Dental Inlays & Onlays
If you have a cavity too big to place a dental filling, our dentist may recommend a dental inlay or onlay as the next best option. These are safe, effective and work to restore your tooth so you can regain a healthy, confident smile. Call Apollonia Dental PA today at 281-565-4321 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Isabel Vahedi and learn more about dental inlays and onlays in Sugar Land, Texas.
Benefits of Inlays & Onlays
- Conservative restoration that preserves more natural tooth structure than a crown
- Custom-crafted from durable porcelain or composite for a natural look
- Stronger and longer-lasting than traditional fillings for larger cavities
- Precise fit reduces the risk of future decay at the margins
- Restores the tooth's original strength and biting surface
- Stain-resistant material keeps your smile looking bright
What to Expect
During your first visit, Dr. Vahedi removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and takes an impression or digital scan. This information is used to fabricate a custom inlay or onlay in our lab. A temporary restoration protects your tooth while the permanent piece is being made.
At your second visit, the temporary is removed and the custom inlay or onlay is carefully bonded to your tooth. Dr. Vahedi checks your bite and polishes the restoration for a smooth, comfortable finish. With our same-day crown technology, some cases may be completed in a single visit.
Results
Inlays and onlays provide a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution for teeth that need more than a filling but less than a full crown. Patients enjoy restored chewing function and a seamless smile that can last for many years with proper care.
