Dental Inlays and Onlays are Indirect Fillings placed outside the mouth. They are piece that fits the particular shape and size of the cavity. Onlays and Inlays are used in premolars or molars when the tooth has undergone damage to support a simple filling. If your teeth have experienced too much damage, a crown will be needed.
Dental Inlays and Onlays are made from a material called porcelain, which improves the aesthetic value for the patient. Onlays and Inlays are made up of ceramic materials in recent times.
Dental inlays are fitted and molded in the chewing area of your tooth that is damaged by injury or decay. Dental Onlays are used for damage and deterioration to the cusps of your tooth as well as the biting surface.
Dental Inlays and Onlays replace fractured or damaged cavity fillings. If there is an existing filling in your tooth, your dentist will remove it. Then, the dentist prepares and shapes your tooth, allowing for easier placement of the Inlay or Onlay.
An impression is taken of the cavitated or damaged tooth during the first visit. This will help your dentist decide which material to use for the inlay or Onlay.
While the inlay or Onlay is being prepared, a temporary filling is placed to seal the cavity. This helps to prevent oral decay and protects your tooth from thermal stimulation.
After the restoration is made, you will set up one more appointment with your dentist to place the Inlay or Onlay. Your dentist will administer a local anesthetic during this appointment to reduce pain. The temporary filling material is removed from the cavity, and the dental Inlay or Onlay is fixed into your tooth. Dentists remove the temporary filling and place the inlay or Onlay without causing significant discomfort.
