Marina District Dentistry will keep your natural teeth in place as long as possible. But when advanced decay means there will be more filling than tooth structure, it puts your tooth at risk of cracks, breaks, and other issues. Crowns are a practical option.
Dr. Racic designs your crown with a custom approach to restore the aesthetics of your smile with a strong, healthy tooth. In addition, Dr. Racic has the technologically advanced equipment on-site to ensure that fixing your tooth with a dental crown is simple, successful and completed in one appointment.
What Is an Inlay?
A dental inlay is a filling for cavities on the interior of a tooth.
The procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. A local anesthetic is administered. Once the area is numb, the decay is removed. An impression of your tooth's top crevice area is made with a mold. Porcelain or composite resin material make up dental inlays. Coloring is matched to your tooth. Inlays provide almost invisible dental restoration and are usually more durable than regular fillings.
How an Inlay Differs from an Onlay or Filling
It sounds like an excellent option to repair and restore a decayed or fractured tooth, Right!
The onlay covers damage to the cusps and biting surfaces.
And a crown covers the entire tooth.
The onlay and crown procedure is similar to the inlay. A local anesthetic numbs the affected area. Any decay cleaned out or damaged tooth material removed. A mould of the tooth is made and used to create a permanent onlay.
Dr. Racic has this technology on-site, so there will be no waiting period of a week while a lab makes the permanent inlay, onlay or crown. You will not have to come for another appointment—the restoration procedure completed on-site, same day.
