WHY CHOOSE
INLAYS ONLAYS
ANDDENTAL
A dental onlay or an inlay is a way to give structure back to the tooth without performing a dental implant. Or performing another procedure that might be a bit more invasive.
The inlay or onlay is like a filling. But it is done in a laboratory. Then it is bonded to the tooth instead of the damaged area being removed and filled in the office.
Inlays and onlays do not weaken the structure of the teeth. Over time the teeth will begin to strengthen.
Most people can bear at least 50% more chewing force than before the inlays and onlays were placed.
The inlay is performed when the structure is replaced close to the tips of the tooth.
Damage that is a bit more extensive or requires more of the tooth to be addressed is done with an onlay.
The onlay will usually cover the entire surface area of the tooth instead of only certain parts.
A benefit of the dental inlay is that it doesn't show on the tooth like a filling would.
It is made to look as natural as possible.
This gives you the beautiful smile that you desire. And it usually takes only 1 or 2 visits to the dentist.
The inlays allow you to chew once again without worrying about the tooth breaking.
Inlays can be made of porcelain or resin that is colored to match the shade of the tooth.
This will give as natural of a look as possible so that no one can tell that there is anything there.
Inlays are also sometimes made of gold.
The process of an inlay is often less expensive than a crown. It is another benefit of the procedure for those without dental insurance or those who can't afford significant work done.
“
Most inlays can be placed in one visit unless there are issues with the lab that would cause a delay. The dentist can save more of the tooth with a dental inlay.
An inlay won't expand or contract when you eat something hot or cold. This prevents breaking that might occur with a filling.
The dental onlay is performed when there is more of the chewing surface involved and more damage to the tooth.
Each onlay is made from one of many materials that are available, such as porcelain or resin.
The onlay procedure sometimes takes two visits to the office only because there is more of the tooth that needs to be covered.
Each material has a different color. But the laboratory will get the onlay as close to the natural shade as possible.
The tooth is prepared at the first visit with molds being taken of the teeth to create the onlay.
The second visit is when the onlay is placed. The dentist will examine the bite to ensure that it's natural and fitting in the mouth.
A benefit of the onlay is that you can eat almost anything that you would with your normal tooth without the fear of chipping or breaking.
The onlays are easy to clean and stay true to size on the tooth.
