Metal Mercury-Free White Filling

If you are suffering from the pain and discomfort of tooth decay, or want to get rid of old, worn silver fillings, inlay/onlay (indirect restoration) can be the answer. Inlays or onlays (which are more extensive and cover the cusps of the tooth) require the isolation of each tooth and removal of the old fillings under local anesthesia. An impression is made, and the inlay/onlay is created from porcelain, gold, or composite resin material.

An inlay/onlay looks exactly like the rest of the tooth, and is so durable that it doesn't need to be replaced for years. Also, composite white fillings can be placed on the tooth after removal of the worn metal silver fillings or tooth decay (direct restoration)
