An inlay restoration is a customized filling crafted by a dental laboratory. Typically made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain, it's permanently cemented into the tooth.
This type of restoration is often used to address broken or fractured teeth, decayed teeth, or large fillings that are fractured or compromised.
What is the process of getting an inlay?
- Taking precise molds of the affected area.
- Crafting a custom inlay and temporary restoration.
- Removing decay or old filling materials.
- Applying a temporary filling for tooth protection.
- Cementing the fabricated inlay, created by a dental laboratory, into place.
Why Dental Inlays?
Dental inlays, often made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain, offer more long-lasting and natural-looking results compared to metal fillings.
