Dental Inlays
And Onlays In Pekin

Preserve Your Smile With Dental Inlays And Onlays

When it comes to repairing damaged or decayed teeth, dental inlays and onlays are standout solutions. These custom-made restorations not only fix the tooth but also preserve its natural structure, ensuring both durability and aesthetics.

Crafted from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin, they are designed to seamlessly blend with your existing teeth, providing long-lasting solutions.

One of the most significant advantages of dental inlays and onlays is their ability to be completed in a single appointment. Unlike traditional crowns, inlays and onlays can be fabricated and placed in just one day. This streamlined process saves you time and minimizes the inconvenience associated with multiple dental visits, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your restored smile sooner.

The Inlays And Onlays Application Process

Applying Inlays And Onlays Is A Straightforward Process

The procedure typically requires just one appointment. Here’s an overview of what happens:

  1. Tooth Preparation: Dr. Erika begins by carefully examining and preparing the affected tooth, removing any decay or damage.
  2. Impression Taking: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom-fitted inlays or onlays, capturing the unique shape and contours of your tooth.
  3. Fabrication: The inlays or onlays are crafted in a dental laboratory using durable materials like porcelain or composite resin.
  4. Bonding the Restoration: Once ready, Dr. Erika bonds the restoration to the tooth surface using strong dental adhesive, ensuring a secure fit.

This efficient process ensures that your inlays or onlays are expertly applied and designed to provide lasting strength and functionality.

Considerations For Inlays And Onlays

Inlays and onlays offer several advantages over traditional fillings, including increased durability and longevity. While conventional fillings typically last around 5 to 7 years, inlays and onlays can last 10 years or more with proper care.

Additionally, these restorations can strengthen the tooth structure. By providing substantial support to weakened or damaged areas, these restorations help prevent further deterioration and reduce the likelihood of future decay. This added strength is particularly beneficial for teeth subjected to excessive chewing forces or those at risk of fracture due to large cavities or previous dental work. With inlays and onlays, you’ll enjoy enhanced dental function and longevity while preserving the integrity of your natural teeth for years to come.
