When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling—but not lost—we restore it with high-performance ceramic restorations designed to rebuild strength, function, and longevity.
At BioDent Smile, we use minimally invasive, adhesive dentistry principles to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while delivering durable, aesthetic results.
The Right Restoration for the Right Situation
Not every damaged tooth needs a full crown.
We select the most conservative option that will restore strength without over-treating.
Inlays
Targeted Restoration Within the Tooth
Inlays are used when damage is confined to the inner portion of the tooth (between the cusps).
- Ideal for moderate decay or damage
- Preserves outer tooth structure
- Custom-fabricated for precise fit
- Stronger and more durable than large fillings
Onlays
Partial Coverage for Added Strength
Onlays extend beyond the center of the tooth and cover one or more cusps.
- Reinforces weakened tooth structure
- Distributes bite forces more evenly
- Avoids the need for a full crown in many cases
Overlays
Full Surface Protection Without Full Reduction
Overlays cover most or all of the chewing surface while preserving more natural tooth compared to a traditional crown.
- Ideal for worn or structurally compromised teeth
- Conservative alternative to crowns
- Maintains more natural tooth integrity
Crowns
Full Coverage for Severely Compromised Teeth
When a tooth is significantly weakened, fractured, or heavily restored, a crown may be necessary.
- Encases and protects the entire tooth
- Restores full function and strength
- Used for advanced damage or post-root canal cases
Our Philosophy: Preserve First, Restore Second
Many practices default to crowns. We don’t.
Our decision-making is based on:
- Remaining tooth structure
- Bite forces and function
- Long-term prognosis
Whenever possible, we choose inlays, onlays, or overlays to avoid unnecessary reduction.
Materials That Perform
We use high-strength, metal-free ceramic materials that offer:
- Excellent durability under bite pressure
- Natural translucency and aesthetics
- Biocompatibility (no metal)
- Long-term stability
These restorations are designed to integrate seamlessly with your tooth and your bite.
Technology-Driven Precision
Your restoration is not guesswork—it’s engineered.
We use:
- Digital scanning (no messy impressions)
- CAD/CAM design for precision fit
- Bite analysis to ensure proper force distribution
- Laser-assisted preparation when indicated
This results in better fit, better function, and longer-lasting outcomes.
Same-Day Options Available
With advanced digital technology, many restorations can be completed in a single visit.
- No temporary restorations
- No multiple appointments
- Immediate results
Efficiency without compromising quality.
Why This Matters
Poorly designed restorations fail due to:
- Improper bite forces
- Excessive removal of tooth structure
- Weak materials
- Poor marginal fit
We eliminate these variables with data-driven planning and controlled execution.
Built for Long-Term Success
Every restoration is designed to be:
- Structurally sound
- Functionally balanced
- Aesthetically natural
- Biologically compatible
Because restoring a tooth is not just about fixing damage—it’s about preventing future failure.
Restore Your Teeth the Right Way
If you’ve been told you need a crown, it’s worth evaluating whether a more conservative option is possible.
