Traditional dental fillings can cause a significant reduction in the strength of a natural tooth, up to 50%. Fortunately, inlays and onlays provide an excellent alternative. These tooth restorations are bonded directly onto the tooth using special high-strength resins and can actually increase tooth strength by up to 75%. Onlays can provide an excellent alternative when tooth damage isn’t extensive enough to merit a full dental crown.
Inlays and onlays can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, gold, and composite resin. Porcelain has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its strength and ability to match the natural color of teeth. Inlays are used inside the cusp tips of the tooth, similar to a filling. Onlays are a more substantial reconstruction, similar to inlays, but they extend out over one or more of the cusps of the tooth. The process for placing inlays and onlays typically requires two appointments. During the first appointment, your teeth are cleaned and impressions are taken to send to the lab for fabrication. During your second appointment, your inlay or onlay is placed into your teeth and cemented. Your dentist will check the fit to ensure comfort.
Most of the risks associated with inlays and onlays are related to the anesthetic used to numb the area around the tooth. This allows dentists to properly clean and prepare your tooth for the inlay or onlay while you rest comfortably in the dentist’s chair. Inform your dentist if you are taking any medication that may react to the anesthetic. Our experienced dental team will create a customized treatment plan for you. Inlays and onlays offer a great alternative to traditional fillings and can help increase the strength of your natural teeth while providing a natural appearance.
