way to update old amalgam fillings that are creating sensitivity issues or compromising the aesthetic appearance of your smile.  To learn more about the process of placing white fillings and to find out if they’re right for you, give us a call at 708-460-6666.
