When Are Dental Inlays and Onlays Recommended?
These restorations are typically recommended when:
- A Cavity is Too Large for a Standard Filling: In cases where the cavity is too extensive for a regular filling but not extensive enough to require a crown, dental inlays can be an ideal solution.
- To Restore Damaged Teeth: Dental inlays and onlays are an excellent option for restoring teeth that have sustained moderate to severe damage, helping to preserve the natural tooth structure.
- To Replace Old Fillings: When old fillings need to be replaced, inlays and onlays can be a more robust and aesthetically pleasing choice.
The Dental Inlay and Onlay Procedure
The process of getting a dental inlay or onlay typically involves two appointments:
FIRST APPOINTMENT
- Examination: Dr. Neethu Nanda will thoroughly examine the tooth to determine the extent of damage or decay and whether an inlay or onlay is the most suitable option.
- Tooth Preparation: The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
- Impression: An impression of the prepared tooth is taken to ensure the inlay or onlay is custom-made to fit precisely.
- Temporary Restoration: A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth until the next appointment.
SECOND APPOINTMENT
- Fitting: The custom-made inlay or onlay is fitted and checked for proper alignment and bite.
- Bonding: Once the fit is verified, the inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth using a strong adhesive.
- Polishing: The restoration is polished to ensure a seamless blend with the natural tooth.
The Benefits of Dental Inlays and Onlays
- Conservative Approach: Inlays and onlays preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to crowns, making them an excellent choice for maintaining dental health.
- Aesthetics: These restorations are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and attractive result.
- Durability: Dental inlays and onlays are highly durable and can last for many years, providing long-lasting support to the damaged tooth.
