Porcelain Inlays & Gold Inlays
Porcelain Inlays & Gold Inlays
Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are used to restore back teeth that require large fillings. If the broken or decayed part of a tooth is too large then a white filling is not always possible. In this situation we use porcelain inlays. Inlays are stronger than white fillings but still allow excellent aesthetics. They are bonded on to the remaining tooth structure.
Each inlay is hand made in a laboratory to either match and fit your existing teeth. There are several types of inlay available, each type being suitable for different situations. The team will be pleased to discuss your options should you need an inlay
A well made inlay which closely matches your existing tooth can give you the confidence to laugh and smile without worrying that anyone will realise that it is there. We want your dentistry to look great, feel great and stay healthy for many years
Gold inlays are the best, safest, oldest and longest lasting dental restorations. They are usually indicated for use in the back part of the mouth, the bicuspids and molars.
Not many Doctors in the dental profession will dispute the fact that gold inlays, where properly indicated are the longest lasting dental restorations for teeth. So what are the barriers preventing us from receiving these great restorations? One is the initial cost. Gold inlays cost 4-5 times that of a silver-mercury amalgam for the same tooth.
