Inlay Restorations

Inlay restorations are custom-made fillings crafted from composite, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. Designed in a professional dental lab, they are securely cemented into the tooth by your dentist.
Inlays are ideal for repairing teeth with large defective fillings or damage from decay or trauma. They offer a conservative alternative to traditional fillings and crowns, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
While durable and long-lasting, inlays may require replacement over time.

Reasons for Inlay Restorations:

Broken or fractured teeth
Decay
Cosmetic improvements
Large or fractured fillings

What to Expect:

First Appointment:

Impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom inlay.
Decay or old fillings are removed, and the area is cleaned and shaped.
A temporary filling protects the tooth while your inlay is being made.

Second Appointment:

The custom inlay is cemented into place.
Adjustments ensure a perfect fit and bite.
After treatment, maintain good oral hygiene, a healthy diet, and regular dental visits to extend the life of your inlay.
