Crowns, Inlays, and Onlays

Broken, cracked, or severely worn teeth weaken your smile, cause pain, and diminish quality of life. Dr. Lieberman can restore structurally unsound dentition with durable, custom crowns, inlays and onlays.

A crown covers an existing tooth to restore strength and provide protection against future damage. Crowns look and function like natural teeth, fitting comfortably into your existing smile. At Capital Smiles, we use all-ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and gold crowns. Dr. Lieberman considers tooth location and stressors to determine the best material for your custom-made crown.

We may suggest an inlay or onlay for a tooth that doesn’t need a full crown but requires more restoration than a filling provides. An inlay nestles between the bumps on the surface of your chewing teeth, while an onlay covers one or more bumps.

Crowns, inlays, and onlays typically require two visits to design and place. At your initial visit, Dr. Lieberman will examine your teeth, take facial and dental measurements, and fit you with temporaries. He’ll send your data to a trusted lab where a skilled ceramist will hand-produce your custom dental work. We’ll permanently affix your crown, inlay, or onlay to your tooth, restoring appearance and renewing strength.
