Porcelain Inlay or Onlay Goodge Street

A dental inlay is a dental restoration used to repair a damaged or decayed tooth. Inlays are custom-made to fit into the prepared cavity or space in the tooth and are bonded to the tooth surface to restore its shape, function, and strength. They are made from various materials, including gold, porcelain, or composite resin. Gold inlays are the most durable, while porcelain inlays are more aesthetically pleasing, matching the surrounding teeth's color.During the first visit, the dentist will remove the decay from the tooth and prepare it for the inlay. Afterward, he will take an impression of the damaged tooth and send it to a dental laboratory, where the dental technician will customise the inlay. Once the inlay is back at the dental practice, the dentist will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before bonding it to the tooth surface using a dental sealant. With proper care and maintenance, a dental inlay can last many years, providing a solid and natural-looking. Dental inlays are commonly used to repair moderate to large cavities or to replace old or damaged fillings. They offer several advantages over traditional dental fillings, including: Better strength and durability. A natural-looking appearance that blends in with surrounding teeth. Preservation of more of the natural tooth structure. Resistance to staining and discoloration. Reduced risk of tooth fracture or damage.
