Porcelain Onlays: Advanced Tooth Restoration Solution

Extensive tooth restoration that won’t stain or decay

Porcelain onlays are a more extensive tooth restoration which are far stronger than standard white fillings. Onlays are made from ceramic, and won’t stain or decay. They can even increase the strength of your teeth, making them great for those with numerous fillings. They can be prepared and fitted within two weeks, easily blending in with the natural shade of your teeth. After being cemented in place, it is important to maintain your onlays on a regular basis with your Frankston dentist and hygienist to keep them healthy.

Porcelain Onlays would be a good choice for you instead of a crown. To explore the possibility of getting an onlay, schedule a visit with our dentists. Call us or request an appointment online.
