Inlays Onlays and Crowns

Excellent Dentistry Provided by Compassionate Professionals

Sometimes a damaged tooth may not be able to be restored with a filling alone. The larger a defect becomes, stresses become greater between the tooth, restoration and the bond. This can result in early failure or complications or pain. In some cases, the tooth must be restored with a different approach using inlays, onlays, veneers or full crowns. Dr. Oxley is committed to providing the most conservative solution that restores the tooth back to function and a natural look. A crack in a tooth usually does not warrant a complete crown, especially in the age of modern materials and adhesive (bonding) dentistry.

Indications for Inlays, Onlays, and Crowns:

Inlay:
- Suited for addressing small to moderate cavities or cracks.
- Specifically designed for decay or damage within the cusps.
- Ideal for restoring the chewing surface of a tooth.
Onlay:

- Addresses cases where one or more cusps are affected.
- Comprehensive restoration covering the chewing surface and extending to the sides.
Crown:
- Reserved for cases of extensive damage or decay.
- Post root canal treatment.
- Strengthening a weakened tooth.
- Cosmetic enhancements or large fractures.

  Aside from floss fetishists or masochists with insurance, nobody “wants” to go to the dentist. But Dr. Oxley and his staff make each visit feel like a break from life. The office is clean, warm & welcoming, the staff all have great personalities, there’s a sweetheart little pug to pet on, they have the latest dental technology (seriously cool toys) and they offer several “spa” amenities for free!! Grab an espresso, water or maybe an essential oils infused hot towel!!!

Dr. Oxley is the exact opposite of the typical physician. He is genuinely personable and easy to talk to, doesn’t rush you out the door, he takes real one-on-one time, explains everything, answers all of our questions (even dumb ones) and treats you like a human, not a chart. Skilled, straightforward, and real. My wife & 3 daughters have been to a couple of prominent “big name” dentist’s in New Bern & Morehead. Dr. Oxley & crew are on a whole other level & there’s just no comparison. I will never go to another dentist in this area and cannot give Dr Oxley anything but my highest recommendation.
