Dental Inlays

Dental inlays or inlay restoration is used to restore the biting surfaces of back teeth with help of custom made filling. The fillings are made in dental laboratory by professionals with great precision. The fillings are aesthetically crafted out of composite materials, such as gold or porcelain. Porcelain inlays are more common in comparison to the metal inlays as they look more natural due their whitish color. Inlays are cemented into the tooth for a permanent bonding. Inlay restoration provides structural integrity and help to maintain a good oral heath by preventing cavities.

What is the procedure of Dental Inlays?

The inlay procedure is usually carried out in two appointments. During the first appointment, the impressions of the tooth structure are taken to create an accurate custom inlay according to the individual specification. The dentist will also thoroughly examine the tooth and treat tooth decay and remove filling materials. The spacing will be shaped to fit in the inlay restoration and a temporary filling is done for the meanwhile. During the second appointment the custom made inlays are cemented onto the tooth.
