Unfortunately, as your teeth are filled and filled again over the years, eventually there won\u2019t be enough tooth structure left to support another filling. When this happens, we recommend using a crown<\/a> or an onlay<\/strong>.\n\nAt Dr. Giamberardino\u2019s<\/a> dental office, sometimes patients ask us about the differences between a crown and an onlay<\/a>. While both of these are great restorative treatments that can return function and appearance to a tooth, they are better for different situations.\n\nA crown <\/strong>is a cap for your tooth and is best suited for restoring teeth with extensive decay. An onlay<\/strong> is a more conservative treatment that\u2019s better suited to a tooth with less decay because it covers a portion of the tooth. Dr. Giamberardino <\/strong>will determine the right solution depending on how much of your natural tooth structure remains.\n\nCrowns<\/strong> and onlays<\/strong> are great solutions for teeth that have become damaged or decayed beyond what can be repaired by a filling. If you have a tooth in need of repair, give us a call today and see how we can help restore your smile.\n\nGiamberardino Dental Care <\/strong>provides quality general and cosmetic dentistry from our Medford, MA dental office.<\/strong> We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, <\/strong>and surrounding communities. Call<\/a> us today to schedule your next appointment.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fillings are a great, simple solution when your tooth is suffering from a cavity.
