Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
- Durability: Made from strong materials like porcelain or composite resin, lasting longer than regular fillings.
- Aesthetics: Custom-crafted to match the color of your natural teeth.
- Fit and Comfort: Precisely made to fit your tooth with minimal alteration.
- Tooth Preservation: More of the natural tooth structure is preserved compared to crowns.
Inlays vs Onlays
- Inlays: Used to fill the space within the cusps of a tooth.
- Onlays: More extensive, covering one or more cusps or the entire biting surface.
The Procedure
- Initial Visit: We prepare the tooth and take an impression, which is sent to a dental lab.
- Temporary Restoration: A temporary restoration is placed until the inlay or onlay is ready.
- Fitting Appointment: The custom inlay or onlay is securely bonded to the tooth.
- Adjustments: We make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite alignment.
Caring for Your Inlays and Onlays
Maintain them with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, just like your natural teeth.
Who is a Candidate for Inlays and Onlays?
