Are porcelain restorations that only partially cover posterior teeth thus conservatively preserving natural tooth structure. These restorations are bonded to the teeth and offer greater strength and durability than resin restorations. These are ideally made to replace large silver or white fillings.

CEREC “one visit” inlays and onlays eliminate the step requiring an impression that is sent to the lab and a temporary crown made. CEREC CAD-CAM computer technology mills the porcelain restoration in the office while you wait.

Advantages:

• Superior strength and durability to resin
• Does not stain or discolor with time
• Blends seamlessly to surrounding tooth
• Preserves more natural tooth than a crown
• Can be completed in one visit with CEREC
