Inlays/onlays are partial crowns that restore appearance and functionality to your teeth. At Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A., Drs. Meghadri and Grewal want you to be proud of your smile. Your smile will be with you for the rest of your life, you might as well enjoy it! If you are interested in inlays/onlays, visit our office in Somerville, NJ. or Neshanic Station, NJ.
Inlays/onlays use your natural teeth as a base to be placed onto. Doing so will strengthen the teeth, prevent any more damage, and restore its natural appearance. The difference between receiving an inlay vs. an onlay depends on the tooth. For more severe damage, an onlay is needed. Inlays are just placed and bonded directly onto your teeth. Onlays extend onto the back of the tooth, essentially replacing one or more of the tooths cusps.
During the procedure, the decayed or damaged areas of the tooth will be removed. An impression will then be made from the tooth. This impression is what will be used to create your personalized restorative device. We then send the mold to a dental laboratory to create. This will take about 2-3 weeks to be completed. In the meantime, you will receive sealant on the tooth. At your final appointment, your permanent inlay/onlay will be bonded to your tooth with cement.
