What are Inlays and Onlays?
Think of inlays and onlays as your teeth’s superheroes. They sweep in to rescue a tooth that’s been damaged by decay. Inlays cover the center of the tooth, while onlays extend over the cusps of the damaged tooth. They’re custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly and bring back your confident smile.
Why Choose Inlays and Onlays Over Fillings?
Three reasons move inlays and onlays to the top of the list:
- They preserve more of your natural tooth.
- They’re incredibly durable.
- Their precise fit ensures maximum comfort and functionality.
Unlike traditional fillings, inlays and onlays don’t require your dentist to remove a large part of your tooth. They’re made from sturdy materials like porcelain or gold, which last up to 30 years. And because they’re custom-made, they fit like a glove.
How are Inlays and Onlays Fitted?
The procedure is simple and pain-free. The dentist first removes the decay and then takes an impression of your tooth. This impression is used to create a model for the inlay or onlay. Once ready, the dentist bonds it to your tooth and polishes it until it shines just like your natural teeth. And voila! Your Silverlake smile is back.
Keeping Your Teeth Healthy with Inlays and Onlays
Once your inlay or onlay is in place, it’s all about maintenance. Regular brushing, flossing, and dentist visits will ensure your natural teeth stay healthy and beautiful. Remember, these restorations are long-lasting but not invincible. They need your care to keep your smile dazzling.
So, what are you waiting for? Jump into the world of inlays and onlays and reclaim your radiant Silverlake smiles.
