Adhesive dentistry focuses on restoring teeth with strong, tooth-colored materials that bond directly to your enamel or dentin. This technique allows us to reinforce your tooth with minimal drilling, helping you maintain long-term oral health.
The most common treatments include:
Inlays – Custom restorations that fit within the grooves of your tooth, often used when a filling isn’t enough but a crown isn’t necessary.
Onlays – Sometimes called “partial crowns,” onlays extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, providing extra coverage for larger areas of damage.
Composite Fillings – Tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your smile, perfect for small cavities or cosmetic repairs.
Choosing adhesive dentistry comes with several advantages:
Minimally invasive – More of your natural tooth is preserved compared to traditional crowns.
Natural appearance – Restorations are matched to your tooth color for a seamless look.
Strength & durability – Materials bond directly to your tooth, reinforcing its structure.
Versatility – Solutions for everything from small cavities to larger structural damage.
It depends on the size and location of the damage. Small cavities are typically treated with composites, while inlays and onlays are recommended for larger restorations.
With good care, they can last many years—often a decade or more—before needing replacement.
Yes. They are designed to match your teeth in both color and shape.
