Dental inlay is used for repairing the larger chewing surface on the teeth at the back of one’s mouth. Inlays are also used for repairing larger cavities in a tooth.
A tooth is first prepared for a dental inlay. Impressions of the affected tooth are made and passed on to our dental laboratory. Once the inlay is ready, we ask you to visit us again so we can fit the tailor-made inlay onto your tooth. The inlays can be made from gold or porcelain, based on your preference. Between appointments, whilst you are waiting for the inlay, we apply temporary filling to your tooth.
