Porcelain Inlays/Onlays in Kingston and Napanee

Porcelain inlays and onlays are highly durable restorations and are ideal for restoring and strengthening weakened back teeth. Your local dentists in Kingston and Napanee even offer a great way for patients to restore and protect teeth that have become decayed or that are under a heavier chewing load. Unlike crowns, inlays / onlays don’t cover your entire damaged tooth, so they require less preparation. This is key because it allows more of your natural tooth to be preserved.

Compared to bonded fillings, inlays and onlays are made prior to the bonding process, in the dental laboratory, using the impressions of your teeth, which your local Kingston / Napanee dentist will make. Once the inlay / onlay is ready, it is fitted to your tooth’s structure and bonded using a specialized bonding agent.

Inlays and onlays are constructed from porcelain and are tailored to exactly fit in with the unique shape and shade of your tooth. This makes them highly durable, attractive and natural looking. In fact, no one is likely to even know that you have had dental work done.
