Don't leave everything to chance; keep yourself protected with an insurance
Inlays are molded and fitted into the chewing surface of a tooth that has been damaged through decay or injury. They are created using an imprint of the affected areas that are sent to a lab for manufacturing. An inlay will fit perfectly into the hollow of the tooth, but they do not affect the cusps.
Onlays are used for decay and damage to the cusps of a tooth as well as the biting surface. A dentist will choose an onlay when a cavity is too big to fill with standard amalgam fillings, or that the tooth could crack due to weakness. An onlay will shore up the strength of the tooth along with protecting the decaying area.
Extend the life of the teeth
Before placing either inlays or onlays, the dentist would first get rid of the decayed portions. Afterward, it is the prosthesis’ job to keep the teeth strong and fully functional. Since the material used is durable, patients can just observe proper oral hygiene to keep the prosthesis in shape for a long time.
Protect from further damage
If cavities are not removed, they can continue affecting even the deepest portion of the teeth. Fortunately, by opting for inlays and onlays, aside from protecting the oral structures, the further spread of cavities can be stopped.
Provide a natural-looking restoration
Aside from being durable, patients can rest easy since inlays and onlays use tooth-colored materials to provide better aesthetics. After restoring their compromised teeth, they have more reasons to flash their restored smiles confidently.
Inlays and onlays are covered by many insurance providers. The reason is because they are not strictly cosmetic. They are used to keep the tooth strong while conserving tooth
structure as much as possible. Check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered.
Inlays and onlays have some similarities, but serve specific, unique purposes. Many dentists consider them to be great alternatives to fillings, crowns, and other dental restoration options.
