Dental
Inlays/Onlays/Overlays
Inlays / Onlays / Overlays are all
basically the same - the prefix of the word
describes its position on the
tooth
"in", "on" or
"over"

WHAT ARE FISSURE
SEALANTS?
Dental
inlays / onlays / overlays
replace a part of the tooth,
which has been lost, without
unduly having to cut away other
unaffected parts of the
tooth. Traditional
metal
fillings make use
of an undercut that that helps
keeping the filling in the
tooth to aid in retention. In
doing so, the tooth's structure
is unnecessary lost and cracks
normally appear after a few
years. These teeth also take on
a
"blue-ish"
appearance that is
aesthetically
unpleasing.

costly than other alternatives, but this
is the truly long term solution. The

further treatment for years to come, making
this procedure truly a long-term investment
that also looks 100% natural!

appointments at the dentist to fit a
porcelain inlay / onlay /
overlay. By using our new state
