Cosmetic Dentistry (inlays, onlays, bonding)

In addition to veneers, teeth whitening, and tooth replacements; cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of other treatments to improve a patient’s smile. At Smyrna Dental & Headache Center, we also offer inlays, onlays, and dental bonding to enhance teeth.

Inlays

Inlays are porcelain restorations that are used to fill areas of a tooth after decay. They are made to fit precisely into an area of a tooth, and are bonded in place. When composite filling will not be sufficient to restore a tooth after cavities have occurred, inlays may be fabricated to fit in place and seal off the tooth.

Onlays

Onlays are similar to inlays but are made to go over a tooth instead of inside it. Unlike crowns, they are not full restorations, but partials. They are used in instances where teeth are cracked or chipped, and can provide aesthetic changes to a tooth.

Dental Bonding

Bonding is a simple treatment that is used to change the shape, size, or appearance of a tooth. The composite material is applied and shaped into the tooth, hardened with a special light, and then polished. This treatment is often considered as an alternative to porcelain veneers. Bonding is not as long lasting as veneers or other restorations, but they are an economical option for addressing cosmetic imperfections.
