Restorations

Regular check ups and cleanings can help ensure the health of your teeth.  Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to repair damaged teeth.  These repairs usually fall into one of three categories: fillings, onlays, and crowns.

FILLINGS

For repair of a small area of a tooth, a filling is normally recommended.  After Dr. Wondra removes the decay from the tooth, something must be placed into the tooth to give it back it’s strength. He uses a tooth colored restoration.

ONLAYS

If more than 50% of the tooth’s biting surface is damaged, Dr. Wondra will consider a Onlay.  They are designed in ceramic or porcelain.   

Ceramic and porcelain onlays can be performed in one visit.

CROWNS

When the majority of the upper tooth has been damaged and needs to be replaced, a crown may be in order. Dr. Wondra offers crowns in ceramic or gold.

The ceramic crowns are designed and applied in a single visit using the advanced Cerec system.  This dynamic software takes the guesswork out of crown design.  They are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth and the bonding process provides a superior bond to your teeth.  It is metal-free for patients with metal sensitivities.

The gold crowns are appropriate when appearance is not a priority. The gold metal is malleable making them fit precisely.  There exists a slight possibility (around 1 in 100) of chipping with porcelain crowns but gold will not chip.

LASERS

Lasers aren’t just for Star Wars. Dr. Wondra also uses them in his fight to give you a bright beautiful smile. 

By using the SmilePro Laser, he can perform many procedures on soft tissue pain-free (with no anesthesia) while minimizing post operative swelling and discomfort
