Dental Inlays / Onlays
They are porcelain or resin restorations for the back teeth. They are placed instead of a filling (sealing) or a case and are considered the restoration of choice when the damage to the tooth or filling they will replace is extensive. They are manufactured in the laboratory after taking a digital impression and cover the weak points of the tooth, thus protecting the tooth from fracture. They are very aesthetic restorations and durable.
Advantages of Inlays & Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays provide additional strength and support to your affected tooth, allowing your tooth to withstand more pressure when chewing. Dental inlays and onlays can last longer than fillings with proper care. Dental inlays and onlays remove less enamel and preserve more of your natural tooth than a crown. Dental inlays and onlays are designed to match the natural color/shade of your tooth.
Dental inlays and onlays can be completed in just two appointments. Dental inlays and onlays can be used to restore a failed filling.
