Inlay/Onlay Restorations
An Inlay/Onlay is an indirect restoration consisting of a solid substance gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. It is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist.
Inlay/Onlay Restorations
Inlays/Onlays can be utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma.
Inlays/Onlays are an ideal alternative to conventional silver and composite fillings.
Also, they are more conservative than crowns because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of inlays/onlays.
What are Dental Inlays & Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are custom-crafted restorations that fit precisely within or over a damaged tooth, unlike traditional fillings. They are made from durable materials like porcelain or gold, offering several advantages:
- Strength & Durability: Inlays and onlays reinforce the tooth, often lasting 10-30 years compared to 5-7 years for fillings.
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain inlays and onlays blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for a natural-looking smile.
- Improved Function: They restore the original shape and structure of the tooth, allowing you to chew comfortably.
- Preserves Tooth Structure: Inlays and onlays remove minimal healthy tooth structure compared to crowns.
When are Inlays & Onlays Used?
Inlays are ideal for repairing moderate tooth damage to the cusps (raised chewing surfaces). Onlays are used for more extensive damage, covering one or more cusps.
The Inlay & Onlay Process at Horizon Dental Care:
- Consultation: Our dentists discuss your needs and examine your tooth to determine if an inlay or onlay is the right choice.
- Tooth Preparation: We carefully remove any decay or old fillings and prepare the tooth for the restoration.
- Impression & Fabrication: We take an impression of your tooth to create a custom inlay or onlay in a dental lab. A temporary restoration is placed.
- Placement & Bonding: During the second visit, we remove the temporary restoration and carefully bond the inlay or onlay to your tooth for a strong, secure fit.
