What are Inlays and Onlays
Think of Inlays and Onlays as customized puzzle pieces designed to fit perfectly into your damaged or decayed tooth. They’re made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, providing a precise and long-lasting solution to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance.
Unlike regular fillings, they are custom-made in a lab and then fitted and bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. Inlays fit within the grooves between the tips of a tooth, while onlays cover one or more points or the entire biting surface.
This treatment not only restores the shape and function of the tooth but also strengthens it, preventing further damage. Inlays and onlays are a conservative solution compared to crowns, as they require less removal of the natural tooth structure, and their precise fit and strong material help protect and preserve the tooth.
What to Expect when getting Inlays and Onlays
- You will receive a localized numbing medicine, so you feel no pain.
- The dentist will carefully remove the damaged portion of the tooth.
- Then impressions of your teeth will be taken so that custom, perfectly fitted pieces can be created at a dental lab. Meanwhile, a temporary piece will be applied to your tooth.
- A second appointment will be set for the dentist to fit your custom inlay or onlay to your tooth and bond it there with dental cement.
- Finally, it will be shaped and polished to look like a beautiful natural tooth.
