PORCELAIN INLAYS & ONLAYS
What Exactly Are Onlays and Inlays?
Onlays and inlays are two types of indirect restorations that Dr. Azim uses to strengthen a tooth after it has decayed. Made of strong dental porcelain these restorations offer more coverage and protection than simple dental bonding material and are a good alternative to the more invasive dental crown procedure. Onlays and inlays are created by our lab and custom-designed to fit your tooth. They tend to last longer than regular fillings.
Inlays — High-quality porcelain restorations, that are used to replace the tooth structure that has been removed due to decay.
Onlays — often referred to as partial crowns, cover more surface area than inlays and are placed over the cusp area of teeth.
The Procedure
In just two short visits to our financial district dental office, our team can effectively eliminate decay and restore your tooth to full strength. During your first visit, Dr. Azim will remove the decay. After taking an impression of your tooth, the measurements are sent to our skilled dental technicians for fabrication of the final restoration and a temporary restoration is placed. During your second visit, Dr. Azim will replace the temporary filling with your new restoration. It is bonded in place and further shaped to fit your bite perfectly.
