Dental Inlays in Aurora | Dental Onlays in Aurora

Our teeth suffer from damage, such as decay, chips, or cracks that are too severe to be treated with fillings but not severe enough to need a crown. Instead, our dentists may use dental inlays in Aurora and dental onlays in Aurora, which offer a durable and natural-looking solution.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?

These forms of indirect fillings restore mild to moderate decay, cracks, or chips on teeth. They can be made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold. Dental inlays are bonded to shallow cavities on the tip of the affected tooth, placed in the middle, and extended to the cusps. Dental onlays are used for larger cavities that require additional coverage.
 
Although these indirect restoration types are more expensive than traditional fillings, they are much stronger and more durable. The durable materials used offer a wide range of colours to blend with the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.

The Procedure for Inlays and Onlays

  • 1. First Appointment: The dentist cleans the tooth and puts a temporary filling. An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a lab to prepare the dental inlay or onlay.
  • 2. Second Appointment: Once the custom inlay/onlay is ready, it is carefully bonded to the affected tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and enhanced durability.

Benefits of Dental Inlays and Onlays

  • Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly with your teeth.
  • Durability: More resistant to wear compared to traditional fillings.
  • Preserves Tooth Structure: Less invasive than full crowns.
  • Better Fit: Custom-made for a precise, long-lasting solution.
  • Stain Resistance: Porcelain inlays and onlays are highly resistant to staining.
  • Enhanced Strength: Helps reinforce the tooth, reducing the risk of further damage.
  • Minimally Invasive: Requires less removal of the natural tooth structure than crowns.
  • Long-Term Cost Savings: Though initially more expensive, they require fewer replacements over time compared to fillings.

FAQs About Dental Inlays and Onlays in Aurora

  • 1. How long do inlays and onlays last?
    With proper care, dental inlays and onlays in Aurora can last 10-30 years, making them a long-term restorative option much like veneers.
  • 2. Is the procedure painful?

  • 5. How do I know if I need an inlay or an onlay?
    Your dentist will evaluate the extent of the damage and recommend the best option based on your tooth’s condition.
  • 6. Can inlays and onlays be repaired if damaged? >br>In some cases, minor damage can be repaired, but a severely damaged inlay or onlay may need replacement.
