720-703-4609When it comes to restoring your teeth with precision and care, our team at Castle Rock Restorative Dentistry is here to help. Dental inlays and onlays are excellent options for repairing teeth that have moderate decay or damage but do not require a full crown. These restorations are custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly, ensuring a natural look and feel.
What are Dental Inlays and Onlays?
Dental inlays and onlays are types of indirect fillings that are designed to fit the unique contours of your tooth, providing a seamless and strong restoration. Inlays are used to fill cavities within the cusps (top edges) of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps to cover a larger area of the tooth’s surface.
The Benefits of Choosing Inlays and Onlays
Choosing dental inlays and onlays in Castle Rock, Colorado, offers several advantages for maintaining the health and appearance of your smile:
- Durability: Inlays and onlays are made from strong materials that can withstand the forces of chewing and biting, making them a long-lasting solution for tooth restoration.
- Preservation of Tooth Structure: Unlike full crowns, inlays and onlays require less removal of your natural tooth structure, preserving as much of your original tooth as possible.
- Natural Appearance: The materials used for inlays and onlays can be color-matched to your existing teeth, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Improved Oral Health: By restoring damaged teeth with inlays and onlays, you can prevent further decay and damage, promoting better overall oral health.
Our Process for Inlays and Onlays
Dr. John Gittins are committed to providing personalized and precise dental care. The process for getting inlays and onlays typically involves two visits. During the first visit, our team will remove the decayed or damaged part of your tooth and take an impression of the area. This impression is used to create your custom inlay or onlay. While your restoration is being fabricated, a temporary filling may be placed to protect your tooth.
At your second visit, the temporary filling is removed and the custom inlay or onlay is bonded to your tooth. Our prosthodontists will ensure that the fit is perfect and that your bite is comfortable. The result is a beautifully restored tooth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth.
