Inlays and Onlays in Calgary
Inlays and Onlays
An inlay or onlay offers a repair for teeth that’s similar to a dental crown, but with less coverage. When a tooth is minimally damaged and doesn’t require an entire crown to be placed, an inlay or onlay can be the ideal solution.
What Are Inlays and Onlays?
Inlays and onlays are often used for repairs to the teeth when they’ve been chipped or cracked, or when a large cavity has been filled. They’re placed over the top of the molars and secured in place. Inlays extend only between the ridges of the molar, while an onlay may include the tooth ridges in the restoration.
Why Repair Tooth Damage if It’s Not Bothering Me?
Even minimal tooth damage often extends into more serious damage over time. Wear and tear over the site of the damage can exacerbate the issue. Chips and cracks can also allow bacteria to enter into a tooth, potentially causing infections that require root canals or extractions. It’s best to repair a tooth immediately after damage. A strong path forward to restoration can ensure your tooth doesn’t affect your lifestyle or eating habits, while also helping you plan for any future needs.
