When you get a toothache, you might have a cracked tooth. For a tooth that is cracked or damaged, a crown offers protection and preservation. When a filling won't provide adequate repair for a large area of tooth decay, Dr. Myles might suggest an onlay or inlay. These restorations are created from porcelain or processed composite.
If you need a crown, inlay, or onlay, your first visit with us will involve preparing your tooth, making an impression for the dental lab, and affixing a temporary restoration. Dr. Myles works with an American-based dental laboratory that uses durable, safe materials. After your crown, inlay, or onlay is ready, you'll return to our office for permanent placement. Dr. Myles will shape and polish your new restoration so that it looks and feels natural.
