Carrying a smile that encourages people to talk to you is the indicator of the best oral health. If you do not feel confident in flaunting your smile amongst the people then, it’s time for you to meet a dentist at Angie Dinh DDS.
These are the internal crowns that are formed by porcelain, which replace the decayed tooth tissue while still preserving the healthy tissue in the mouth, and the advantage is they look natural and are generally strong.
Inlays are formed of long-lasting, natural-looking substances like porcelain, which is strong, while Onlays are used for larger restoration, repairing inside the cusp, which extends over one or more side of the tooth; both the restoration options are invisible.
Both inlays and outlays are performed through the same procedure. During the first visit, the area will be made numb using a local anesthetic. Then the decayed or the damaged tooth are removed using the drill; then, once it is done, an impression is made of the prepared tooth so the inlay and outlay material can be cast, which fills the tooth exactly. Then the temporary restoration is placed on the tooth for protection; meanwhile, the laboratory makes the new structure which can be bonded to the tooth.
The laboratory prepared the new tooth surface using the impression, and the material for the new tooth surface is of gold, porcelain, etc. during the second, the temporary restoration is removed.
Next, the dentist will try the new restoration and makes sure that it fits perfectly fine, and then by using cement, the inlay and outlay are permanently attached. Finally, the dentist polishes the bonded structure.
