Understanding Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations that are used to repair teeth with moderate to significant damage. They are often referred to as “partial crowns” because they cover a portion of the tooth’s chewing surface.

  • Inlays: Inlays are similar to fillings but are custom-made in a dental laboratory and bonded to the tooth. They are used to fill cavities within the cusps (the raised points) of the tooth.
  • Onlays: Onlays are larger than inlays and cover one or more cusps of the tooth. They are often used when the damage extends to the edges of the tooth.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays

1.

Preserves Tooth Structure

Inlays and onlays require less tooth preparation than traditional crowns, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

2.

Durability and Strength

Inlays and onlays are made from strong, durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, making them resistant to wear and tear.

3.

Protects and Strengthens

Inlays and onlays reinforce the damaged tooth, restoring its function and preventing further decay.

4.

Natural Appearance

Inlays and onlays can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

Inlays and onlays have durable longevity, often lasting between 10 to 30 years.

The Treatment Procedure: What to Expect

  • Examination and Preparation: Dr. Nia will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine if an inlay or onlay is the appropriate treatment. The tooth will be prepared by removing any decay or damaged structure.
  • Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-made inlay or onlay.
  • Temporary Restoration: A temporary restoration is placed while your inlay or onlay is being fabricated.
  • Placement: Once the permanent restoration is ready, the temporary is removed, and the inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth.
