Dental Inlays & Onlays: Precision Restorations

Inlays and Onlays Procedure at Digital Smiles
Comprehensive Examination
The journey begins with a thorough dental examination to assess the extent of damage or decay. Our experienced team at Digital Smiles determines if inlays and onlays are the ideal solution for your specific case.
Tooth Preparation
For inlays and onlays, only the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed, preserving more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional crowns. This minimally invasive approach helps maintain the strength of the tooth.
Impressions and Customization
Instead of traditional impression materials, CAD/CAM technology enables us to take digital impressions of the patient’s teeth using specialized scanning equipment. These digital impressions capture the exact contours of the tooth, eliminating the need for messy impression materials and ensuring a precise fit for the restoration.
Temporary Restoration (If Needed)
While your permanent inlays or onlays are being crafted, a temporary restoration may be placed to protect the prepared tooth and maintain your smile’s functionality.
Final Placement
Once your custom restoration is ready, it is meticulously bonded to the prepared tooth. Our dental professionals ensure a secure fit, making any necessary adjustments to guarantee optimal comfort and aesthetics.
