| Inlay/Onlays When a critical area of a tooth’s biting surface is damaged, We will often suggest an inlay or onlay restoration. What are inlays and onlays? Inlays and onlays are fillings that are made of cast porcelain or gold alloy. They are cemented or bonded into the prepared tooth replacing the critical area of the tooth. An inlay usually fits into the central biting surface of the tooth and may include one or more of the sides of the tooth. An onlay usually has a larger area of coverage, and most often includes one or more of the large cusps of a tooth. gold inlay porcelain inlay Traditionally, gold has been the material of choice for inlays and onlays. In recent years, however, ceramic porcelain has become increasingly popular. This is due to the technical ability to match it to natural tooth color. Although the porcelain fillings are a ceramic glass material, they are impressively strong and resilient when used properly. Procedure: Inlays and onlays require two appointments to complete the procedure. During the first visit, the filling being replaced or the damaged or decaying area of the tooth is removed, and the tooth is prepared for the inlay or onlay. Impressions and models of the tooth are taken. We will then place a temporary filling in the tooth and schedule the next appointment. The impressions and models are delivered to the lab where the inlay or onlay is fabricated. At the second appointment, the temporary filling is removed. The Doctors will then make sure that the inlay or onlay fits correctly and make any final adjustments. The inlay or onlay will then be cemented or bonded into the tooth. |
