Porcelain Inlays/Onlays

Cover up those unattractive metal fillings

When you smile, your biggest, best smile, what do you see? Do you see those old style amalgam fillings sticking out like a sore thumb, from the back of your mouth? Those dark and metallic looking fillings detract from your smile. You see those large black areas in your mouth but you’re wondering what can be done about it? What can be done to give the appearance of a healthy, natural looking smile?

The answer? If you want to replace your old-style fillings, onlays and inlays are the perfect choice. These “internal crowns,” are constructed from porcelain, they replace decayed tooth tissue while still preserving your healthy mouth tissue. Additionally, they look natural and they are durable and strong.

What's the difference between the two?

Inlays are made of long-lasting, strong and natural-looking materials, such as composite resin or porcelain.
Onlays are used for larger restorations, repairing inside the cusp and extending over one or more sides of the tooth.
Both restoration options are invisible and allow Dentalways to save much more of the healthy tooth.

Porcelain inlay explained

An inlay restoration is a custom made filling. Porcelain inlays are popular because they are similar looking to your natural tooth. A porcelain inlay is constructed in a dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by cosmetic dentist Dr. Khullar.

Inlays are used to repair your teeth if they have a large filling or if it's been damaged by trauma or decay. Inlays are an ideal alternative to standard silver and composite fillings. Because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of inlay, they are also more conservative than crowns. Porcelain inlays are highly durable and will last many years, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.

REASONS FOR INLAY RESTORATIONS

Broken and fractured teeth
Cosmetic enhancement
Decayed teeth
Fractured fillings
Large fillings

Porcelain onlay explained

An onlay is occasionally also referred to as a partial crown. An onlay restoration is a custom made filling. Porcelain onlays are popular because they are similar looking to your natural tooth. A porcelain onlay is constructed in a dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by cosmetic dentist Dr. Khullar.

Onlays are used to repair your teeth if they have a large filling or if it's been damaged by trauma or decay. Onlays are an ideal alternative to crowns (caps) because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of onlays. Onlays are essentially identical to inlays with the exception that one or more of the chewing cusps have also been affected and need to be included in the restoration. Porcelain onlays are highly durable and will last many years, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.

REASONS FOR ONLAY RESTORATIONS

Broken or fractured teeth
Cosmetic enhancement
Decayed teeth
Fractured fillings
Large fillings
Strong, durable, virtually undetectable - a great option

Porcelain inlays and onlays are great aesthetic alternatives to composite fillings. They are strong, durable and are excellent for restoring weakened back teeth. Because they only cover a portion of your tooth, less preparation is required. And the porcelain is customized to your natural tooth shade, making them virtually undetectable. Talk to Dentalways today to find out how inlays and onlays can help restore your smile to a healthy, vibrant state.

I have my swagger back!

My old teeth got worn and flaky. One of my teeth was so fragile, it broke while I was eating pretzels! My new LVI teeth are not only very comfortable they look great. Thanks to Dr. Khullar and his team I have a new smile that not only looks good, but makes me feel confident, assured, and about 10 years younger! Every morning when I look in the mirror I wonder why I didn't do this sooner!

Dr. G.K.

I was always hiding my smile.

When I first came to Dr. Khullar I did not want to smile, my teeth were worn out and I could not chew properly. But Dr. Khullar took care of all my dental problems and now I have the smile I've always wanted and can chew like never before!

Margie M.

I love the fact that Dr. Khullar and his team were persistent with my work until it was perfect and I was totally satisfied. His team is kind, caring, and friendly. I have regained my confidence with the great smile Dr. Khullar has given me. Dr. Khullar truly gave me a Hollywood smile!

Barbara R

Dental work is...dare I say, fun!

The best part of Dr. Khullar's office is the team is always friendly and smiling, they make me feel good about coming in. I have had a couple of crowns now and an inlay. I am 36 and had never taken the nitrous gas. Dr. K always asked if I would like some, but I was nervous about it. I will never have a crown without it again.

I love that because of Dr. K I can joke and have fun while having dental work done! Not to mention my crowns were perfect! I recommend Dr. Khullar to everyone I know.

Lydia H.

The technology used is leading edge.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first walked into Dr. Khullar's office. He uses the latest high tech dental equipment, and he is fully staffed with qualified and friendly people.

On the day Dr. K told me it would take two hours sitting in the dental chair for the first phase of my tooth implant, I told him, no way! But he and his nurse worked in such an expert and gentle manner that I made it through the procedure just fine. The cost was less too. Dr. Khullar has done extensive work on my teeth the past couple of years, and from my point of view, he is among the best dentists to be found anywhere!

Jackie M.

Customer care is their priority.

Dr. Khullar and his team are always very cooperative and helpful in answering my questions. Everyone in his office is always cheerful and friendly. They always remember me from visit to visit!

Janice D.

Friendly, fun staff...

What I like most is their friendly and professional assistance and the manner in which they care for their patients. Most of my visits required lengthy work. Dr. Khullar and his team made me feel very comfortable and at ease and all of my dental work was done with little or no pain or discomfort.

He and his staff are the friendliest and most enjoyable people anyone could be around and this so important in a medical setting.

Rebecca L.

They worked with our insurance company...

Dr. Khullar and his team are friendly and take excellent care of my family's teeth. The office is equipped with the technology needed to stay current with new advances in dentistry. They are local and schedule around our busy lifestyle with a family seven.

Dr. K and his team are very helpful with scheduling what needs to be taken care of first. They have worked hard with us to figure out what insurance would pay and help us figure out payment options. Thank you guys for all your help, our family is pain free and have healthy teeth because of your hard work.

Tonya D.

They accommodated MY schedule.

Dr. Khullar and his team including Lauren , Jeannie and Lori were exceptionally friendly and efficient, which is hard to find these days in doctor offices. During my recent visit they accommodated their schedule to get all my procedures on the same day. Dr. Khullar and his team spends time talking to you and explaining the procedures in detail. I would highly recommend this clinic to all my friends, family and physician peers. Keep up the great work!!

I could relax during my treatment.

Dr. Khullar and his team are so polite and fun to be around, it makes my visit enjoyable and relaxing. My mouth has done a 180 degree turn thanks to Dr. Khullar. He made me feel that every visit and every dollar was worth my wonderful new smile.

My life is much better without the pain of cavities. I feel free from the stress of bad teeth and bad gums. Dr. Khullar is one of my hero's, and his team is so nice and caring!

Jason D.

The team expressed genuine concern.

My last procedure was a root canal and two crowns. I was given plenty of time to relax, and because of the expertise and gentle care from Dr. Khullar and his team I actually slept through the entire procedure! Dr. Khullar stayed after hours to ensure that I was comfortable and answered all my concerns.

I travel an hour round trip to see Dr. Khullar and would encourage anyone else to do the same. His team, especially Jessica and Trish, make everything from insurance to payments to assisting in my dental care a surprisingly pleasant experience.

Theresa C. - Conway, AR

I cannot stop smiling!

My teeth have always been small which made my gums cover about 70% of my smile. For this reason, I have always been self-conscious when smiling. But because of Dr. Khullar’s generosity, kindness, and concern for my feelings he made the “total procedure” possible for me! Dr. Khullar and his team were as concerned and excited about the final outcome of my procedure as I was!

Now everyone tells me what a total difference it has made in my appearance. I cannot thank him and his team enough! He’s a wonderful person and an outstanding dentist. Because of them I cannot stop smiling!
