When a tooth sustains damage, it doesn’t always need to be fixed with a full dental crown. However, often it does need just a little more than a filling. This is why Top Choice Dental here in Hopkinsville, KY chooses to utilize inlays and onlays for dental restoration.
Inlays and onlays restore the chewing surface of the tooth. An inlay covers the chewing surface without any cusps. An onlay covers the chewing surface plus one or more cusps. These inlays and onlays are very durable; they have the ability to last for up to thirty years. They are also able to be made completely natural-looking so they will blend in with the rest of your tooth.
We create inlays and onlays by first removing any decay from your tooth and then taking an impression of the tooth. We send this impression to a dental laboratory to create a custom inlay or onlay made of gold, composite resin, or porcelain. The creation process will probably take a few weeks, so during this time, we will fit you with a temporary inlay or onlay. When the custom restoration is complete, we will permanently bond it into place.
Dental restorations do not have to ruin your smile. For a natural-looking restoration, contact Top Choice Dental of Hopkinsville, KY by calling our office at (270) 886-8585 or visiting our website, www.hoptowndental.com.
