CEREC (all porcelain) Inlays/Onlays

CEREC Inlays and onlays are used to replace your silver fillings. These restorations are made from porcelain. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth, and they conserve much of your natural tooth structure.
At our dental office, you have very natural-looking options when you need to repair or restore a damaged tooth.
A CEREC inlay/onlay looks exactly like the rest of the tooth, and is so durable that it doesn't need to be replaced for years. They are used in cosmetic dentistry to repair the biting surfaces of teeth. CEREC Onlays and inlays are commonly used when:

• an old dental restoration has weakened a tooth
• over 1/2 of the tooth’s biting surface is damaged  

Once placed, they are virtually undetectable in the mouth, and they conserve much of your natural tooth structure. A CEREC inlay is placed just inside the cusp of the tooth. A CEREC onlay works the same way, only it covers a greater tooth area. The CEREC  onlay is the best alternative for covering larger surface restorations. Both  CEREC onlays and inlays require less tooth reduction than a crown.
