Dr. Henry can replace broken, decayed teeth with a conservative all ceramic restoration that requires a minimum amount tooth structure removal. A porcelain inlay or onlay only replaces the damaged portion of a tooth while leaving the remaining portion of the tooth unchanged. If the remaining undamaged portion of the tooth is weakened by a crack or fracture, or there is just too little tooth remaining, an all porcelain crown (a crown with no metal) may be necessary to restore the tooth to proper function and strength. In either case, these restorations look fantastic and are very lifelike looking especially when used in the front of the mouth.
