Affordable and Natural-Looking Inlays & Onlays in North Spokane
Inlays and onlays are excellent solutions for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. They are custom-made fillings that fit precisely into the tooth, providing strength and durability while maintaining a natural appearance. Inlays are placed within the tooth’s grooves, while onlays cover larger areas, including the tooth's cusps. Both options are ideal for patients needing more extensive restoration than a traditional filling but not requiring a full crown.
At Cascade Dental Care in North Spokane, we use advanced materials for inlays and onlays, such as porcelain or composite resin, ensuring a perfect match with your natural tooth color. These materials are aesthetically pleasing, strong, and long-lasting, providing a durable solution for teeth damaged or weakened by decay.
The procedure for placing inlays and onlays is minimally invasive. After carefully preparing the tooth, we take an impression to create a custom restoration that fits perfectly. The inlay or onlay is bonded to the tooth, restoring function and appearance. With proper care, these restorations can last many years, offering you a comfortable, natural-looking smile. Visit us today to see if inlays or onlays are the right solution for your dental needs.
Installing Inlays and Onlays: A Quick and Effective Process
The installation of inlays and onlays is a precise, minimally invasive procedure. First, the affected tooth is cleaned and shaped to ensure a perfect fit. We then take an impression of the tooth to create a custom inlay or onlay designed to match your tooth’s natural shape and color. This ensures both comfort and durability.
Once your custom restoration is ready, it is bonded securely to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive. The process typically requires two visits—one for preparation and one for placement. Inlays and onlays provide long-lasting protection, restore tooth function, and enhance the natural appearance of your smile.
