An inlay is an indirect restoration (filling) consisting of a solid substance (as gold or porcelain) fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place. To make this restoration, an impression of the prepared cavity is taken using an elastic material. It is sent to the dental technician who will make the inlay. Most inlays are made of gold or tooth-coloured porcelain. Since they can be made from tooth-colored material, including porcelain and composite resin, inlays and onlays are virtually invisible. Unlike metal fillings, inlays and onlays will not expand or contract in response to temperature changes caused by hot or cold foods. This change in size can cause teeth to weaken or fracture. The use of inlays and onlays requires less tooth reduction than does the use of metal fillings. This allows dentists to conserve more of a patient’s natural tooth structure in the treatment process. Because of the way inlays and onlays are made, they help to strengthen teeth by up to 75 percent. The durable material from which inlays and onlays are made helps them last up to 30 years, much longer than that of conventional fillings. Inlays and onlays can replace silver fillings to create a healthier, more natural-looking smile. By saving decayed teeth, inlays and onlays prevent the need for more extensive treatment later on.

Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth. Many people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This can not only improve their appearance but also the way the teeth bite together, while also making them easier to clean. In some patients the upper front teeth can stick out and look unsightly. These ‘prominent’ teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic treatment can move them back into line. In others, the way the upper and lower jaws meet can cause teeth to look unsightly and lead to an incorrect bite. Orthodontic treatment may be able to correct both. When the teeth don’t meet correctly, this can put strain on the muscles of the jaw, causing jaw and joint problems and in some cases headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help you to bite more evenly and reduce the strain.

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, support bridges, support dentures, and eliminate the need for removable partial dentures. It is a good option for replacing one, or several teeth if the patient has good overall dental health and bone structure. A dental implant is attached only to the replacement tooth that it holds. This means that there is no need to have any natural tooth structure removed to fit a crown; the dental implant is secure without any support. A dental implant is a permanent replacement that looks and feels like your natural teeth, so there is no extra maintenance, or change in biting habits that are normally associated with partial dentures. Dental implants use material which the human body accepts, such as Titanium which is buried into the jaw bone. There will be a period of 3 – 6 months to allow the “ osseointegration” (fusing) process to take place between the bone and Titanium oxide on the surface of the dental implant. A crown is then place over thedental implant which is buried and affixed in the bone, thus allowing the secure fit for the dentures without affecting the bordering teeth. Benefits: Dental implants are the closest possible replacement to natural teeth. Dental implants remove the need to cut down healthy teeth for a bridge. They can eliminate the pain caused by ill-fitting dentures. Denttal implants help preserve the bone in the jaws.

In dentistry, crown and bridge refer to the restoration of natural teeth that have been damaged, decayed, lost, undergone root canal treatment, or when a permanent teeth color change is desired by the patient, or when tooth restoration is not possible with materials generally used in inlays / onlays (partial tooth restoration), or for veneer. This is because prior to making a crown, some part of the tooth has to be drilled / grinded to the right shape / contour to ensure a proper fit for the crown. If the patient has undergone a root canal treatment, then the dentist must check to see if there is adequate tooth structure left to avoid further loss of that tooth structure. Post and core may be necessary prior to making the crown to ensure added strength and proper fit for the crown if the patient's remaining tooth structureis not quite adequate. Types of materials used to make crowns, depending on the objectives: all-ceramic (porcelain) with no metal, suitable for patients who prefer the attractive natural look as opposedto other types of crown material which cannot match the surface texture and light reflection of ceramic. Full metal Full metal crowns are commonly used in rear teeth as they are durable and suitable for biting food with a better fit than all-ceramic. They wear out naturally, but are not attractive and Porcelain fused to metal.
