What are dental inlays?

+
-

A dental inlay is a type of restorative dental procedure involving the placement of a pre-molded filling within the grooved area of a tooth, without extending over its edges.

This treatment is typically utilized to repair teeth damaged by decay or injury while preserving the natural structure and appearance of the tooth. Dental inlays are custom-made to match the color and shape of the patient’s tooth, providing a seamless and durable restoration solution.

How do dental inlays differ from fillings or onlays?

+
-

Dental inlays differ from fillings in that they are specifically designed to address decay or damage within the grooved area of a tooth without extending over its edges. On the other hand, dental onlays are utilized when the damage extends to the biting surface or edges of the tooth.

While both procedures involve numbing the area, cleaning out decay, and taking impressions, onlays cover a larger portion of the tooth compared to inlays. Additionally, onlays are used for more extensive damage that may affect the structural integrity of the tooth.

What can I expect during the dental inlay or onlay procedure?

+
-

During the procedure, you can expect our dentist to begin by numbing the area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, any decay within the tooth will be carefully removed, and a digital impression will be taken to create the custom-fitted inlay or onlay with CEREC.

How long do dental inlays and onlays last?

+
-

Dental inlays and onlays are durable restorations designed to withstand normal biting forces and last for many years with proper care. The lifespan of your restoration may vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and regular dental check-ups.

With good oral care and routine dental visits, your inlay or onlay can provide long-lasting results, preserving the health and integrity of your tooth.

Are dental inlays and onlays noticeable?

+
-

One of the significant advantages of dental inlays and onlays is their ability to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether crafted from composite resin, porcelain, or gold, these restorations are designed to match the shade and shape of your existing teeth, making them virtually invisible to others.

This ensures a natural-looking smile while restoring the strength and functionality of your tooth.

Is the dental inlay or onlay procedure painful?

+
-

Our priority at Bayside Family Dentistry is to ensure your comfort throughout the dental procedure. Before beginning treatment, we will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience.

You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during certain stages of the procedure, but our experienced team will communicate with you and take steps to minimize any discomfort.

What are the benefits of choosing dental inlays and onlays?

+
-

Choosing dental inlays and onlays offers several benefits, including:

  • Durable and Long-lasting: These restorations are crafted from durable materials, providing long-lasting results.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Inlays and onlays are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
