After detecting tooth decay, getting a filling done as soon as possible is an effective and quick solution, and it should definitely be a priority.
Previously, amalgam fillings were preferred for dental restorations. Although durable, their mercury content and grayish color posed disadvantages. Nowadays, the popularly preferred white-colored composite filling material provides a highly aesthetic appearance. However, the condition of the tooth to be filled is an important criterion for the treatment process.
Inlay and Onlay Filling Technique
The inlay and onlay filling procedures differ somewhat from other techniques. These types of fillings are prepared outside the mouth. Inlay fillings are preferred for smaller areas, whereas onlay fillings cover larger areas involving most of the tooth surface.
Your dentist will clean the decay from the tooth before the procedure and prepare the tooth for filling, then take measurements. Based on these data, a composite or ceramic filling is prepared and bonded to the tooth to complete the procedure. The aesthetic filling technique offers many advantages. Since it is done outside the mouth, it avoids the negative problems experienced with older filling methods.
It provides a comfortable fit compatible with the tooth. Inlay and onlay fillings look very aesthetic on the tooth and, when viewed, almost feel like natural teeth. It is possible to complete the entire procedure healthily in a maximum of two sessions.
Seeking a full-time position where I can meet professional challenges by utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management, and problem-solving abilities.
