Dental Inlays in Brunswick, OH

Durable and Natural-Looking Restorations

Our Brunswick, OH practice uses advanced technology to create inlays that are both durable and natural-looking. We are dedicated to providing seamless restorations that enhance your tooth’s structure and function.

Why Choose Dental Inlays for Tooth Restoration?

Dental inlays are ideal for cavities or damage that are too extensive for a filling but don’t require a full crown. Unlike fillings, which are applied directly to the tooth, inlays are custom-made in a lab to fit precisely into the damaged area, providing enhanced durability and stability.

The Dental Inlay Process at Hendricks Family Dentistry

Getting a dental inlay involves a few steps designed to ensure comfort, precision, and long-lasting results:

• Initial Consultation and Preparation: During your dental exam, our team will assess your needs and determine if an inlay is the best solution. We use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to get a complete view of the affected tooth, ensuring a precise fit. Learn more about our advanced imaging.
• Digital Impressions: Using digital impressions (iTero) technology, we capture a detailed model of your tooth for a perfectly crafted inlay. This advanced method is more comfortable than traditional molds and highly accurate. Explore our digital impression technology.
• Custom Inlay Fabrication: Your inlay is custom-made from high-quality ceramic or composite materials to match your tooth’s natural color and provide a seamless look.
• Placement and Bonding: Once the inlay is ready, we bond it securely to your tooth, restoring its structure and function. Our precise process ensures the inlay fits comfortably and looks completely natural.

Benefits of Dental Inlays

Dental inlays offer several advantages for patients who need more than a filling but want a less invasive option than a crown:

• Durability and Strength: Inlays are highly durable and withstand daily wear, providing long-lasting protection for your teeth.
• Natural Appearance: Made from tooth-colored materials, inlays blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering an aesthetic advantage.
• Preservation of Tooth Structure: Inlays require less removal of natural tooth structure compared to crowns, making them a conservative option.

Supporting Your Oral Health with Preventive Care

Maintaining regular dental cleanings and exams is essential to avoid extensive dental work and prevent decay. We recommend routine visits to help preserve the longevity of your inlays and other restorations.
