What can a ceramic inlay or onlay involve?

A ceramic restoration may be an inlay or onlay made from glass ceramic; the quote changes with surfaces involved, scans, temporary work, and whether a crown is required.

How can you compare ceramic restoration quotes?

Compare written quotes for material, scans, laboratory work, anaesthetic, temporary restoration, fitting, adjustments, and follow-up.

When does a damaged ceramic restoration need care?

See a dentist for a broken restoration, trapped food, or persistent cold or biting pain because the required repair can change.

What should you ask about a ceramic restoration?

Ask why ceramic is recommended, how much tooth is removed, what each quote includes, and what happens if the tooth needs a crown.
