Inlays & Onlays
Imagine your tooth as a work of art, and sometimes, even masterpieces need a touch-up. Inlays and onlays are the artist’s tools—meticulously crafted restorations that fit perfectly into or onto your tooth to repair damage and restore beauty.
Think of them as the middle ground between a filling and a crown, offering strength and a seamless look, all without taking over the entire stage.
Benefits of Inlays and Onlays
Here’s what makes inlays and onlays so great:
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Crafted from top-notch materials, inlays and onlays are built to last, standing strong against the wear and tear of daily life.
- Natural Appearance: These restorations are like chameleons—they blend in perfectly with your natural teeth, so all anyone sees is your stunning smile.
- Preserves Healthy Tooth Structure: Why lose more of your natural tooth than necessary? Inlays and onlays let us keep the good parts intact while fixing what needs attention.
With these benefits, inlays and onlays are a fantastic choice for restoring both function and aesthetics to your teeth.
The Step-by-Step Process
Here’s how we bring your tooth back to its prime:
1.
Initial Consultation: We start with a friendly chat and a thorough look at your tooth to see if an inlay or onlay is your tooth’s new best friend.
2.
Tooth Preparation: We carefully clean and prepare the tooth, making it ready for its custom restoration. Then, we take an impression—think of it as a blueprint for perfection.
3.
Custom Fabrication: Your inlay or onlay is crafted with precision in a dental lab, designed to fit your tooth like a glove.
4.
Placement: Once your restoration is ready, we bond it to your tooth, ensuring a snug, secure fit that feels just like the real thing.
Following these steps ensures that your tooth is restored to its best possible condition with precision and care.
