Our team provides custom dental restoration to help improve the overall health, function, and even the appearance of your smile. When you sustain damage or develop more serious cases of tooth decay, we could restore your tooth with a partial crown. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about our inlays and onlays!
The Need for Partial Restorations
When do you need a partial restoration? For most cases of tooth decay, we could offer treatment in only one visit with a dental filling. However, if the decay is more severe, then this could provide care in cases that are too severe for a filling, but not severe enough to require a full crown. The same goes for damage that falls in this in-between area. Our team will examine your smile to assess the severity of the injury and to decide if you need a partial crown, and if so, we can begin planning the procedure.
Inlays and Onlays
Our team will numb the tooth or teeth and then remove decay and any damaged or decayed structures. We then clean the tooth and take images and impressions with digital technology, which we use to aid in the creation of your partial crown. The completed restoration will be made from materials like ceramic, which can handle daily bite forces and also be shaded to blend with the color of your surrounding tooth structure.
Then inlays will fit in between the cusps on top of the tooth, while the onlays will fit over the cusps on the teeth. We will check the fit of your custom restoration and if necessary, make any adjustments before we attach it with a powerful bonding agent.
If You Need A Crown
What if you need a complete crown? Then we will remove structure from the tooth to make room for this complete restoration, and the process will proceed as it does for an inlay or onlay, only you will have a full crown that fits over the tooth and addresses the structure above the gum line. If you have any questions about how we restore your teeth, then contact our team today to learn more and start your journey to a better smile in 2026.
