Inlays and Onlays in The Colony, TX

Are you worried about a chipped, cracked, or fractured tooth? If so, our reliable dentist near you can restore the tooth with the help of fillings, inlays, onlays, or crowns. Our dentist will help you choose the most suitable solution, depending on your treatment goals, the tooth location, and the nature of the damage.

The biting forces on teeth differ according to their location, and this plays a crucial part in deciding on the right choice of restoration.

WHEN DO YOU NEED INLAYS?

Our dentist at Main Dentistry will first evaluate your oral cavity before placing a filling, inlay, or onlay. Fillings are ideal for smaller-sized cavities as they are made of composite resin or amalgam, both of which tend to shrink over time. They are also more prone to damage compared to inlays, which are prepared as durable, custom-fitted, single pieces.

Once the filling shrinks or chips, it leaves gaps through which bacteria may penetrate the tooth and cause decay. Customized inlays are designed to fit snugly around the tooth. Our trained dentist in The Colony, TX, takes precise measurements and sends the molds to an off-site lab. Inlays and onlays procedures usually require two dental visits.

Inlays are better suited for larger cavities as they are more durable and resistant to wear and tear. We check the inlays and onlays for fit and comfort during routine exams. Please call us today to learn more about inlays and onlays near you.

WHEN ARE ONLAYS MORE SUITABLE?

Crowns are fabricated to restore the entire visible portion of the tooth while onlays cover one or more cusps. In terms of coverage, onlays are smaller than crowns but larger than fillings. They cover the tooth surface above the gum line and are more durable than fillings or inlays. Our experienced dentist skillfully cements the onlays onto the tooth to maximize the aesthetics and functionality.

Inlays and onlays in The Colony, TX, offer superior stability and support compared to resin or amalgam fillings. Main Dentistry also provides alternative options like crowns, bridges, partials, full set dentures, and implants to replace missing teeth.
