The Inlays and Onlays Procedure
Getting Inlays and Onlays at Just Smile Dentistry is a simple and effective process that involves two visits. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:
Consultation and Examination: During your first visit, we’ll evaluate the extent of your tooth damage or decay and discuss whether Inlays and Onlays are the right solution for you. We may take X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth.
Preparation: Once we’ve determined the best treatment, we’ll remove any decayed or damaged areas of your tooth. After cleaning the tooth, we’ll take an impression to create a custom Inlay or Onlay that will fit perfectly and match the color of your natural teeth.
Temporary Filling: While your Inlay or Onlay is being fabricated in a dental lab, we’ll place a temporary filling to protect the tooth.
Placement: During your second visit, we’ll place the custom-made Inlay or Onlay onto your tooth. We’ll ensure a perfect fit, making any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality before permanently bonding it in place.
Why Inlays and Onlays Are a Great Option for Tooth Restoration
When a tooth is damaged or decayed, a simple filling may not be enough to restore its full function and strength. Inlays and Onlays offer a more robust, long-lasting solution that protects the tooth from further damage while improving its appearance. Here’s why Inlays and Onlays are often the preferred choice:
- More Durable than Fillings: Inlays and Onlays are made from durable materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold, which are designed to withstand the pressure of chewing and biting.
- Custom-Fit for a Natural Look: These restorations are custom-crafted to fit the contours of your tooth, providing a seamless, natural-looking result.
- Preserves Tooth Structure: Unlike crowns, which require more removal of the original tooth, Inlays and Onlays preserve more of the healthy tooth structure, making them a more conservative treatment option.
- Long-Lasting: With proper care, Inlays and Onlays can last for many years, offering a durable and reliable solution for damaged teeth.
