Fillings and Restorations

Strengthening and protecting teeth while restoring a natural look and feel.

Have your silver fillings replaced with tooth-colored restorations (onlays); this process requires two appointments.

Your First Appointment:

• The old filling is removed along with any additional decay.

• An impression is made of your teeth. A model of your teeth is made and sent to the lab.

• A temporary onlay is placed on the tooth.

At the Lab: A resin is carefully placed into the model of your teeth. It is then designed to look natural.

Your Second Appointment:

• The temporary onlay is removed.

• A conditioning gel is placed on your tooth to prepare it for the new onlay.

• Bonding cement is placed on the tooth and a high intensity light bonds the resin to the tooth.

• The tooth is then polished.
