Onlays

Seamless Smile Rejuvenation

When we consider the options to preserve even a single broken tooth, we take a conservative approach. Fortunately, modern dental materials allow us to rebuild teeth to full function while maintaining as much natural tooth structure as possible.


Whenever possible we love to conserve tooth structure. Often there is too much missing tooth structure to support a bonded filling but enough remaining tooth structure to support a porcelain or gold restoration without filing and encircling all the tooth. In these situations, we can prepare the area surrounding the broken or decayed tooth and bond a high strength porcelain or cement a gold restoration that just replaces the missing piece without compromising the remaining tooth structure. These restorations can be a great option as we always strive to conserve tooth structure.


Inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with the natural enamel and enhance both function and appearance. When the most conservative choice fits your treatment plan, Dr. Swirsky may suggest an inlay or onlay.
