Revolutionary Dental Restoration:
Inlays & Onlays
The Transformation of Dental Procedures in Dallas, TX
Dental inlays and onlays are among the groundbreaking restorative procedures that salvage damaged or decayed teeth, and importantly, conserve a maximum amount of the natural dental structure. Under the expertise of Dr. Cory Nguyen, DDS at the reputed Beyond Dental & Implant Center, these treatments, precise in their approach, yield restorations that perfectly mimic natural teeth.
Dental Inlays vs Onlays
Wondering about what exactly are dental inlays and onlays? Often acting as alternatives to conventional dental crowns or fillings, inlays and onlays, or ‘indirect fillings’ are arguably more conservative as they spare more of the original tooth structure. If the damage in a tooth is beyond the repairing capacity of a filling, but doesn’t quite necessitate a crown, inlays or onlays could be the go-to solution.
The Process: Dental Inlays
The graduated procedure of inlays is akin to dental crowns, generally completed in two steps. To start off, Dr. Cory Nguyen thoroughly sanitizes the damaged tooth by extracting decayed matter. Once the area is numb, compliments of a local anesthetic, the cavity is then cleansed using a drill. After this, an impression is taken and a temporary inlay is inserted. This impression is forwarded to our state-of-the-art lab, where the final inlay, made from peerless ceramic materials, is customized.
Once your permanent sculpted inlay is ready, you visit us again for the second appointment, during which the temporary inlay is replaced with the final one. The inlay is checked to ensure a flawless fit, following which, it is fastened to the tooth using special cement and a curing light.
A Myriad of Benefits
The inherent benefits of these conservation-oriented restorations, namely, superior fit, enhanced aesthetics and stability, make them immensely popular. In contrast to crowns, inlays do not harbor bacteria or foster tooth decay, maintaining your oral health in the long run. The perfect fit of the inlay fortifies the damaged tooth and its non-discolouring nature ensures consistency of look.
