At Border Country Dental, we use tooth-coloured fillings, inlays, and onlays to repair teeth affected by decay, fractures, and minor damage.
Composite Fillings
At Border Country Dental, we use white composite resin fillings to restore decayed areas of a tooth or help enhance the appearance of your smile by altering the shape or colour of the tooth. Your dentist will use techniques to custom-blend each filling to the colour of existing teeth.
Inlays
Inlays are predominantly used for larger restorations that fill the space between the rounded edges, or cusps, at the centre of a tooth's surface. Aesthetic inlays can be made from either composite resin or porcelain. Replacing silver fillings with aesthetic inlays helps enhance the appearance of your smile.
Onlays
Onlays cover one or more cusps on a damaged tooth. Offering an alternative where a full dental crown may be used. With proper care, onlays may last for decades and can be more resilient than your standard filling.
