Porcelain Onlays
Porcelain onlays, also known as partial crowns, are useful when there is not enough tooth structure left for a regular filling. And like inlays, they can replace old, gray metal fillings to give a more esthetic look since they are color-matched to the rest of your teeth. (Inlays cover only the biting surface of the tooth whereas onlays cover the biting surface plus more of the tooth).
Here at Dr. Janes’ offices, we have a couple of ways to create customized onlays for you. Depending on your personal situation, Dr. Janes will recommend either a traditional porcelain onlay or a CEREC onlay.
Traditional onlays require two visits – one visit to take a mold of your tooth to send to the dental lab and to create a temporary onlay. During the second visit, the new onlay will be fitted and bonded to your tooth.
With CEREC onlays, all of the work and creation of the onlay occur during one office visit. Dr. Janes can take an optical mold, mill the onlay and bond it to your tooth in about an hour. This amazing dental technology can save a lot of time and headache when you need a restoration right away.
Not all patients are candidates for CEREC onlays, so please contact either our Hannibal or Quincy offices today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Janes. Only he can determine the best course of action for you!

Partial crowns would be beautiful to look at if it matches the color of your other teeth. Vising a Crown and Bridge Specialist isn't bad at all. They know what's best if it comes to dental crowns.
This is a great cosmetic dentist who is very experienced and provides emergency dental care as well.
