When Michael discovered a cracked molar during a routine check, he feared he’d need a full crown. His dentist suggested a more conservative approach—inlays and onlays, which preserve the healthy tooth structure while repairing the damage. Within just two appointments, a custom porcelain inlay was beautifully bonded to Michael’s tooth, blending seamlessly with his natural enamel. The result? A restoration that looks and feels like his original tooth—only stronger. Today, Michael speaks and eats with confidence again, enjoying a durable and natural-looking smile.
