Miami Essential Dental
An inlay refers to filling that is used for treating cavities. The Inlays lie within the cusps on the chewing portion of the teeth. The process is executed by taking an impression of your teeth and then preparing a restoration piece in the dental lab. It is one of the best procedures to fix extensive decays or fractures that cannot be fixed with intracoronal restoration. Onlays are almost the same as that of the Inlays, but the only difference is that they aim specifically towards removing tooth cusps. If you want to get quality inlays and onlays for your teeth living in Miami, contact us at Miami Essential Dental Clinic. We have fully equipped labs with experts who can make the best fitted dental restorative pieces for you.
There are two types of Inlays and Onlays, namely direct and indirect. These are either made in a dental lab, or placed in your mouth directly. The process starts with removing a decayed portion of teeth and then replacing the same with resin. Your dentist will cement the Inlays/Onlays on your teeth and then polish the same.
The indirect ones are made in the lab and thus takes more than one visit. Here too, the decayed portion of the teeth is removed, and then a temporary filling replaces it. Impressions of your teeth are sent to the lab to make customized Inlays/Onlays. On your next visit, the dentist will replace the temporary filling with the new custom-made filling. Then the dentists would polish it.
Our experts at Miami Essential Dental Clinic will first examine your teeth and then decide which Inlay or Onlay is suitable according to your teeth’ conditions. If you miss more than half of your teeth, then this the Inlays/Onlays treatment method might be ideal for you. The benefits of Inlays/Onlays are that they are highly durable, add strength to your teeth, and increase your natural teeth’ lifespan.
