Dental Inlay Chilliwack

Onlay and Inlay fillings are custom fabricated dental restorations favored by many oral health care professionals. Often, these restorative fillings are used in place of dental crowns as they are less invasive. Used in place of the more conventional fillings, customized fillings can also be beneficial both functionally and aesthetically when treating tooth decay and damage to the structure of the tooth, while retaining the natural colour of the tooth. Also termed indirect fillings, they offer a tight-fitting, stronger, and longer lasting solution to tooth decay. Traditional fillings are atypical in one respect though. They can be molded in position during your dental visit, while custom fabrications have got to be designed in a dental laboratory before being located in a tooth.

Inlay style fillings are produced to fit within the interior of a tooth, whereas the Onlays style fillings fit in the interior of the tooth as well, but it should also cover any missing or cracked cusps on the outer edges of the tooth's surface.

There are several benefits of the conservative approach to custom fabricated fillings:

Superior Fit
Conservative Inlay and Onlay fillings only require a minimal amount of preparation which can help save healthy tooth enamel and dentin. This gives patients with little or average tooth decay an extra option over composite resin or silver amalgam fillings

No Colour Change
Personalized dental fillings tooth coloured fillings will be slower to change colour over composite resin fillings

Tooth Structure Safeguard
Only small amounts of the tooth structures need to be removed in preparation of the conservative Inlay and Onlay restorations. This will guarantee functional longevity for damaged and decayed teeth.

Easy Tooth Cleaning
Your teeth can be simpler and easier to clean than other full restorative options such as a dental crowns because the preparation is minimal and the edges are all molded for a proper fit. Composite resin fillings might shrink while in the curing process, where porcelain ceramic or gold Inlays and Onlays will not contract ensuring a correct fit.

Secure Fit Discourages Harmful Bacterias
Inlays will likely be recommended when you have a dental cavity in between your teeth, as they are better at sealing the teeth and work to prevent destructive bacterias. In addition, they will be simpler to clean and will not stain over time.

More Stable
Inlays and Onlays restorations offer a stable, excellent fit with extremely durable materials that can really strengthen a damaged or decayed tooth.

Minimal Tooth Reshaping
Onlay fillings can help guard the weak areas of the tooth's structure and they do not need to be fully remodeled or reshaped during preparations.

Customized fillings can be formed from ceramic, gold, or composite resin materials. The difference between them is in the appearance of the finished product.

Your oral health care provider may perhaps discuss the best restorative material to use for your filling. The best choice for overall functioning will be the gold restoration, however they are not always aesthetically pleasing. Porcelain materials are generally the most aesthetically pleasing and are most regularly used on the front teeth or anywhere where your smile will be visible. For patients who clench or grind their teeth or individuals with a misaligned bite, the best option for them is to use a composite resin filling.

Personalized restorations are secure dental restorations that will last for a long period of time.
