If you have a large area of decay in your tooth, the doctors prefer to try to conserve the tooth structure by doing porcelain onlays whenever possible. Onlays cover one or more of the cusps (bumps) in your tooth. Onlays, which are bonded into place, strengthen the tooth and keep it looking natural. Gum tissue stays healthier around onlays, too, particularly when compared to a crown that uses metal parts.
We use strong, tooth-colored porcelain for our onlays, inlays and crowns. Porcelain material closely matches the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates so your tooth does not crack.

It's like going to see friends who can glean and fix your teeth! The office has such a great energy. Dr. Ehman has an amazing way about her. Lynn the hygienist is absolutely the best. We're lucky to have this practice in Annapolis!

Alexis, Dr. Ehmann's office manager, was so helpful getting me an emergency appointment when I cracked a molar. We just moved to town, didn't have a regular dentist and was frantic. After doing an X-ray Dr Ehmann saw the crack and decided to go slow cementing it instead of sending me to an oral surgeon. The repair may not hold but she was willing to try something out of the box first. I appreciated how she explained ever step of the process and she's funny as well. Will definitely go back and highly recommend her and her staff.

Hands down the best dentist in the country. Talented, patient, and detailed- your teeth are important, visit a dentist who shares that value. At the end of the day their goal is to make sure your teeth are healthy and beautiful and you feel that in each visit! 10/10

I have been a client at this practice for about 5 years now, after leaving the replacement for my dearly loved dentist who retired. The team has helped me to align my bottom teeth when I wasn't sure. Glad I did it! The ladies have been friendly and fun, while at the same time being totally professional. Dr. Ehman and her team helped me to nurse along a tooth for about two years, but when I started having real pain, they immediately made an appointment available to me and made it possible for me to get out of pain.

I'm not a fan of dental procedures but this dentist and her staff we're incredible at putting me at ease. They aren't just reactive to dental issues or needs they are proactive in creating comprehensive dental plans to ensure good dental hygiene. They are way more than five stars, I highly recommend this practice!
