Inlays are relatively new solutions to the problem of replacing holes caused by decay. Cosmetically it makes more sense to use a tooth coloured porcelain to fill holes.
your appointment
The best inlays are made from porcelain, they are the ‘state of the art’ way to fill holes left by decay

The decay is removed, & an impression is taken of the tooth . This is used to create a plaster cast on which the inlay can be modeled.

On your 2nd visit, usually a week later, the inlay is fitted. The result is an inlay which precisely fits the tooth, modelled in detail to resemble a natural tooth.

Generally the life expectancy of porcelain inlays is approximately 5 - 20 years and mainly recommended on molar and premolar teeth.

LOOKING AFTER A PORCELINE INLAY
A porcelain inlay can be treated like any other tooth & therefore needs the same care & attention. Brushing & flossing is obviously important. Also ensure you visit us for 6 monthly consultations.

Ask your dentist or one of the dental team for more information.
