Inlays and Onlays in Midvale
What are Inlays and Onlays?
Onlays and inlays are considered Indirect Fillings, which means that they are customized to fit the specific size and shape of a cavity or where the tooth has active decay. Inlays and Onlays are usually used on premolars and molars. The difference between an inlay and an onlay is that it depends on how much of the tooth they cover and which parts of the tooth needs protection.
What to Expect When Getting Inlays and Onlays
- After placing local anesthetic, the dentist will remove the damaged portion of the tooth.
- The prepped tooth will be scanned and sent to the lab for fabrication of the inlay/onlay.
- A temporary restoration will be placed until the final restoration is returned from the dental lab.
- When you return to the office for your 2nd appointment, the final inlay/onlay will be placed, your bite checked, and final polishing will be done.
